About Venture Equities
Venture Equities is building a sector agnostic investment platform focused on acquiring and partnering with cash flowing businesses. Our edge is structured capital solutions, meaning we engineer creative capital stacks, move fast, and protect downside with strong governance.
The role
We are building a founding partner bench and are looking for an Institutional CFO type leader on a fractional basis to help make Venture Equities look and operate institutional. This seat owns the fundamentals that LPs care about, reporting standards, controls, calendars, vendor coordination, and fund operations readiness.
This is not a salaried role today. The engagement starts performance based and paid from closes and outcomes. For the right fit, it can transition to a monthly retainer after the first close, or once workload becomes recurring.
Responsibilities
Build institutional fund finance and operational infrastructure across the platform
Own reporting cadence and calendars, monthly and quarterly close, investor reporting readiness
Coordinate fund admin, audit, tax, and legal workstreams to ensure clean execution
Implement basic controls, approvals, expense policies, and fee flow governance
Support fundraising readiness, DDQs, investor diligence, and data room hygiene
Create scalable templates for SPVs and platform reporting, capital calls, distributions, and KPI dashboards
Maintain a clean operating rhythm across vendors, deliverables, and timelines
What we provide
Direct access to the Managing Partner and a clear mandate to set standards
Live deal pipeline and active buildout of fund admin and legal infrastructure
Templates and process support, plus the ability to standardize across deals
Per deal economics documented in writing before work begins
Compensation and structure
This engagement starts performance based and paid from deal closings and platform outcomes. There is no salary in the initial phase.
Close based economics
Paid from sponsor fees or transaction fees we control, per deal, for active contributions documented in writing before work begins
Outcome based upside
Deal carry participation on transactions you materially contribute to, where applicable
Path to founding membership equity in the platform for the right fit, earned only after measurable milestones, with standard vesting
Retainer path
For the right fit, we can transition to a monthly retainer after the first close, or once workload and cadence become recurring, while maintaining performance upside.
Time commitment
Fractional, expected 5 to 10 hours per week to start, increasing during close windows or as we scale
Non exclusive is fine, as long as responsiveness and delivery standards are met
Ideal profile
Experience as a CFO, VP Finance, Head of Fund Finance, or similar at a private equity, private credit, real assets, or alternative investment platform
Deep familiarity with fund admin, audits, tax coordination, K 1 processes, SPV workflows, and investor reporting
Comfortable building from scratch in a founder led environment, high follow through, calm under pressure
Clear communicator with strong written discipline and high responsiveness
Owner mindset, you want to build a platform, not just maintain systems
Bonus points
Experience with Carta, Juniper Square, Allvue, Dynamo, DealCloud, or similar systems
Experience designing expense allocation policies and fee flow governance
Experience supporting LP onboarding, DDQs, and institutional diligence processes
