WHAT WE DO

CFO EXECUTIVE SEARCH
Retained search for permanent CFOs across high-growth, PE and VC backed, and mid market corporates. We identify finance leaders with the commercial instinct, board presence, and transactional experience to shape the next chapter of value creation.
CFO-1 RECRUITMENT
Placing the number two in finance and beyond. Heads of Finance, Head of M&A, Financial Controllers, Group Financial Controllers and Finance Managers who operationalise and execute the CFO agenda within PE and VC-backed businesses. The successors, the systems builders, and the trusted lieutenants behind every strong finance function.
FRACTIONAL CFO & INTERIM SUPPORT
Part-time, embedded CFO expertise for scaling businesses not yet ready for a full-time hire, and senior finance leaders deployed at pace for transformation projects. Board-grade financial leadership on a flexible engagement model, whether you need strategic continuity or immediate impact navigating M&A, restructuring, or unexpected leadership gaps.
AI & DATA ANALYTICS
Specialist search for finance leaders fluent in AI, automation, and data-driven decision-making. From Heads of FP&A leveraging machine learning to Chief Data Officers shaping enterprise analytics — the talent reshaping how modern finance functions create value.
HOW WE WORK
Four commitments to every client.
MANDATE-LED SEARCH
Every engagement begins with a structured intake briefing, we then develop the market map & competency model, understand the succession context, and board expectations, before a single name is approached.
ABSOLUTE DISCRETION
Confidential searches are our default. We protect both client identity and candidate situations with the rigour expected by listed and PE-backed boards.
PARTNER-LED DELIVERY
A founding Partner leads every search end-to-end. No hand-offs to junior researchers running point. The person you brief is the person doing the work.
PREDICTIBLE CADENCE
Based on the detailed brief we develop a mutually agreed timeline for each mandate with agreed milestones.
Every search. Every time.
