Los Angeles Accounting & Finance Executive Search — Powered by True Headhunting

Los Angeles is one of the most competitive markets for finance leadership. We specialize exclusively in Accounting & Finance executive search, combining long-term relationships with proactive headhunting. We don't rely on job boards or wait for applications — we go find the leaders you need.

How Our Los Angeles Executive Search Works

Most recruiting firms post jobs and wait. Retained firms charge large upfront fees with no guarantee of results. Our approach is different: we proactively headhunt finance leaders who aren't actively looking — the high performers your competitors can't reach through traditional recruiting channels.

With decades of deep relationships across Southern California's finance community, we identify and engage professionals who are the right fit for your specific role, culture, and growth trajectory. Our proprietary methodology and technology investment means we move faster and more precisely than generalist firms.

  • What industries do you specialize in for Los Angeles-based finance roles?
    In Los Angeles, we recruit across entertainment, real estate, technology, consumer products, manufacturing, and financial services. We understand how industry dynamics and ownership models shape the finance talent required. Our specialized approach means we already know top talent in each sector and what skillsets are transferrable to which specific industry.
  • How do you find passive Accounting & Finance candidates in Southern California?
    Our headhunting model focuses on long-term relationships — not job boards. We track professionals by career arc, system expertise, and business outcomes across our regional markets. This gives us access to candidates not actively on the market but open to the right opportunity. Learn more about maximizing your collaboration with recruiters.
  • Do you support PE-backed companies in Los Angeles?
    Yes. We have deep experience working with portfolio companies across Southern California — especially when they need to upgrade finance leadership post-acquisition or scale into systems and controls. Our placements frequently include CFOs, Controllers, FP&A leaders, and post-M&A integration talent. View examples of our successful executive placements in similar environments.
  • Do you recruit for public and private companies, or just investor-backed ones?
    We recruit for public companies, family-owned businesses, and capital-backed firms alike. Our specialization in Accounting and Finance allows us to tailor the search to your business model, maturity, and industry — not just your ownership structure. If you're interested in working with us, learn about our hiring process.
  • What if we need NetSuite, SAP, or Oracle experience in a hire?
    We routinely place professionals with deep ERP and financial systems expertise, including NetSuite, SAP, Oracle, Workday, BlackLine, and Sage MAS500. This includes hiring for systems implementation, post-acquisition integration, and reporting automation in Southern California businesses.
  • Do you handle remote or hybrid roles in the LA area?
    Yes. We recruit for onsite, hybrid, and remote positions. Many candidates in the LA region consider commute patterns from areas like Pasadena, South Bay, or Orange County — so we align your location strategy with your ideal talent pool.
