Job Description
Position Title: CFO
A newly launching international private capital platform in Boston is seeking a CFO to build its finance function from the first day. The role sits next to the CEO in the office, takes over the firm’s forecasts and numbers, and carries the financial credibility of the firm in front of investors on Wall Street and in the City of London. A senior team of about ten has already been selected, many from large corporates, and the firm operates without a rigid hierarchy.
The CFO will help raise the firm’s initial capital, shape the funds and investor structures that follow, and serve as the final internal word on financial integrity. Compensation includes a target bonus of 1.75x base, with the opportunity to participate in co-founder voting equity at the founder’s discretion. The firm is private, with no plans to go public, and its reach spans North America and Europe, with offices in Boston, London, Madrid, and Switzerland.
Salary Range: $300,000 / Year
Plus a target annual bonus of 1.75x base salary, paid 70% in cash over three years and 30% in non-voting management incentive shares that vest over three years

- Lead the formation and ongoing management of international funds and investor-driven fund structures supporting private placements
- Collaborate with senior executives on business development directed toward targeted investor classes
- Build the finance function from the ground up as the firm launches
CFO Requirements
- 15 or more years of experience as a CFO or VP of Finance, ideally in the private capital space and within an international corporate environment
- Demonstrated success raising capital, including credit facilities, equity tranches, and investment from Limited Partners and direct investors
- Existing Wall Street investor relationships and the presence to represent the firm in New York and London
- Strong accounting foundation, combining investment-banking CFO experience with CPA-track rigor
- Experience as the final internal authority on a firm’s financial integrity
- Experience forecasting and presenting financial results to an executive management committee
- Experience forming and maintaining international funds and investor-driven fund structures in connection with private placements
- Working knowledge of internationally recognized accounting standards, including IFRS, as applied to advisory services, financial services operations, and investment management

- Strong managerial and communication skills, with regular interaction at the Main Board and Management Committee levels
- Outstanding academic credentials and partner or senior associate experience at a recognized international accounting firm, with a track record at the executive level
- Full-time, on-site presence in Boston every day, with a start between 8 and 9 a.m. and occasional off-hours meetings due to international partnerships
- An MBA or equivalent experience is preferred
