Flexible Leadership Solutions

Our business is based on providing clients with professional CFOs, controllers and other finance executives who deliver on The Hardesty Advantage.  Often our engagement starts when our clients need financial leadership immediately and simply cannot wait.

We specialize in placing professional finance executives in mission-critical positions on demand.  Working with public companies, private-equity portfolio companies and entrepreneurial organizations who need interim executives, we deliver finance professionals whose experience is matched to meet each client’s specific challenges and requirements.

Our partners, principals and associates may works as:

• Consultants on a project to restate the financials of an SEC reporting company
• An interim executive for a rapidly growing company preparing itself for a sale to a strategic buyer
• An employed client officer, preparing the company for an IPO and taking it public
• A team of professionals or a project leader

Our commitment may be full-time or part-time.  Flexible to meet client needs, but always focused 100% on building value for our client.

When our CFO partners are placed as officers of our clients, sometimes converting from interim roles, a unique feature of The Hardesty Advantage allows them to continue to benefit from sharing knowledge and networks with other partners.  Our clients find that hiring a Hardesty partner brings additional value to their organization.

Seasoned Executives: On Site. On Task.

In today’s marketplace, companies need exceptional talent, on demand, for interim placement and project assignments.  We provide on-demand, seasoned finance executives, with deep experience in financial, operational and administrative management, working through interim assignments, special projects and permanent employment.

When a client intends to hire a finance professional, some prefer to bring a Hardesty professional on board on an interim basis, and then convert the individual to an employee when both parties know each other better.  Other clients come to us to conduct an executive search; as we are recruiting and placing finance professional talent daily, we assess and deliver superior talent for permanent placements quickly.  We know this space; we know the key players.

Some Hardesty clients are seeking help with projects that require specialized expertise, such as financial department process improvement, preparing companies for sale, and optimizing capital structures.  We assist clients by providing executives or teams of professionals on a project basis, with flexible periods and terms matched to the scope and complexity of these assignments.

This is a sample of projects successfully completed by Hardesty professionals:

In conjunction with our GlassRatner strategic partnership we can bring a broad range of specialized advisory services to companies facing complex business problems and board level agenda items such as managing through a business crisis, bankruptcy or pursuing a fraud investigation or corporate litigation.
