What You'll Do

• Own all financial aspects of the organization from FP&A through Management Company Financials, Strategic Finance, etc. Leverage these functions to build and manage a long‑term plan for the business capable of enabling continued growth at scale.

• Analyze fund capital requirements and manage capital calls across all vehicles.
• Oversee structuring and execution of investments and divestitures in the US and overseas, fund formation, and portfolio company management.
• Lead the Firm’s monthly portfolio valuation process.
• Work with portfolio companies to holistically analyze finance and accounting operating performance and identify opportunities for improvement.
• Be a key, objective source of advice and counsel as the executive team makes both big and small decisions and communicate risks and issues as they arise, along with recommendations on how to improve them.

What We Look For

• CFO experience in Venture Capital (or a strong #2 ready to step up into the top job)
• Experience with investor reporting, including quarterly financial reporting, investor presentations, and communications to limited partners
• Fundraising experience is a big plus
• Relentless intellectual curiosity about how things work, from strategy to details. A doer, quick to roll up sleeves and become involved in the details of the business
