Finance roles

The finance leaders we place.

  • Chief Financial Officer

    Strategic CFOs for owner-led, private equity-backed and public companies.

  • VP of Finance

    Operators who build forecasting, reporting and controls ahead of growth.

  • Controller

    Corporate and plant controllers who close fast and get the numbers right.

  • FP&A leadership

    Directors of FP&A who turn data into decisions for the CEO and board.

What makes a CFO search different

A CFO is hired for the next chapter of the business, not the last one. Before we source anyone we align with the CEO, board or sponsor on that chapter: a capital raise, an acquisition program, an ERP rollout, a turnaround, or an exit. That defines the profile, and it's why our CFO searches start with stakeholder interviews rather than a job description.

Industrial finance depth

Many of our finance searches are for manufacturers and engineering-led companies, where a CFO needs to understand plant economics, standard costing, inventory and capital projects as well as the balance sheet. Our partners have recruited in those environments for years.

Process

We follow the same four-step process on every search: Initiate, Identify, Qualify, Select, with a qualified slate in week three. See our process.

FAQ

Questions we hear most

  • We present a qualified slate in week three and move to finalist meetings from week four. Most CFO searches close within a few months.
