Chief Financial Officer (Atlanta)

Open Opportunity Fund is a venture and growth investment firm backing B2B software companies across Enterprise IT, fintech, and people infrastructure. We invest in business-critical software shaped by cloud and AI, with a strong track record sourcing differentiated opportunities beyond the traditional venture hubs. Fund I was a $100M fund, and we are now raising Fund II as we scale the platform and institutionalize our operations.

Role Overview

The Chief Financial Officer (CFO) will be a core member of Open Opportunity Fund’s leadership team and will own fund finance and management company finance end-to-end—reporting, controls, audit/tax management, LP financial reporting, cash planning, and financial systems. This is a hands-on role: you will architect the operating cadence, manage external providers, and ensure we deliver institutional-grade accuracy and responsiveness.

Key Responsibilities

Firm & Fund Financial Leadership

• Own fund and management company finance end-to-end, partnering with our fund administrator firm to deliver a reliable close, budgeting/forecasting, and cash planning cadence.
• Oversee fund financial statements, capital calls, distributions, capital accounts, management fees, and waterfall/carry calculations—ensuring accuracy through review, reconciliation, and quality control.
• Deliver institutional-quality quarterly and annual LP financial reporting; ensure consistency across LP statements, schedules, and supporting workpapers.
• Partner with leadership on firm strategy, resource allocation, and long-term financial planning (runway, hiring plan, operating leverage).

Fundraising, LP Financial Diligence & Reporting

• Own the financial workstream for fundraising and LP diligence: track record schedules, fund model support, DDQs, and data room readiness.
• Serve as the primary point of contact for LP financial questions (reporting, fees, valuations, audit/tax timing), coordinating with the partners on investor communications.
• Maintain reporting standards expected by institutional LPs (clarity, timeliness, audit-ready support, and well-documented assumptions).

Accounting, Tax & Governance

• Manage and performance-manage external providers (fund admin, audit, tax, legal) with clear scopes, timelines, and SLAs; proactively resolve discrepancies and process breaks.
• Own audit and tax execution across entities and vehicles, including calendar management, issue resolution, and K-1 communications and timelines.
• Implement and maintain internal controls and policies (expense policy, approvals matrix, wire controls, documentation standards, and segregation of duties) appropriate for an institutional platform.
• Partner with counsel and compliance resources to maintain compliance posture

SPVs, Sidecars & Special Vehicles

• Own financial operations for SPVs/sidecars/co-invest vehicles in coordination with fund administrator: launch playbooks, investor onboarding/subscription tracking, closings, capital calls/distributions, deal-level reporting, and wind-downs.
• Ensure consistent fee/expense allocation, reporting standards, and investor communications across special vehicles.

SSBCI / SBIC Program Finance & Reporting

• Lead financial planning, reporting, and compliance support for structured capital programs, including SSBCI and SBIC-related requirements (as applicable).
• Build and maintain program-specific reporting, data integrity, and audit readiness; coordinate across administrators, counsel, and program stakeholders
• Ensure investment, eligibility, and documentation workflows align with program rules and reporting obligations, without slowing core investing operations.

Operational Excellence & Infrastructure

• Optimize finance systems and workflows with the fund administration firm, improving automation, data quality, and reporting efficiency.
• Partner internally on compensation, expense management, and vendor oversight; ensure clean allocations and defensible policies.

Strategic Partnership & Leadership

• Act as a trusted advisor to the Managing Partners on financial strategy, risk, and performance optimization.
• Collaborate with the investment team on deal structuring, reserves planning, and valuation documentation.
• Represent the firm with LPs, co-investors, and external partners as the senior finance leader—credible, responsive, and detail-accurate.

This role is ideal for a CFO who thrives in an entrepreneurial environment, enjoys building scalable financial infrastructure, and is passionate about supporting founders and investors in high-growth markets.

This role is based in Atlanta or Miami and is available for an immediate start.

Qualifications & Experience

• 10+ years of progressive experience in finance, fund accounting, or investment operations, with significant experience in venture capital, private equity, or alternative asset management.
• Senior leadership experience (CFO, VP Finance, Head of Fund Finance/Operations, or equivalent) within an investment firm, fund administrator, or institutional investment platform.
• Deep understanding of fund structures and mechanics, including capital calls, distributions, capital accounts, management fees/expenses, and carried interest/waterfall calculations.
• Strong track record owning institutional LP reporting, including quarterly reporting packages, ad hoc LP inquiries, and diligence support (DDQs, data rooms, track record schedules).
• Experience managing external providers (fund administrator, audit, tax, legal) with clear scopes, timelines, and quality control; ability to diagnose and resolve reporting “breaks” quickly.
• Direct experience with structured capital programs such as SSBCI and/or SBIC, including program reporting, compliance coordination, eligibility/documentation requirements, and audit readiness.
• Experience supporting SPVs, sidecars, and co-invest vehicles, including investor onboarding/subscription tracking, closings, capital calls/distributions, deal-level reporting, and wind-downs.
• Strong familiarity with audit and tax processes for investment funds and management companies, including partnership tax workflows and K-1 planning and communications.
• Systems fluency with fund administration and reporting workflows; experience working with platforms like Aduro (or comparable fund administrators) and improving the operating cadence, data integrity, and reporting efficiency.
• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or related field required; CPA and/or CFA strongly preferred (or equivalent experience).
