Financial Leadership and Accountancy Executive Search Specialists
Financial Leadership
At Novo Executive Search we have a dedicated Financial Leadership team. We are executive head hunters specialising in exceptional senior finance appointments. These include Chief Financial Officers, Finance Directors and Financial Controllers.
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.
A proactive executive search approach is the only way to secure the appointment of the very best finance leaders, possessing the skills and experience needed to help achieve the strategic goals unique to any company or organisation.
Novo’s Financial Leadership team works to understand the strategic goals and commercial challenges of its clients, to help identify the ideal professional profile needed and to manage the executive search for that individual. We commit to partnering our clients until the successful appointment of the best possible finance leader.
