Placement Story

At a privately owned real estate firm managing around $500M in assets, Pacific Executive Search successfully placed a highly qualified Manager/Director of Finance and Accounting. The candidate, a CPA with 4 to 8 years of experience and a strong real estate and fund accounting background, was the first in-house accounting professional, reporting directly to the Managing Partner. This search posed a unique challenge due to the role's potential evolution into a CFO position. The successful placement significantly enhanced the company's banking and cash management operations, annual audit processes, and fund administration. Based in Los Angeles, this role provided the candidate with a remarkable opportunity to contribute to a dynamic, expanding organization.
