Financial Officers
Proven access to top-tier talent that goes beyond the numbers

Senior financial positions have evolved from primarily technical functions to multifaceted roles that place them at the forefront of organizations. Increasingly, CFOs and finance executives are responsible for key corporate initiatives such as business transformation and sustainability, relied upon for their leadership as much as their deep-dive financial insights.

We understand the growing influence of financial officers in a rapidly changing world. Our globally connected team places hundreds of C-level candidates annually, fully leveraging our deep expertise across industries and functions. Combining unmatched relationships with proprietary data tools and consulting services focusing on areas such as CEO succession and team acceleration, we have a proven ability to assess and develop talent capable of leading from the very top.

Our team’s expertise spans all core areas of finance leadership, including:

Corporate and divisional CFO
Full finance team assessment, build-out, and development
Controllership and accounting
Audit and risk management
Treasury
Tax
Corporate development, M&A
Investor relations
Financial planning and analysis
Shared services (functional/multi-functional)

The CFO's Route to the Top
Increasingly, CFOs are expected to operate as deputy-CEOs, making the role more critical, particularly in the CEO succession process.
