CFO Headhunting Services

We have seen the evolution of the CFO and FD role – a shift from a traditional budgeter and forecaster to a strategic leader. Financial leaders are now often expected to be proactive change enablers that support the CEO or MD in the pursuit of ambitious plans for growth or transformation.

We help appoint CFOs and FDs that have vast experience across a multitude of companies and organisations from start-ups, scale-ups, SMEs and larger corporates as well as public sector and charitable organisations. They have delivered a variety of objectives from building finance functions, managing turnarounds, strengthening and positioning companies for mergers, acquisitions, flotations, buy-outs and working with private equity or venture capital investors.
