Has anyone transitioned to CFO/COO type of role of small investment fund (PE, Venture Capital, etc)? Received a message from a recruiter, im curious how to position our experience and how best to cover the gaps in direct experience the role ultimately calls for (e.g. we've never been responsible for monthly close process being in client service)

Honestly the recruiter is probably just fishing for alternatives. It's hard to make that jump with no supervision and without a personal connection.
