Finance leadership hiring for the UAE

Finance Leadership Hiring for UAE companies.CFOs, controllers and finance heads.

Gulf finance leadership searches turn on group structure: several entities, several jurisdictions and a shareholder who wants one clean number. We run confidential searches for the controller who holds several entities together, the finance head who reports to the shareholder and the CFO the board has to trust.

Worth knowing

What a Gulf group needs from a finance leader.

Consolidation across entities, comfort with thin systems and the judgment to handle a shareholder directly. For relocation candidates the decision is a family one, so we test it before a shortlist exists.

How we work

A market map before a shortlist.

Group structure is the brief, so we agree it first.

Gulf searches start with group structure. We map which candidates have run several entities and jurisdictions, and what they earn, before anyone is approached. Four or five people reach you with written assessments.

How we run a search

Questions

Finance Leadership Hiring questions.

Is a leadership search retained or contingency?

Senior and confidential hires are retained, with a staged fee; specialist roles below that can run on contingency.

Can the search stay confidential?

Yes. A candidate hears the group's name only once an NDA is signed.

Do you assess beyond the interview?

Each shortlisted candidate gets a written assessment against your brief, including the group structures they have run, and references on request.

Can you run a confidential CFO search in the UAE?

Yes, and most are. We approach candidates without naming the group until an NDA is signed.

How are your fees structured?

A percentage of annual fixed pay for contingency, a staged fee for retained leadership search, and a monthly rate for dedicated team hiring, all agreed in writing before the search starts.
