Executive Relocation Sponsorship Jobs (NOW HIRING)

An emerging private equity investment firm focused on critical infrastructure sectors is seeking a founding CFO to build and lead its fund finance function.

This is a hands-on role for a finance leader who has worked within a private equity, venture capital, hedge fund, or institutional asset management environment and is ready to build institutional-grade infrastructure from the ground up.

The CFO will work directly with the Managing Partner and play a key role in investor credibility, regulatory compliance, and platform expansion into future vehicles. The platform also includes a give-back/community component that requires strong integrity and clear reporting.

• Build and implement the fund finance foundation (processes, controls, close calendar, reporting templates).
• Own fund accounting and investor capital mechanics (capital accounts, allocations, waterfalls/carry calculations).
• Lead and manage third-party providers (fund administrator, audit, tax) and ensure audit-ready deliverables.
• Personally execute capital calls and distributions, including notices, tracking, and follow-through.
• Produce quarterly reporting for Limited Partners and manage LP-facing finance Q&A.
• Coordinate tax reporting deliverables (e.g., K-1 process through providers).
• Build and maintain the regulatory/compliance framework and filing calendar for an SEC-regulated environment.
• Support growth initiatives (fundraising readiness and finance infrastructure for additional investment vehicles).
• Build the internal finance function over time (start lean with external admin support; hire as the platform scales).

Requirements

• 5-10+ years of fund finance experience within PE/VC/hedge fund/institutional asset management.
• Proven hands-on ownership of LP reporting, capital calls, distributions, and fund accounting.
• Working knowledge of fund audits, investor reporting standards, and SEC regulatory requirements (e.g., ADV/PF).
• Strong Excel / financial modelling skills; able to build dashboards and templates as needed.
• Familiarity with fund accounting software (e.g., Allvue, Investran, eFront, Backstop, etc.).
• Bachelor's degree required; English fluency required.
• Must be authorised to work in the United States (no relocation/sponsorship support).

• CPA and/or CFA strongly preferred.
• Prior experience building fund finance at an emerging manager / first-time fund is a plus.
• SEC/FINRA compliance background preferred.

Benefits

Base Salary

$280,000 - $300,000 USD (depending on experience and geography).

• Annual performance bonus
• Long-term incentive participation in future investment vehicles.
• Comprehensive medical, dental, vision
• 401(k) with employer match (up to 4%).
