Travis Neuscheler

Travis Neuscheler is CFO and CCO of Northlane Capital Partners, a Bethesda-based middle-market private equity firm focused on healthcare and business services. Northlane’s team profile says he joined the firm in 2019 as Controller and now lists him as CFO and CCO.

Before Northlane, Neuscheler worked at Ernst & Young. His Northlane bio states that he was a Manager in EY’s Transaction Advisory Services practice and, before that, a Senior Associate in EY’s Financial Services Office audit practice.

Neuscheler earned a Master of Science in Accounting from the Carroll School of Management at Boston College and a Bachelor of Accountancy from The George Washington University School of Business. His role appears to be finance, compliance, and firm operations rather than front-line deal origination; public Northlane portfolio pages do not list him as a related deal team member on individual investments.
