CFO Executive Search

Norman Consultants recruits Chief Financial Officers for consumer and private equity-backed businesses — finance leaders who own the numbers and the readiness for what's next.

The role

What a CFO owns

The CFO owns reporting, the capital structure, cash and covenant discipline, and — for sponsor-backed businesses — the readiness for refinancing or exit. The best consumer CFOs pair financial rigor with genuine commercial partnership and the ability to build a finance function that scales.
