How Blueleaf Billing works

Every fee model, every custodian, every exception. Automated.

NOT A TYPICAL Fee Calculator AN ENTERPRISE Automated Billing Platform

Flexibility for any fee structure

Every fee model your firm uses, in one engine, with no workarounds and nothing to reconcile afterwards.

Flat percentage, tiered-blended, or tiered-flat
Blended splits the balance across bands. Flat charges one rate on the whole balance
Subscription fees, charged every cycle
One-time fees for onboarding, a plan review, anything off-schedule
Minimum and maximum fees per client, applied across every fee type
Monthly or quarterly, in advance or arrears
Valued at end of period or average daily balance

Adjust client and account-level fees for any circumstances

Real books have exceptions. Set them where they belong and they carry forward on their own.

A per-account exception when one account bills differently from the rest of the household
Exclude a ticker firm-wide, for one client, or on a single account
Exclude cash the same way. Search CASH, or a money market fund by its ticker
Exclude an account permanently, or drop it from a single run
Bill held-away assets, or leave them out, institution by institution
Combined billing so tiers apply to a household’s total, not each client’s own
New and departing accounts prorated automatically
Fee Breakdown shows a Less: Exclusions line between market value and billable value, so you can see what came out.

Configurable debiting rules

Where a fee is calculated and where it is collected are two different decisions.

Draw the fee from the account that earned it
Or from any other account the client holds, at any custodian
Or bill the client directly and keep it out of the custodian file
Change one account, or hundreds at once from the grid
A Fidelity account can settle a fee assessed on a Schwab account. Only the collection moves.

Invoices delivered automatically

Invoices come out of the approved run and go straight to your clients.

Generated from the approved run, one per client
Sent to client portals with one button
Preview or download any invoice, or take the whole set as a zip
Branded and itemized by account

Works with any custodian

One file per custodian, in the format that custodian expects.

One export file per custodian
Generic, a custodian-specific format Blueleaf maintains, or one you build
Custom formats carry a header row and six optional columns, each with your own heading
Saved firm-wide, reusable on any custodian, any run
Custodian formats are maintained centrally, so when a custodian changes its spec the fix reaches every firm.

Proactive alerts help you get it right, early

The next cycle is calculated off today’s data, all period, so problems surface while there is still time to fix them.

Flags split into what needs a decision and what’s just worth knowing
Missing fee schedules, unassigned accounts, insufficient cash, missing data
AUM and fee-change anomalies, against thresholds you set
Per-custodian import status, so you know the data arrived before you bill
A projected run built from today’s data, before the period closes

Enterprise-class access controls and permissions

Control who can change what, and keep a record of every decision.

Admin, Billing Manager and Viewer roles built in
Custom roles across five areas of the system
Restricting editing never hides a page, so people can still see their work
Every resolved flag logged with its note, dated, by client and account
Re-run a cycle when something’s wrong, with the original preserved as a record
