Partner-led finance search, CFO leadership, and accounting

Permanent placement, plus fractional and interim CFOs, controllers, and the bookkeeping underneath them — for founder-led and PE-backed companies.

What we do

Six levels of service. Engage at any level, add others as the business needs them.

When companies call us

A CFO brought in too late

The books are behind and deadlines have been missed. Someone comes in, cleans it up, and gets you back to closing on time.

A CFO brought in too early

You are not ready to carry a full CFO salary, and the person you can afford is not the person you need. A part-time CFO gets you the judgment without the payroll.

A transaction or transition

A deal, a recap, or a CFO who just left. The work that follows is more than your finance team can absorb on top of their day jobs.

A search that needs runway

The search is under way, but a good hire takes months. Someone holds the seat so the quarter does not slip while you wait.

The deal outgrows the CFO

The job has outgrown the person in it, and replacing them is complicated. We can cover what is missing without forcing that decision yet.

Specialized complexity

Regulated reporting, complicated contracts, or an audit coming that needs someone who has done it before.
