Permanent Placement and Executive Search

Over the past 15 years, the professionals who now comprise Hardesty LLC have recruited and placed over 1000 CFOs.  Our years of experience deploying financial management talent and our extensive network allow us to quickly identify and recommend high performance candidates for permanent placement.

Hardesty LLC Executive Search is distinguished by our understanding of the CFO placement process, our access to talent, our flexible approach and our on-going support of the candidates we place.

Our understanding of the requirements of the CFO role is unmatched.  We believe that we are the largest CFO partnership in North America, and our professionals have placed more CFOs in a variety of situations that any other organization.  As experienced CFOs ourselves, we understand that the qualities and diverse skill sets that will make a person successful in the CFO role vary depending on your size, ownership structure, stage of growth, corporate culture and many other variables.  

We know many CFOs.  Over the years we have met, interviewed and built a database of over 15,000 CFOs.   That’s our starting point.  We have a highly experienced research team who focus on sourcing CFOs.  Given the specific requirements for your search, we are able develop quickly a short list of highly qualified candidates who are local, or from around the world.

When client’s needs are immediate, we have professional interim CFOs who are ready to start now.  When appropriate, we have placed an interim CFO while the executive search is in process.  In other cases, we have placed a professional CFO on an interim to hire basis.  We will deliver whatever service configuration best suits your needs, with value-driven pricing.

Finally, because we are a professional CFO services firm, and unlike any other executive search firm, all CFOs whom we place are invited to participate in Hardesty’s on-going knowledge sharing and training program.  Hardesty Partners actively help each other resolve technical issues, and open doors to key funding sources and problem solvers.  When we place a permanent CFO with your firm, that individual is not only provided access, at no additional fee, but encouraged to reach out to our partners and networks, so that Hardesty can continue to provide on-going value to you.
