Throughout the journey from ideation to first close (or beyond), we work extensively with multiple service partners, including fund lawyers, tax advisors, fund administrators, trustees, etc., coordinating on behalf of the GPs. Once the fund decides to hire a full-time CFO/FC, we assist in the hiring process and subsequently carry out a detailed handover to ensure operational continuity.
