Why We Focus on Owner-Managed Businesses
Owner-managed businesses represent the backbone of the North American economy. These entrepreneurial organizations face unique challenges and opportunities that require financial leaders with specific qualities:
The Owner-Managed Difference
- •Direct Access to Ownership: CFOs and VP Finance professionals work closely with business owners on strategic decisions
- •Entrepreneurial Environment: Fast-paced, dynamic culture requiring adaptability and hands-on involvement
- •Growth Focus: Companies in expansion mode need financial leaders who can scale operations
- •Resource Optimization: Doing more with less and maximizing return on investment
- •Long-Term Perspective: Building sustainable businesses rather than short-term profit maximization
Not every talented CFO or VP Finance thrives in an owner-managed environment. We identify candidates who have demonstrated success in entrepreneurial settings and genuinely enjoy the collaborative, strategic partnership that owner-managed businesses require.
