Middle-Market Business Owners
PeakPitch partners with middle-market business owners to deliver retained executive search for senior finance and accounting leadership within privately held companies.
Owner-led businesses reach inflection points where financial complexity increases faster than systems and leadership capacity.
At these stages, the right finance leadership enables better decisions, stronger controls, and long term value without disrupting culture or owner control.
Middle-market businesses operate under a different set of pressures than large enterprises or sponsor-driven companies.
Finance leadership in these environments must balance hands-on execution with owner-level judgment.
The finance leaders we place are experienced in owner-led environments where judgment, trust, and execution matter most.
Our searches focus exclusively on leaders who thrive in owner-driven environments.
PeakPitch conducts retained executive search for permanent senior finance and accounting leadership roles.
Our work focuses exclusively on permanent finance leadership whose judgment and execution materially affect outcomes in owner-led, middle-market businesses.
All PeakPitch engagements are conducted on a retained executive search basis, allowing for focus, discretion, and alignment with owner priorities.
For owner-led businesses, this model provides clarity and control at moments when leadership decisions carry lasting consequences.
What Sets Us Apart?
We understand the complexity of leadership changes and their impact on both management and staff. Our approach preserves culture while ensuring alignment for future growth.
Some searches require speed without sacrificing quality. We deliver qualified candidates quickly and decisively when timing matters.
Discretion is central to our process. Careful outreach and rigorous vetting protect both the search and the organization.
Every search receives senior-level attention, with no minimum fee thresholds or competing priorities.
Business owners engage PeakPitch when finance leadership decisions carry lasting consequences.
We work directly with ownership to ensure finance leadership aligns with the company’s direction and long-term objectives
It’s an important question and one we encourage every business owner to ask. We begin each relationship with an initial consultation to understand your business, objectives, and timing. PeakPitch is selective about the searches we take on. If we believe the timing or circumstances are not right, we will say so and may recommend alternative approaches. Much like a trusted investment bank, we invest time upfront to build relationships, with the goal of partnering when the conditions are right for a critical leadership hire. Our focus is long-term value, not simply filling a role.
