Pick the cutoff before you raise
A first fund does not need a 40-line close calendar. It needs three dates two people can keep: books cutoff, scorecard cutoff, and the LP send. Miss one and Dual Ledger cannot hold the pack together. Close week is also fundraising week. If NAV and units live in different tools, someone stays up stitching PDFs. That is how first-close packs slip a week, and how the scorecard becomes a side project the first time wires hit. Put both cutoffs on one calendar before you collect a dollar.
Three dates two people can keep
On a two-person GP team, close week is also fundraising week. If NAV and units live in different tools, someone stays up stitching PDFs. Dual Ledger is the desk that holds both numbers to those dates. It is not a full back office. You still need a bookkeeper who can post. We still need a named source file for each scorecard line. If units arrive two days after books, the scorecard waits. Do not send NAV alone and promise the appendix later. That is how first LPs learn the scorecard is optional.
Do not send NAV solo and promise the appendix later
Put both cutoffs on one calendar before you collect a dollar. If units arrive two days after books, Dual Ledger holds the scorecard. We do not ship NAV as a solo PDF with a promise of Tuesday. First funds that wait until wires hit learn this the hard way: the scorecard becomes a side project, IR is the glue, and the first LP pack is late. Start the calendar now if your first close is 90 days out. Email the three dates to support@mokofund.com before you send a subscription booklet.
A calendar is not a back office
A calendar is not a full back office. First funds still need a bookkeeper who can post. Dual Ledger is the desk that holds both numbers to those dates. We will not be your controller, your counsel, or your auditor. We will hold books cutoff, scorecard cutoff, and the LP send on one file. Filing support is assembly. Counsel files. Questions: support@mokofund.com.
Start the Dual Ledger calendar 90 days out, not after the first wire
If your first close is 90 days out, start the Dual Ledger calendar now. Waiting until wires hit is how the scorecard becomes a side project. Map NAV dates, the LP send, and the scorecard lines LPs already expect. Name a source file and an owner for each line. Lines without an owner do not get a template slot. Book the scope call. Send the three dates to support@mokofund.com.
Name the three dates without opening a spreadsheet
Ask who can name the three dates without opening a spreadsheet. If nobody can, the first LP pack will be late. Dual Ledger is built so those dates live next to the books. Book a scope call with a vehicle and a first close. Email the calendar to support@mokofund.com.
Close calendars for first funds
Close discipline when the GP team is small and everyone still has a day job.
