Senior Accounting Associate (m|f|x) Berlin

Private equity has always been a sought-after asset class due to its performance potential.

However, steep entry barriers, including high minimum investments (~€10m), hefty paperwork and the challenge of selecting the right fund have traditionally kept individual investors at bay, with access largely limited to big institutions or a select few. 

Enter Moonfare.

The diverse Moonfare team – which includes alumni from top private banks, groundbreaking startups and beyond – is united in pushing boundaries and redefining the private equity landscape.
