Once your organization has reached a certain size and complexity, the best investment is finding a full-time CFO that will help drive long-term success and stability for the business. Having a dedicated, in-house CFO provides the necessary leadership, expertise, and continuity to manage the organization's financial affairs effectively.

CFO executive search is a common and effective way for private equity to outsource talent sourcing to firms who specialize in identifying talent that matches specific portfolio company circumstances. Private equity groups that have a relationship with a search firm can quickly recruit high quality talent at a fraction of the speed with objectivity and better resource efficiency.

Many companies call executive search firms when there is an anticipated departure of the current CFO for any reason. The unique value-add of McCracken is that we can supply a temporary CFO solution when needed while the full-time hire is identified. Because of our network of consulting CFO partners, we can identify available talent quicker than a traditional search process can offer. Other, more traditional search firms can take up to 6 months or more to find the right candidate with no immediate interim solution.

Assessing the capabilities of CFO candidates requires years of specialized focus on the role and responsibilities of the CFO across various industries. We are a firm comprised of executives who have served as CFOs and in professional services directly supporting finance organizations.
