Hire Finance & Accounting Talent for Private Equity Firms

Private equity finance runs on two sets of books at once: the fund's and the portfolio companies' underneath it. MAVI places finance professionals who understand management fees, consolidation, and the debt that leveraged deals carry.

Private Equity Finance Expertise That Matters

Private equity finance sits above a stack of operating companies, each with its own books, debt, and reporting, rolled into a fund with its own economics. An accountant without PE experience can handle a single company well and still be lost in the consolidation, the fees, and the covenants that define the work.

1

Portfolio Consolidation

A PE firm has to roll multiple portfolio companies into a coherent picture while keeping each one's books intact. A specialist consolidates across holdings, handles intercompany, and keeps portfolio-level detail investors ask about. A generalist manages one entity cleanly and struggles the moment the structure is a fund holding a half-dozen companies that all have to consolidate.

2

Management Fees

Management fee and expense allocation between the fund, the management company, and the portfolio is specific and easy to get wrong. A specialist calculates fees, offsets, and allocations the way the agreements specify. A generalist can process expenses accurately and still misallocate between entities in ways that surface at audit.

3

Debt and Covenants

Leveraged deals carry debt with covenants that have to be tracked and reported on, or a breach goes unnoticed until it's a problem. A specialist monitors covenant compliance and reports against the credit agreement. A generalist can account for a loan and still miss the covenant tests that leveraged structures live under.

4

Carry and Distributions

PE waterfalls and carried interest work on their own terms across the fund's life. A specialist models distributions and allocates carry the way the LPA defines it. A generalist can split a gain and still get the preferred return, catch-up, and clawback mechanics wrong where precision is non-negotiable.
