If you are considering appointing Equity FD, I strongly recommend that you prepare to be challenged. I thought that we had a tight brief on the way in, but Equity FD challenged every aspect of our initial thinking, which resulted in a pin-sharp brief followed by a speedy appointment of a Group FD.

If you are ready to be challenged and want to move quickly, I would recommend Equity FD without hesitation.

When Amberjack needed a new CFO, I naturally turned to EquityFD based on my long standing relationship with them over a number of years. As Chairman, I was keen to ensure that we appointed a CFO that could operate effectively in a PE-backed business and able to bring the required technology and understanding to a rapidly growing SaaS business with a blue-chip client base.

Based on my experience of working with EquityFD in the past, I was confident that EquityFD could once again deliver against this mandate. Our CFO has now been with us for just over 3 months, has hit the ground running and is already making a significant impact.

I am grateful to Joanna at EquityFD for producing a quality shortlist and, ultimately, an excellent candidate that has worked out so well.

Sarah, Joanna, Paul and Ray worked together to source us a great CFO, his number two, and an interim solution to cover the new Financial Controller’s notice period. They clearly understood our requirements as a PE owned business and matched the culture and dynamic of our management team perfectly with the candidates they presented for each of the roles.

I would recommend EquityFD and its sister businesses, EquityFC and Equityinterim as they really did work as team to ensure that we were looked after well across all processes .

I founded and run a leading edge platform business and adding the right CFO was always going to be a critical hire.

I worked with Robert Draper at EquityFD who pinpointed a candidate with just the right mix of commercial and operational experience and a very relevant tech background .

A real pleasure to work with equityfd. Sensible, pragmatic advice and pushback when needed underline an approach which delivered results quickly and with a minimum of pain.

 

I was introduced to EquityFD by an investor in my fast growth tech business. I needed to hire an FD but initially  I wasn’t sure about the exact  profile of the  person  I required. Sar ah and Robert  worked with me over a period of time to help to  iterate the spec and the person fit and introduced me to  a range of candidates . I have now taken on a new FD and he is proving to be a great asset to me and the business . This hire was born out of a thorough, intelligent and reflective process and enabled me to make a certain and informed decision.

I worked with Robert at EquityFD to source a new CFO for the exciting, VC backed sports nutrition business I run.

Robert stuck to the brief and we worked together through a detailed process, hiring both an interim and then a permanent addition to the team.

We turned to Equity FD to help us find someone to come in and help us for a specific project for a few months. They found two great candidates very quickly and took the time to really understand what we were looking for, both in terms of skills and personality.

I was referred to EquityFD by Patrick Dunne, our Chairman. We were looking for a CFO to join D3O, an exciting private equity backed technology business where I am CEO . 

Equity FD were quick to grasp our needs for the role and delivered a range of high calibre candidates that met both our financial experience requirements and cultural fit. 

We made an excellent hire and the whole process ran smoothly and to time

I was referred to EquityFD by our  investors when I was in the market for a new CFO.

Joanna got straight to it and I have hired a really terrific addition to my senior team.
