Tom Agugliaro, Managing Partner
“I built ATG to be the firm I would have wanted to call when I was in finance.”
Working with clients across the United States, Tom Agugliaro is the founder and Managing Partner of ATG Partners. He leads the firm with a relentless focus on client and candidate service, backed by a deep expertise in accounting and finance.
Tom specializes in placing senior and mid-level finance and accounting professionals — CFOs, VPs of Finance, Controllers, and leaders across Tax, Audit, FP&A, Financial Reporting, Financial Systems, IT Finance, and Financial Services. He is a trusted advisor to CFOs and CEOs and is frequently sought out as a resource for complex hiring needs.
Tom began his career at General Electric before joining a Big Four accounting firm in capital markets, SEC consulting, and transaction services. He later worked on an investment bank's internal due diligence team, supporting acquisition and asset-based lending transactions — an unusual path that gives him fluency not just in the vocabulary of finance, but in the work itself.
Built on the belief that recruiting is a craft.
ATG Partners was founded on a simple conviction: successful executive search requires more than filling roles. It requires industry understanding, strong relationships, and a commitment to long-term outcomes most volume-driven firms can't deliver.
Connect exceptional finance professionals with companies where expertise and integrity align.
We partner with hiring leaders who need more than a recruiter — they need someone fluent in the work. With deep experience across ABL, private equity, accounting, and corporate finance, we bring insight and precision to every search, and a commitment to placements that hold up over time.
To be your trusted partner in finance recruiting — recognized for expertise, integrity, and lasting impact.
We aim to set the standard for thoughtful, relationship-driven search — helping companies build strong financial teams and supporting professionals through meaningful, long-term careers. Through deep specialization and a commitment to quality over volume, we create connections that drive sustainable success on both sides.
A three-step process. One standard of work.
Every engagement follows the same disciplined sequence — whether retained, engaged, or contingent. The model determines exclusivity and pace; the standard of work doesn't change.
Discovery & Alignment
We start by understanding your business, team structure, and specific hiring needs — aligning on requirements, expectations, and success metrics before any sourcing begins. This is where most recruiting relationships go wrong, and where ATG's engagements get their footing.
Targeted Search & Evaluation
Leveraging deep accounting and finance expertise, we identify and rigorously assess candidates with the technical skills, industry experience, and cultural fit to succeed in your environment. We're selective by mandate — the volume of presented candidates is never the metric.
Selection & Placement
We manage the interview process through offer and acceptance — ensuring a smooth, efficient experience and a placement built for long-term success. Engagements don't end at the start date. We measure success at the 12 and 24-month mark.
Work with a recruiter who speaks your language.
Whether you're scoping a leadership search or exploring a confidential move, the first conversation is direct and useful.
