Hire Finance & Accounting Talent for Venture Capital Firms

A VC firm's books are a fund's, not a company's. Capital calls, carried interest, and LPs who expect reporting to the dollar. MAVI places finance professionals who have worked inside fund structures and know how the money flows from commitment to distribution.

Venture Capital Finance Expertise That Matters

Fund accounting is its own world, and little from corporate accounting transfers cleanly. The entities, the waterfall, the LP relationships, and the valuation of illiquid positions all work differently, and an accountant who has only closed a company's books can be unprepared for how a fund actually runs.

1

Fund Accounting

A fund draws capital in stages, deploys it across a portfolio, and tracks every dollar against each LP's commitment. A specialist manages capital calls, tracks drawdowns against commitments, and keeps the books aligned with the partnership agreement. A generalist understands company cash flow and still has to learn capital calls and unfunded commitments from the ground up before they can be trusted with it.

2

Carry and Waterfall

Carried interest is the heart of VC economics, and allocating it across the preferred return, catch-up, and split tiers is unforgiving. A specialist models the waterfall and allocates carry the way the LPA specifies. A generalist can compute a profit split in theory and still get the tiering and timing wrong, which is the one calculation a fund cannot be loose about.

3

LP Reporting

Limited partners expect capital account statements, IRR, and quarterly reporting that ties out and arrives on schedule. A specialist maintains individual capital accounts and produces reporting that survives scrutiny from sophisticated investors. A generalist can build financial statements and still be unfamiliar with the capital-account format and performance metrics LPs actually read.

4

Portfolio Valuation

A fund's value lives in illiquid private positions that have to be marked and rolled into NAV on a defensible basis. A specialist handles valuation marks, tracks them through rounds, and builds NAV the way auditors and LPs expect. A generalist is used to valuing what has a clear market price and finds marking private holdings an unfamiliar judgment call.
