Starrlight Advisory (“Starrlight” or “the Firm”), a dedicated financial advisory services firm providing Outsourced Chief Financial Officer (“OCFO”) and Outsourced Chief Compliance Officer (“OCCO”) offerings, today officially announced its launch.

Starrlight provides institutional caliber professional services to alternative investment firms in North America and Europe. The Firm, led by Founder and Manager Richard Schnuerer, consists of professionals with decades of blue-chip Limited Partner (“LP”) and General Partner (“GP”) experience. Starrlight provides a comprehensive and complimentary advisory offering to alternative investment managers, seamlessly integrating into their business operations to provide OCFO and OCCO solutions. Starrlight is headquartered in Nashville, with satellite offices in Chicago, Los Angeles and Raleigh.

“We created Starrlight to provide an elite OCFO and OCCO solutions platform dedicated to alternative investment firms’ evolution and development at a key time in the industry’s history,” remarked Richard Schnuerer, Founder and Manager of Starrlight. “GPs are currently trying to fill gaps in finance, operations, and compliance functions at a time where demand for their investment offerings is outpacing their ability to effectively attract and retain talent. By launching a unique advisory firm that can serve as OCFO and/or OCCO, we can help firms close this knowledge gap. Starrlight can immediately make a difference to our clients and partners by offering deep talent and high-quality service to support better decision-making.”

Starrlight’s pedigree makes the Firm a cost-effective and efficient partner for GPs that are newly launching, are aiming to institutionalize their CFO or CCO functions, or are navigating through a succession plan. The Starrlight team’s experience allows the Firm to immediately plug into situations and serve in a variety of capacities, including fully functioning as a firm’s OCFO and/or OCCO or working alongside and in concert with outside consultants and other firm counterparties. Starrlight can advise asset managers on complex matters including fund formations and business development, registering with and examinations by the SEC, fund audits, secondary offerings, tax compliance, underwriting and all other aspects of financial or compliance operations.

Starrlight’s value proposition for clients is distinct by offering both Chief Compliance Officer and Chief Financial Officer functions helping GPs minimize costs and mitigate the risk of issues arising from not having the right person in either role.

Starrlight’s Founder and Manager Richard Schnuerer has nearly two decades of alternative investment experience in leadership roles at GPs, LPs and professional services firms. He served as CFO & CCO of major GPs operating private equity, growth equity, venture capital, private credit, SBICs and hedge funds. Earlier in his career Mr. Schnuerer served as a due diligence professional at Merrill Lynch and was part of Deloitte’s investment management practice.

The team at Starrlight is made up of uniquely qualified professionals who each have deep experience in the financial services industry. Notably, every current member of the Firm is a certified public accountant (“CPA”) and possess significant experience in financial, tax, and compliance roles.
