Every owner-managed business has its own unique culture. We recognize that fitting in with our clients’ culture is a big part of the search process. We’ve interviewed hundreds of CFOs and VPs of Finance over the years and are uniquely able to identify the candidates that will thrive in your particular culture.
Our knowledge of the financial executive market and proprietary search protocols give us the ability to produce results quickly. In most cases, our clients can start interviewing excellent candidates within three weeks.

This is the template of all the technical qualifications, experience and personality traits that you want in your new CFO.
We map out all the possible candidates that might fit the preferred candidate profile.
We’ll reach out to between 100 and 300 potential candidates on your behalf.
We’ll show you a candidate early in the search who we feel fits your technical and personality profile, to make sure we’re all on the same page.
If you like what you see, we’ll find three or four more candidates like the benchmark. If you want to make adjustments to the candidate profile, now’s the time.
We’ll interview between fifteen and twenty-five potential candidates.
We present the best four or five candidates out of the twenty or so we interviewed.
After you meet the full short list, you pick the two you’d like to take to the next stage.
This is where you have any other stakeholders, if any, interview the final one or two candidates.
We work with you and the candidate to lay the groundwork for all parts of the offer.
Expect your new hire to give three weeks to a month’s notice.
