Alethia

Overview

Alethia is entity management software for private equity, funds and investment managers. It suits teams that need to manage ownership, documents and compliance alongside deal and funds-flow workflows.

Its strongest case is connecting entity records to approvals and audit history; its limits include a five-entity Free plan and no movement of money or live payment visibility.

Key features

Entity records and ownership

Alethia keeps entity records, ownership, documents and compliance in one system, with support for multi-country structures, governance documents and filing deadline tracking. Structure charts draw on those entity and ownership records and export to PDF, PowerPoint and Excel, making them useful for sharing a current view without rebuilding it in presentation tools. CSV import can help teams move entities and key fields from an existing register.

Deal, funds flow and KYC

The deal pipeline moves through six stages and can create a draft holding entity at Heads of Terms. That links early deal tracking with entity setup, though it is a pipeline rather than a full payment workflow. Foundation checks whether funds-flow sources and uses reconcile, then requires someone other than the preparer to approve release. For incoming KYC requests, Alethia breaks the request into requirements, proposes answers with their sources identified, and requires human approval for each answer. These controls suit teams that want a review step around sensitive outputs; AI assists with drafts and proposed answers, not autonomous approval.

Controls and deployment

Two-factor authentication is required for every user on every plan, and material changes enter an append-only audit trail. Alethia says workspace data is not used to train third-party models or sent to translation tooling. Database records and uploaded files are stored in Google Cloud's London region, while application servers run in Vercel's London region. Alethia does not hold a SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certificate, a relevant consideration for organisations that require either certification.

Bank mandate records cover accounts, signatories and mandate controls, but Alethia neither moves money nor shows live payments. Teams needing payment execution or monitoring will need another system for that part of the process.

Pricing

Alethia has a Free plan and paid plans with 12-month commitments. Paid prices exclude VAT. Every plan includes onboarding, help moving an existing register and email support; Governance and Enterprise add dedicated onboarding. There is no free trial.

The Free plan's five-entity ceiling makes it a limited ongoing option for an operating fund or investment manager. Registry raises the included allowance to 100 but commits the buyer for a year; entity growth beyond that allowance adds a monthly charge. Enterprise includes Google Workspace and Microsoft Entra ID directory sign-in, SCIM provisioning, API keys, webhooks and integrations. Its REST API allows 1,000 requests per key per 15 minutes, while properties and fund commitments are read-only through the API.

Platforms

Alethia is available on web and through an API. The API is not a route to full data editing: properties and fund commitments are read-only, and the stated Enterprise request limit is 1,000 per key per 15 minutes.

Who it's for

Alethia is built for private equity firms, real estate investment managers, fund managers, and corporate services, finance, legal and compliance teams. It is a stronger fit for organisations that value controlled KYC and funds-flow approvals, structured ownership records and an audit trail than for teams seeking payment execution or a certified SOC 2 or ISO 27001 provider.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Ownership records generate exportable structure charts, reducing the gap between maintaining entity data and sharing it.
• Pro: Funds-flow reconciliation and separate release approval, plus per-answer KYC approval, put explicit human checks into sensitive workflows.
• Pro: Two-factor authentication applies on every plan, and material changes are retained in an append-only audit trail.
• Con: Free supports at most five entities, while paid plans require a 12-month commitment.
• Con: Bank mandates are records and controls only; there is no payment movement or live payment view.
• Con: Alethia does not yet hold SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certification, which may rule it out for buyers with those requirements.

Alternatives

Legal Entity Management Software is the broader category list for readers who want to compare more entity-management options.

Choose EntityFlo instead if a one-entity free account with access to every feature is the priority; its Starter plan covers up to 25 entities, five users and 25GB of storage for A$199 a month. Choose Inform Direct if a free allowance of up to 10 companies is a better fit, with chargeable transactions paid separately or on a per-transaction basis.

Computershare BoardWorks is another option for readers comparing board and committee software. Diligent Audit is an alternative for readers seeking audit software. CSC Corptax is an alternative for readers seeking corporate tax software. GlobalBoards is another paid option. Commenda may suit readers looking for fixed-price corporate services such as intercompany agreements, benchmarking studies and local files. CT hCue Entity Management is another paid entity-management option.

Verdict

Alethia is a strong candidate for private equity, fund and investment-management teams that want entity records connected to controlled funds-flow and KYC approvals, with an audit trail and exportable ownership charts. Choose it for those governance workflows; look elsewhere if payment execution, live payment monitoring or SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certification is essential.
