Fiduciary Accounting Services, LLC and MSU Fiduciary Partners were delighted to host our first San Francisco Spring Social on Thursday, April 16th. The event was held in the Cebiche Lounge at La Mar restaurant along the iconic Embarcadero waterfront. The vibrant venue provided the ideal backdrop to gather with colleagues while enjoying Peruvian cuisine and specialty drinks. The evening was a wonderful opportunity to connect with colleagues and celebrate the exceptional people we have the pleasure of serving. Thank you to all our attendees for sharing your time with us. We look forward to seeing you at next year’s event!
How We Work
Our proven methodology will transform details and clarify complex transactions, resulting in a fiduciary accounting that provides you with confidence in your role as trustee, executor or conservator.
For the Trustee, Executor, and Conservator
We understand this can be a stressful and potentially overwhelming process. FAS will work with you to seamlessly navigate this process, ensuring that all required information is gathered and ultimately presented in a full and accurate account of the activity under your responsibility for discussion with your counsel or other third parties.

The FAS Process
We have a focused approach to meet the specialized accounting needs of trusts, estates, and conservatorships.
Engage
Our process begins with a short meeting or call to review of the case, including an understanding of the assets, the trustee or executor’s role to date, and the reason for preparing the accountings. Upon completion of the initial review, the engagement letter is sent with a checklist or initial list of requested documents.
Gather
Upon receipt of the initial documents, we review for a deeper understanding of each individual asset, including title, institution, and activity level, allowing FAS to identify and communicate any additional information that will be required to complete the fiduciary accounting.
Draft
Our experience and methodology allow us to move through the documentation quickly and effectively to track, document, and report all transactions and complete the fiduciary accounting schedules.
Deliver
We present a draft of the fiduciary accounting for your review. At this time, we may suggest review of transactions that require additional explanation, include any outstanding questions or issues for consideration, and recommend footnotes or supplemental schedules to produce further clarity.
Finalize
The fiduciary accounting is circulated to the trustee, executor, or conservator as and their counsel for any final comments.
