Senior finance leadership moves in Australia span CFO, VP Finance, Head of Finance, Finance Director and Financial Controller roles, and are usually run discreetly. At executive level the right move is rarely the loudest, so alignment matters more than speed.
Discreet, relationship-led, long-term
At executive level, the right move is rarely the loudest one. Our approach here is discreet and relationship-led, focused on long-term alignment so that any opportunity reflects your leadership experience, your values and where you want to take your career. Confidentiality is the default, not an add-on.

Common questions
How do recruiters find senior finance leaders who are not applying?
With Boolean keyword and skill searches on LinkedIn, built from the client's shopping list of five or so technical requirements. A profile carrying all of those terms a couple of times over surfaces on page one and gets contacted first, two or three of them lands around pages five to ten, and none of them is effectively invisible. At executive level, where most moves start off-market, that search is often the only door into the conversation.
Does my LinkedIn profile matter more than my CV?
For discovery, yes. A CV is only seen by the people you send it to, which is five to twenty on a good week. An optimised profile can be viewed by hundreds of recruiters, internal talent teams and hiring managers in the same period. Load the headline, About, Experience and Skills sections with the technical language of the roles you want, because that is what a search actually matches on.
Do you handle executive roles discreetly?
Yes. Confidentiality and discretion are essential at senior and executive level, and they are how we work by default.
What types of executive roles do you recruit for?
We partner across CFO, VP and SVP Finance, Head of Finance, Finance Director and Financial Controller mandates in high-growth and founder-led businesses.
I am not actively looking. Is it still worth a conversation?
Yes. Many of the best executive moves start as a quiet, off-market conversation well before a formal process. We are happy to keep in touch.
