From the first finance hire to CFO, we place finance leaders for software and tech businesses moving from product to scale.

Finance leaders who can build and scale

Tech businesses move fast, and the finance function has to keep pace without slowing the build. We place finance leaders who can set up clean foundations early, then grow into commercial partners to the founder as the company scales. We understand the founder vision and growth plan, and hire people who operate hands-on while thinking strategically.

What we focus on for tech clients

  • Understanding the founder vision and the growth plan behind the hire
  • Finance leaders who are hands-on early and strategic as you scale
  • Support through the early stages of scale, not just the placement
  • The reach to punch above your weight for talent in a competitive market

Common questions

When should a tech start-up make its first senior finance hire?

It depends on growth stage, funding and complexity. We work with founders to assess when a senior finance hire adds the most value, and what level of experience is right for the business right now.

Do you recruit for early-stage and founder-led tech businesses?

Yes. A large share of our work is the first finance hire and first CFO for founder-led and high-growth technology businesses.

Can you find finance leaders who grow with the business?

Yes. We screen for people who can operate hands-on now and step up into broader leadership as the company scales, so you are not re-hiring every funding round.
