When a leading middle-et private equity firm with $5B in assets under management needed a seasoned professional to oversee their fund accounting, Pacific Executive Search was their go-to partner.

The candidate, a Certified Public Accountant, carried a rich blend of Big 4 public accounting and industry experience, with the ability to manage fund accounting operations, third-party administrators, and support treasury functions. This strategic placement not only stabilized the firm's finance team but also enhanced their financial reporting and internal control systems. Our candidate’s expertise in handling complex accounting tasks, coupled with a strong understanding of private equity structures and fund lifecycle, made him the ideal fit for this Los Angeles-based, confidential search.
