CFO Recruitment for Critical
Finance Leadership Hires

When your next CFO, Finance Director or senior finance leader needs more than a job advertisement, Byron Thomas maps the market and approaches proven leaders discreetly.

For Employers

Finance Leadership Search With Commercial Judgment

Senior finance appointments carry board, investor and operating risk. We focus on the leadership, judgement and cultural fit that rarely show clearly in a CV.

CFO and Finance Director Search

We help employers identify CFOs, Finance Directors and Heads of Finance who can lead reporting, strategy, governance and commercial decision-making.

Passive Talent Access

The strongest finance leaders are often not applying. We map relevant organisations, approach discreetly and protect your brief throughout the search.

Sydney Market Knowledge

Based in Parramatta and working across greater Sydney, we understand both CBD and Western Sydney employer markets.
