ORCA

Structure charts, entity management, and regulatory reporting in one place.

01 — Overview

What ORCA does

Entity management for complex family structures involves tracking dozens of legal entities, ownership percentages, compliance deadlines, and regulatory filings across multiple jurisdictions. Without purpose-built tooling, this work typically lives in spreadsheets, email threads, and disconnected document folders. ORCA is a cloud-based platform that centralises entity ownership, structure visualisation, and regulatory reporting into a single environment, built specifically for family offices, trust companies, and private client advisors managing multi-layered ownership structures.

The platform's design prioritises the compliance and administrative workflows that consume the most time in a family office operations function:

  • Auto-generated ownership structure charts that reflect past, present, or future states
  • Automated gap analysis that flags missing or incomplete entity data before it creates a problem
  • Beneficial ownership reporting aligned to the Corporate Transparency Act and AML regulations
  • KYC data collection via secure links, eliminating back-and-forth email exchanges
  • Data import directly from Addepar or Excel, with additional APIs available on request
  • Immutable audit log with zero-trust encryption and Swiss-based data centres

Clients referenced on the site include both single and multi-family offices, law firms, and trust companies, with testimonials citing 85% efficiency gains in entity administration and significant time savings on AML and BOI filings. ORCA is headquartered in Zurich and holds GDPR compliance, with data hosted in Swiss facilities. The platform positions itself as a replacement for combinations of document management tools, compliance trackers, and filing software rather than a supplement to them. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, and prospective buyers will need to request a demo to understand cost structure. Teams that already use a full-suite family office ERP with strong entity management modules may find overlap with existing functionality.
