Activating networks through media reach. Filling positions through an operator's lens.
A boutique recruiting firm placing manager, director, and VP-level finance and accounting pros — built on top of the largest media platform for current and aspiring CFOs.
You help everyone else hire — set the headcount plan, defend the comp bands, sit in every offer review. Then when it's time to fill your own controller seat, the TA team is buried in engineering reqs and your role gets a generalist with a stack of mismatched resumes.
Finance roles are infrequent and specialized. They don't fit the standard recruiting playbook. So they sit open. Or worse, they get filled with the wrong person.
We only work on finance and accounting roles at the manager, director, and VP levels. We've been the FP&A leader. We've been the talent partner. We've sat on both sides of every conversation in the process.
And because we're built on top of the largest media platform for finance leaders, we don't have a cold start problem. The pipeline already exists. We just turn the faucet on.
75,000 readers on Mostly Metrics. 50,000 monthly listeners on Run the Numbers. The exact people you're trying to hire already read us on weekends.
We've already vetted hundreds of candidates in a warm pool. When a role opens, we activate. We don't go fishing. And CJ sucks at golf.
We've worked these roles ourselves. We know the difference between an FP&A hire and a Controller hire, and what makes someone great at each.
CJ has served in FP&A, IR, Treasury, and Strategic Finance roles on his path to CFO, and has hired for all of them. Callie ran recruiting at HubSpot, Snyk, Formlabs, and Grammarly.
We don't replace your TA function. We extend it. One point of contact, one process, one consistent candidate experience.
Manager, Director, and VP roles. That's it. We're not trying to be everything to everyone.
Nuff said.
We run retained searches because that's the model that produces the right outcome. When we get paid no matter what, we own the process end-to-end. No ghosting. No four other recruiters racing us to the same listing. No flooding your inbox with dog walkers for your controller seat.
We earn the fee by doing the work right. We design the interview loop with you, run point on every candidate conversation, and stick with the search until it's done.
Pricing is one flat percentage of first-year cash comp, paid across three milestones. No surprises. No hidden multipliers.
I write Mostly Metrics, the largest newsletter for current and aspiring CFOs, and host Run the Numbers, the #1 podcast for finance leaders.
I've served in FP&A, IR, Treasury, and Strategic Finance roles on my path to CFO. Which means I've hired for all the roles you may need to fill.
Callie has run recruiting teams at hypergrowth tech companies for the past decade. She knows what it takes to double headcount in a year without breaking the team — and what to look for in a candidate who's actually going to perform versus interview well.
She's the talent operator. I'm the finance operator. The combination is what makes this work.
Whether you're trying to fill a seat or find your next one — we'd love to hear from you.
