Expert Fund Accountants, Controllers, Treasury, and Investor Relations
Running an investment firm requires more than portfolio managers. It requires a world-class operations team. From fund accounting and treasury to investor relations and compliance, your ability to scale depends on having experienced professionals in place. Pacific Executive Search (PES) assists hedge funds, private equity firms, and alternative investment firms in recruiting proven finance and operations leaders who understand complex structures, investor reporting, and SEC requirements.
From analysts to senior executives, we align every search with your fund's operational maturity and asset strategy.
More Than a Recruiting Firm
Investment firms need more than accountants — they need strategic finance professionals who can manage complex fund structures, investor reporting, treasury operations, and regulatory compliance.
Our recruiters deliver vetted, high-performing talent aligned with your firm's culture, practice goals, and client service standards.
Common questions about recruiting fund operations and investment accounting professionals.
We recruit across hedge funds, private equity funds, venture capital firms, real estate investment funds, credit funds, and fund-of-funds. Each fund type has unique operational requirements — from NAV calculation and investor reporting to capital call processing and compliance. We match candidates to your specific fund structure and asset strategy.
Fund accountants require specialized knowledge of partnership structures, waterfall calculations, investor allocations, and regulatory reporting that corporate accountants don't encounter. Our headhunting approach identifies professionals with hands-on fund accounting experience rather than screening for general accounting credentials.
