Work With the Financial Recruiter
I place finance and accounting professionals, primarily in middle market companies, with a focus on Phoenix, AZ, San Diego, CA, and Los Angeles, CA. Core specialties include Finance/FP&A, Treasury, Investor Relations, Accounting, Risk, and Compliance.
Your Strategic Financial Recruiter
As a financial recruiter with a Wall Street and Equity Research background, I bring deep industry insight to every search. My work with Fortune 500 companies now fuels my mission: helping CFOs and senior leaders build top-performing teams in Finance, Accounting, Investor Relations, Risk, and Compliance.
Who I Work Best With
My sweet spot is partnering with small to mid-sized companies, particularly those ready to invest in a smarter, more strategic search process. I also work with large enterprises that value authenticity, partnership, and results over resume stacks. Top industry specialties include healthcare, banking, financial services, retail, restaurants, manufacturing, and real estate, but I work across all industries.
Why Work with Me?
- I’m a CFA and former Research Analyst: I speak the language of finance.
- I approach recruiting like I did equity research: with rigor, pattern recognition, and deep due diligence.
- I see what others miss in resumes, in personalities, in cultural alignment.
- I deliver where others fall short, often placing hard-to-find candidates others couldn’t reach.
More Than a Financial Recruiter:
A Career Strategist
I help companies find the kind of talent that lifts teams, and help professionals find careers that bring real satisfaction. Because in finance, performance starts with people.
