CFO Selections Expands Financial-Consulting Services to Include Executive Search Capabilities
Two partners join firm to broaden services, scope
Bellevue, WA - CFO Selections, a financial services consultancy providing experienced chief financial officers in the Puget Sound region, announces expanded services with two new partners in an executive search and recruitment division.
Rich Leo and Mark Tranter, both seasoned search professionals, have joined CFO Selections to meet the growing business needs for recruiting senior-level finance and accounting talent. The new recruitment and search division launches a permanent search and recruiting practice that focuses on the Pacific Northwest but spans the nation to recruit the best available talent.
"I am extremely pleased that Rich Leo and Mark Tranter have joined the firm. They have more than 20 years of experience placing accounting and finance executives on a national scope," said Tom Varga, CFO Selections managing partner and founder. "Both Mark and Rich are executives at the top of their game when it comes to executive search and will be an integral part of moving CFO Selections forward."
Leo and Tranter have moved their practice in finance and accounting executive search from Paladin Partners, with which CFO Selections maintains a strategic relationship, to a new division that is an extension of the successful business model that provides CFO talent to clients in the Northwest. CFO Selections will continue to work with Paladin on
searches for CEO, COO, and other C-level executives while CFO Selections takes the lead on searches for CFO, controller and other senior accounting and finance positions.
"With the steadily improving economy fueling an amazing number of moves in the corporate finance world, more and more organizations themselves are in need of both interim and permanent financial guidance," said Mark Tranter. "In fact, it's a jungle out there. Scores of seasoned CFOs are now switching companies after playing it careful for the last several years while business was rebounding. The personal liability resulting from the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 is another reason they are moving to private companies from public corporations."
"Few businesses realize that it's possible to engage a first-rate CFOs to assist their firms during employment transitions," said Varga. "When a finance executive moves on, the company still needs the integrity, professionalism, and overall leadership of a CFO."
Our company is an outsourcing alternative to adding immediate staff or hiring an expensive accounting firm."
Services at CFO Selections range from fine-tuning cash management to mergers and acquisitions, CFO Selections recruits, screens, and places experienced CFOs who can provide the wealth of experience and perceptive analysis that is not normally available on an interim retainer basis. The CFO Selections team is a ready and reliable resource that provides services on an interim, part-time or extended project basis.
The advantage is that companies with fewer resources have immediate access to an experienced executive team member who can offer strategies and solutions that are not otherwise readily accessible. These strategic and operational financial consultants can therefore provide valuable mentoring based on relevant experience. CFO Selections consultants are handpicked for their strong operations backgrounds, multi-industry experience, cross-disciplinary skills, and an expressed affinity for working with private companies in the Northwest.
Services are specifically geared to businesses with limited existing senior financial expertise and to address growth and transition issues. They may include, but are not limited to:
- Financial operations, controls, and systems
- Profit improvement planning
- Cash-flow management and banking
- Business and strategic planning
- Staff coaching
- Permanent placement and executive search
