Junonia Partners - Fund Controller/CFO (Spring 2023)

Junonia Partners provides Outsourced CFO and Controller level services to investment advisors of hedge funds, private equity funds, and venture capital funds. Upon realizing the value and importance of having a strong back office partner, Junonia was founded to focus on providing the highest level of partnership: treat each client’s business as if it was your own. Our experience in both in-house and service provider roles has shown us what matters most to investment managers who want more than just another consultant or service provider.

We are an early-stage firm in growth mode.  We are building the team and are hiring Associates, Managers and Directors; each with a similar background in back office operations, but with differing levels of experience.  While this description is geared toward the role of “Manager,” we welcome interest from candidates earlier in their career and we are also open to more senior candidates who have experience in leadership roles and pitching clients.

Managers are directly responsible for providing outsourced CFO/Controller services, new fund launches, and project-based engagements.  The nature of our work is very hands-on and every member of our team is in a client-facing role.  Managers will oversee the work of Associates and will report to a Director who serves as the lead on the client engagement.

We pride ourselves on selecting clients who truly value our partnership and we enjoy acting as an extension of their teams­­­­. We reap the rewards of the camaraderie and intellectual stimulation that comes with being a part of an individual fund manager, yet we also enjoy having visibility into multiple strategies and protection against the volatility of just one fund.  This position offers the opportunity to be a foundational member of a high quality organization, a balanced lifestyle, and an especially attractive career trajectory for exceptional performance.
