Beauty CFO & Finance Executive Search

Norman Consultants recruits Chief Financial Officers and senior finance leaders for beauty and personal care businesses — the executives who pair financial discipline with the commercial partnership a growth brand needs.

The mandate

The beauty finance mandate

Finance in beauty is a commercial role as much as a control one. The CFO owns reporting, controls, and capital, but also gross-margin discipline in a category of heavy marketing investment, the economics of launches and channels, and — for the many beauty businesses with private-equity or strategic backing — the relationship with investors and the path to a transaction. It is finance leadership that has to be as fluent in brand-building as in the numbers.

We recruit finance leaders who can strengthen control and reporting, sharpen margin and commercial decision-making, and act as a credible partner to founders, boards, and investors through growth and transaction.
