Director of Finance | Growth Equity Platform | High Impact.

Robert Half • San Mateo, CA • 1d ago

Description

Please apply to this posting and ping me on LinkedIn for additional consideration - Mahmoud Adam, CPA

?? Compensation: $250K-$300K Base (Stretch) + Bonus + Carry (DOE)

?? Location: San Francisco | Hybrid

This is not your typical Controller opportunity.

If you're looking for another role where you simply close the books every month... this probably isn't it.

This is an opportunity to become the financial right hand to the Managing Partner of a rapidly growing private equity firm-and help shape the future of the business.

You'll own the finance function, influence strategic decisions, manage relationships with fund administrators, auditors, banks, and advisors, while helping scale a firm that's actively investing in the middle market across Business Services, Technology, and Information Services.

If you're the @type of finance leader who enjoys building, improving, solving problems, and thinking like an owner, you'll likely thrive here.

?? What You'll Do

Own the accounting and finance function across Funds, GP, and Management Company

Partner directly with the Managing Partner on strategic initiatives

Lead quarterly closes, financial reporting, budgeting, forecasting, and FP& A

Manage treasury, capital calls, distributions, cash forecasting, and liquidity

Oversee outsourced accounting partners while remaining hands-on

Drive process improvements, automation, KPIs, and operational efficiency

Support audits, tax compliance, investment valuations, and investor reporting

?? Why This Opportunity Stands Out

? Report directly to firm leadership with exceptional visibility

? Play a critical role in scaling a growing private equity platform

? Broad exposure across Fund Accounting, GP Accounting, Management Company Finance, FP& A, Treasury, Operations, and Strategy

? Small, entrepreneurial team where your ideas actually get implemented

? Significant long-term upside through bonus and carry participation

? High-autonomy environment with no micromanagement

Requirements

?? This Role Could Be a Great Fit If You...

Have deep experience with private equity fund structures

Understand the complexities of GP, Fund, and Management Company accounting

Enjoy owning your function instead of operating in a narrowly defined role

Are equally comfortable rolling up your sleeves and thinking strategically

Want to help build something-not just maintain it

Thrive in entrepreneurial, fast-moving environments

? What We're Looking For

8+ years of accounting/finance experience

CPA, MBA, or similar credentials preferred

Strong private equity, fund, or alternative investment experience

Hands-on experience across Fund, GP, and Management Company operations

Strong FP& A, treasury, financial modeling, and reporting skills

Excellent business judgment, communication skills, and ownership mentality
