How To Hire A CFO

February 16, 2025

Having placed hundreds of finance leaders over the last two decades we have seen first-hand how the CFO role has rapidly evolved beyond the traditional areas of control, governance and reporting.

Ideally, hiring a CFO isn’t something businesses need to do very often. However it’s precisely because of this that many of our clients seek our support, not just to source the best candidates available on the market, but to also advise them on the recruitment process.

This step by step guide to hiring a CFO is the culmination of our knowledge and experience and is a great starting point for general guidance. However we appreciate that each business is unique, and has a specific set of needs - so if you would like additional advice and support in regards to hiring for senior finance roles contact Tracy Flowerday to arrange a meeting.
