Hivemind is looking for a detail-oriented Head of Finance to join our team. The Head of Finance will own the end-to-end finance function, with a particular emphasis on FP&A, strategic finance, accounting oversight, treasury management, taxation, and reporting across the management company, funds, affiliated entities, and broader group companies.

As Head of Finance, you will own and upgrade the firm’s financial architecture: building scalable systems and durable financial processes, driving operational rigor, and supporting strategic decision-making. You will translate complex financial data into clear, actionable insights that help the firm make high-impact decisions, while also mentoring and growing a team of bright Accounting professionals. You will directly oversee the finance team, including Corporate Accounting and Fund Accounting, ensuring strong execution across both operating-company finance and asset-management finance. This role is perfect for those who are as comfortable diving into transaction-level data with their Accounting Team as they are crafting high-level financial strategy with the Executive Team.

What You'll Do

Finance, FP&A & Strategic Planning

Partner with firm leadership on budgeting, forecasting, liquidity planning, and long-range financial strategy
Own the FP&A function, including annual budgeting, rolling forecasts, variance analysis, scenario planning, management reporting, and financial performance analysis
Build financial models and scenario analyses that support investment activity, operational planning, and strategic initiatives, group-company planning, and fundraising decisions
Prepare clear, decision-useful financial reporting for the Executive Team, including performance versus budget, cash runway, liquidity, operating KPIs, and forward-looking financial risks and opportunities
Support fundraising and capital formation efforts across the group by preparing financial materials, forecasts, diligence responses, and investor-facing analyses
Act as a strategic finance partner to senior leadership, bringing both commercial judgment and accounting discipline to key decisions

Finance Operations, Accounting & Controls

Design and implement scalable finance processes, controls, and operating procedures across the organization
Oversee accounting operations across the management company, fund, and affiliated entities
Manage month-end close processes, reconciliations, and consolidated financial reporting
Manage, mentor, and develop the Corporate Accountant and Fund Accountant functions, setting clear standards for accuracy, timeliness, controls, and continuous improvement
Own key treasury and liquidity management processes across fiat and digital asset environments
Support the preparation of and review fund financial statements, capital account statements, allocations, and waterfall calculations
Coordinate capital calls, distributions, investor reporting, and supporting analyses
Review LPAs, side letters, and governing documents to ensure operational and financial alignment
Support audits, tax processes, K-1 preparation, and external financial reviews
Coordinate with external administrators, auditors, tax advisors, payroll providers, banks, custodians, and other finance-related service providers
Evaluate and improve the firm’s finance technology stack, including ERP, reporting, and operational tooling
Help design, implement, and review finance policies and operational procedures
Champion the use of AI and automation tools across the finance function, identifying opportunities to eliminate manual work, accelerate reporting cycles, and free the team to focus on higher-value analysis and decision support

Our Ideal Candidate

6+ years of professional experience in finance, accounting, fund operations, or related fields
CPA, ACA, ACCA, or equivalent accounting qualification strongly preferred
Demonstrated FP&A experience, including budgeting, forecasting, financial modeling, variance analysis, management reporting, and scenario planning
Strong accounting foundation, with the ability to review detailed accounting work, understand transaction-level data, and maintain high standards of financial control
