Finance leadership hiring for the US

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

The senior India finance hire for a US company is usually a controller who can satisfy the parent's auditors while building a team from nothing. We run confidential, research-led searches for the controller who owns the close, the finance head in the leadership meeting and the CFO the board has to trust.

How we work

A market map before a shortlist.

Senior searches go wrong at the brief, not at the interview.

We map the US-facing finance pool first: which GCCs and audit practices hold controllers with close experience, and what they earn. Then we present four or five people 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. We do not name your company to a candidate until they have signed an NDA.

Do you assess beyond the interview?

Each shortlisted candidate gets a written assessment against your brief, including their US GAAP close experience, and references on request.

Do you find candidates with US GAAP and SOX experience?

Yes. The pool sits mainly in US-headquartered GCCs and Big Four audit practices in Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Gurugram.

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.
