Private equity recruiters for funds & portfolio companies.

We place operating talent at PE firms and senior finance leadership at PE-backed portfolio companies — diligence professionals, operating associates, and the CFOs who drive post-acquisition value creation.

The Discipline

Private equity recruiting built for the pace and stakes of PE.

PE hiring is unforgiving: the wrong operating or finance leader shows up in the next quarterly board deck. Our founder supported acquisition and diligence work on an investment bank's internal team, so we understand what a sponsor actually needs from a portfolio CFO or operating associate on day one.

We recruit operating roles inside PE firms and senior finance leadership across PE-backed portfolio companies — spanning diligence, value creation, and the finance function of middle-market and growth-stage businesses.

Roles We Place

From diligence to the portfolio C-suite.

Operating Associates

Value-creation operators who work hands-on across the portfolio post-close.

Diligence Services

Transaction diligence professionals assessing targets pre-acquisition.

Portfolio CFOs

Finance chiefs who steer PE-backed companies through the hold period.

VPs of Finance

Senior finance leaders building reporting and controls at growing portcos.

FP&A Leaders

Planning and analysis leaders translating the value-creation plan into numbers.

Why use a specialist recruiter for PE and portfolio-company hires?
PE hiring is unforgiving — a weak operating or finance leader shows up in the next board deck. Our founder supported acquisition and diligence work on a bank’s internal team, so we understand what a sponsor needs from a hire on day one.
Do you recruit for both the fund and its portfolio companies?
Yes. We handle operating and diligence roles inside the fund as well as CFO and finance leadership searches across the portfolio.
