Placement Story

Pacific Executive Search successfully placed a seasoned finance executive with extensive private equity fund accounting experience at a leading venture capital and private equity firm. This CPA-qualified leader, with a background in Big 4, now guides the financial direction of a $1.2B AUM PE firm in Southern California, bringing financial acumen to a team primed for growth and stability. Despite a challenging 36-day timeline, we found an on-site candidate who could manage complex financial functions and possessed intellectual curiosity. The successful placement now liaises with third-party fund administrators, coordinates audits, and oversees compliance and investor relations, strengthening the financial foundation of this dynamic firm.
