Placement Success

The Challenge

A portfolio company's Controller resigned unexpectedly with two weeks notice during a critical audit period. The CFO needed a qualified replacement — ideally with Big 4 background — before the books closed for the quarter.

Our Approach

We activated our network of passive finance professionals immediately, targeting candidates with public accounting backgrounds who had transitioned to industry roles. We screened 14 candidates in 48 hours and delivered a shortlist of 3 highly qualified Controllers.

The Result

The client hired their first-choice candidate within 8 days of initial contact. The new Controller closed the quarter without issue and has since been promoted to VP of Finance. This placement is still active 3 years later.

The Challenge

A Series B SaaS company needed their first senior finance leader — someone who could build the function from scratch, prep for a Series C fundraise, and eventually grow into the CFO role.

Our Approach

We focused on candidates with "builder" profiles — finance leaders who had scaled functions at high-growth companies and had experience with VC relationships. We also counseled the founding team on competitive compensation and equity structure for this level of hire.

The Result

The company hired a VP of Finance with 12 years of high-growth experience. Within 18 months, he led a successful Series C raise of $40M. He remains with the company today as CFO.
