An Executive Search Firm Built by Operators
CFOPlacement was built because we couldn’t find a search partner who thought the way we do — one that understood the operational reality of a CFO search at an inflection point. So we built the firm we wished we could have hired.
We exist to close the gap between where you are and where you need to be
The quality of your CFO determines the quality of your company’s next chapter. We built CFOPlacement around this belief — and everything we do is designed to close that gap with precision and speed.
We are a subsidiary of Meridian Executive Search, a global practice with placement history across four continents and a track record of supporting companies through their most critical growth moments.
01
Operator‑Led
Our team has sat in the operator’s chair. We’ve built finance functions, navigated fundraises, and managed boards. That experience shapes every search we run.
02
CFO Only
We don’t dabble. We do one thing exclusively — CFO search. That singular focus means our methodology, network, and judgment are all calibrated to one type of hire.
03
Globally Networked
Our practice spans North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. If your business crosses borders, your search should too.
04
Deliberately Small
We cap our practice at 10–15 searches per year. Every client works directly with senior partners — not juniors executing a process.

Operator‑Led. Exclusively CFO. Globally Networked.
CFOPlacement is an operator‑led executive search firm built around a single belief: the quality of your CFO determines the quality of your company's next chapter. We exist to close that gap.
We run a deliberately small practice — 10 to 15 searches per year — so that every engagement receives our full attention. We do not take on work we are not confident we can complete. We do not present candidates we would not hire ourselves.

Five Reasons Clients Choose Us
We built CFOPlacement because we couldn’t find a search firm that thought the way we did. So we became one. Every engagement is run with operator‑level rigor, board‑level context, and an uncompromising focus on fit.
01
We’ve Made the Mistakes
Our team has operated inside companies at inflection points. We know what a bad CFO hire costs — not in theory, but from experience. That shapes everything about how we evaluate candidates.
02
We Know Both Sides of the Table
We’ve sat as founders, operators, and finance leaders. We understand what boards expect, what investors require, and what a CFO actually does on a Monday morning.
03
We Think Like Operators
We don’t evaluate candidates against job descriptions. We evaluate them against the specific operational context of your company — the mess, the complexity, and the ambition.
04
We Understand Cross‑Border Complexity
Our network spans North America, Europe, the Middle East, and emerging markets. If your business crosses borders, your CFO search should too.
05
We Move Fast
We run 10–15 searches per year by design. That keeps us focused, responsive, and deeply engaged with every client. You will never feel like a number.
