MD, Agentic Fund Finance & Operations

About Equi

Equi exists to give investors superior tools to own their financial future. We bring institutional-quality alternative strategies — the small-to-midsize, hard-to-replicate kind that are genuinely difficult to access — to the wealth channel and institutional investors. Our ambition is to be a leading alternatives investment partner, and to elevate every portfolio we touch.

The opportunity in front of us is large. Alternatives allocation in the wealth channel is still a fraction of what it will be, and the firms serving it are mostly offering the same handful of strategies through the same structures. We build multi-strategy funds and custom mandates for some of the best independent multi-family offices and advisory firms in the country, and we pair deep manager selection with portfolio construction most of our competitors cannot run.

Momentum is the reason this seat exists now. We just launched the largest client in our history and have several more signed or close to it, with a multiple of today's assets as the near-term target. We are roughly ten people, which means this hire shapes the function rather than inherits it.

One thing to understand about the work: our funds invest through several layers of vehicles, onshore and offshore. That structure is what lets us deliver these strategies to this channel, and it makes the accounting and reporting genuinely complex. The finance function here is more demanding than the size of the firm suggests.

About the role

We are hiring an MD, Agentic Fund Finance & Operations to own the finance function for the fund complex and the management company.

You own the numbers the firm publishes: the NAV cycle and the reconciliation behind it, fund expenses and the annual budget, treasury and cash, audit and tax, and the corporate financials that go to the CEO and the board. You own the financial and legal architecture of every new vehicle we launch.

Fund finance and fund operations are peer functions here. Our Head of Fund Operations owns the operational execution of the close, investor transactions and capital activity. You own the financial standards, the controls and the reporting those processes run against. The two of you are jointly accountable for the complex, and the partnership is the job.

Three things make this different from a controller seat at a larger shop.

We outsource our books and records on purpose. Your job is not to re-do that work. It is to understand every number well enough to catch an error before it reaches an investor, to decide the firm's position when two sources disagree, and to hold the whole network to a standard. That takes the depth of someone who could run the close themselves.

The seat carries real legal ownership. You take point with outside counsel on fund launches, structuring and documentation, and you read the governing documents closely enough to know what they commit us to. We are not asking you to be our lawyer. We are asking for a finance leader fluent enough to own that relationship rather than route around it.

The seat is agentic by design. When something recurring is manual, we expect you to build the thing that removes it rather than absorb the work or add a headcount to it. You do not have to build every piece yourself. You do have to be capable of it, and you have to want to.

This is a senior finance leadership seat reporting to the CEO.

Why the title says "agentic"

Because we mean it, and because it is the fastest way to tell you whether this seat is for you.

Most fund finance roles are a person doing the work. This one is a person deciding what the work should be, and then building the things that do it. We expect the holder of this seat to ship agents and automations that carry the close, the reconciliation, the intake of manager statements and the first pass of document review, and to keep extending them as the complex grows. The accounting bar is unchanged and uncompromising. What is different is that we will not hire someone whose answer to a recurring manual process is to hire another person to do it.

If that reads as a stretch rather than an attraction, this is not the right seat, and we would rather you know that from the title.

What you'll own

• Financial reporting and the close: The NAV cycle across every vehicle, the reconciliation between our own view and our providers', and final sign-off before anything reaches investors. You own the close calendar and the standard it is held to.

• Fund expenses, budget and corporate finance: The annual fund expense budget, the allocation policy across vehicles, and the re-billing between fund and management company. Partnership with the CEO on corporate financials, burn, runway and board reporting.

• Treasury and money movement: The firm's cash position across operating and fund accounts, at banks and prime brokers, current rather than reconstructed at month end. The controls and approval authority around every wire.

• Audit, tax and regulatory: The annual audit as the firm's counterpart to the auditor. The tax cycle, with the preparer doing the work and you accountable for it landing. The firm's regulatory and compliance positions, alongside our compliance partner. Ongoing ownership of fund documents, side letters and investor agreements as the complex grows.

• Fund launches, structuring and legal: The financial and legal architecture of every new vehicle: structure, fee terms, governing documents, entity formation, registrations, account opening and administrator onboarding. You take point with outside counsel throughout. We launch regularly, and the existing complex cannot slip while it happens.

• Partnership with fund operations: Capital activity, the investor register, investor onboarding and the day-to-day close sit with our Head of Fund Operations and our outsourced partners. You set the financial standards and controls those processes run against, and the two functions are jointly accountable for the result.
