EXECUTIVE SEARCH: CFO, CFO-1, INTERIM & FRACTIONAL FINANCE SUPPORT

Regulatory Fintech Finance Leadership

Engineering may build the product, but it's the finance leadership that builds the foundation to scale a FinTech business. Finance leaders in FinTech must be both high-level thinkers and hands-on in execution. We work with founders, CFOs, and VCs to find finance talent that is equipped to navigate R&D-heavy environments, reimbursement-driven models, extended sales cycles, complex transaction volumes, and international growth across multi-entity structures.

Our FinTech candidates bring expertise in:

  • Managing financial compliance (FCA, PSD2, SOX, etc.)

  • Building and optimising complex revenue models

  • Forecasting under dynamic regulatory and market conditions

  • Supporting partnerships with banks, payment networks, and regulators

  • Implementing scalable finance systems

  • Leading board reporting, audits, and capital raises

  • Navigate international tax compliance and cross-border entity structuring

  • Identify and mitigate financial risks across credit, FX, liquidity, and operations

We partner with Fintech startups and scaleups to build finance teams that drive strategic growth, funding readiness, and financial compliance. We specialise in understanding the financial challenges unique to FinTech, and finding the leaders who can solve them.
