Built for finance leaders, not generalists

FAC Partners is a finance and accounting search firm. The recruiters on every search have spent their careers in this function, know the comp picture, and read the same trade press your CFO reads.

i.

Specialised

Every consultant is a finance specialist. We do not run generalist desks. Your CFO search is run by a CFO recruiter.

ii.

Disciplined

Every engagement runs to a written research plan with weekly status reports. You always know what has been done.

The four stages of a FAC engagement

Each stage produces a written deliverable. You always know what has been done, what is next, and where the search stands.

i.

Kickoff

A working session with the hiring principal. Mandate, comp, must-haves, and a written research plan.

ii.

Research

Target list of companies and candidates. Approaches made personally by the partner on the file.

iii.

Slate

A slate of three to five candidates, fully assessed, salary-aligned, references already on file.

iv.

Close

Offer, counter-offer, resignation, and onboarding managed end-to-end through to start date.

Why employers retain us

FAC Partners was built around one idea: a senior finance search deserves the same level of rigor your finance function brings to a quarterly close. Numbers checked, sources documented, conclusions defensible.

That shows up in how every engagement runs. The mandate is written, the research plan is written, the weekly reports are written. The candidates we present each come with a written assessment against the search criteria. References are taken in writing. Compensation expectations are confirmed before introduction.

One named partner, start to finish

The partner who takes your kickoff meeting is the partner who calls you with offer outcomes. Same person on every status call, every candidate debrief, every comp negotiation. One consultant per client.

Direct-hire only

FAC Partners places permanent finance and accounting leaders. Every search is briefed for a multi-year tenure, every reference is taken with that lens, and every offer is structured for a clean start and a long stay.
