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.

Build for tomorrow

Think long-term solutions and processes, not band-aids

Serve as a partner

Not just a consultant or another service provider

Go the extra mile

Delivering what’s expected, on schedule is table stakes

We are actively building our team through hiring Associates, Managers, and Directors; each requiring a similar background in back-office investment operations. Title and level of seniority are based on a candidate’s individual background and relevant work experience. .

Managers and Directors are directly responsible for providing outsourced CFO/Controller services, assisting clients with new fund launches, and managing project-based engagements. The nature of our work is very hands-on, and every member of our team is client-facing. Managers and Directors will oversee the work of Associates.

We pride ourselves on selecting clients who truly value our partnership and we enjoy acting as an extension of their business. Our team reaps the rewards of the camaraderie and intellectual stimulation that comes with being an integral part of an investment manager’s operations, yet we also enjoy having visibility into multiple strategies and protection against the volatility of just one fund or investment manager. This position offers the opportunity to be a foundational member of a dynamic and high-quality organization, providing lifestyle integration and an attractive career trajectory for exceptional performance.
