What this hire actually owns.

Operating partners looking for an analyst who collects the numbers from every portfolio company on time, in the same shape, and says what changed.

Own

Owns the monthly KPI and financial collection from each portfolio company, on a calendar the company CFOs actually keep.

Translate

Turns raw packs into one consistent view in Excel or the firm's reporting tool, with the variances and the open questions written down.

Protect

Tracks 100-day plans and value-creation initiatives so the operating partner sees what slipped before the board meeting does.

Why this seat is hard to fill.

Every portfolio company reports a little differently, a little late, and a little wrong. The operating team needs someone who chases the monthly KPI pack, normalises it, ties it to the last board deck, and notices when a margin moved for a reason nobody has explained yet. It is analyst work that runs on relationships with portfolio company finance teams, which is why the people who are good at it are hard to pry loose.

How we reach them.

  • Every search starts with the portfolio operations analysts who are in the seat right now, in Medellín, Bogotá, Buenos Aires, and Mexico City. The ones who can get a portfolio company CFO to report on time built that relationship over years, and their firm knows it.
  • We reach them by warm intro, prior-network referral, and a researched personal email. Never a job post, never a recruiter blast.
  • Eight active searches a month, so the outreach stays personal enough that someone with a job reads it.

How we check them.

  • An Excel exercise: three portfolio company packs in three different formats, normalised into one view with the variances explained in a short note.
  • A follow-up exercise: a portfolio company CFO who missed the reporting date twice, handled in writing without damaging the relationship.
  • The same scorecard and reference checks we run on our own hires, with references from the people who actually managed them. We put forward only people we would hire ourselves.

Want the hire trained to run AI in the seat? We offer that as a separate, optional bootcamp — priced on its own, never bundled into the placement fee.

We say no more often than we say yes.

  • Your operating partners assemble portfolio reporting themselves every month.
  • Portfolio companies report in different formats and nobody reconciles them.
  • You have 100-day plans or value-creation work that needs one person keeping score.
  • You need an operating partner to lead a turnaround.
  • The role will have no access to portfolio company finance teams.
  • You hold one company and its reporting takes an afternoon.
