While each financial officer search is unique, our goal is for the search to take three months. This will be dependent on the time of year and the type of role (e.g. launching a CFO search during earnings or a public company search versus a private company search). Our structured approach allows for thorough assessment while maintaining momentum. We understand the importance of finding the right financial officer efficiently, as prolonged vacancies in these critical roles can impact strategic initiatives.
