Private Equity Executive Search for Senior Finance Leaders

Private Equity

At PeakPitch, we understand the unique challenges private equity firms face when securing a CFO and other critical finance leaders for their portfolio companies. As a boutique private equity executive search partner, we work closely with lower- to mid-market PE firms, LPs, and co-investors across all industries to identify proven financial leadership that can accelerate value creation. We take pride in being an integral part of your “Playbook,” recognizing how essential it is to have the right CFO, Controller, or senior finance executive in place to support operational scale, drive performance, and deliver on your strategic objectives.

What sets us apart: 

  • Sensitive Transitions: We understand the delicate dynamics between management teams and new ownership, ensuring smooth transitions and strategic alignment.
  • Quick Turnarounds: We recognize that certain leadership searches require rapid execution to fill key roles, and we specialize in delivering results within tight timelines.
  • Confidentiality First: We are deeply committed to confidentiality, carefully vetting our network and market to ensure the best candidates are identified discreetly.
  • Commitment to Your Priorities: We specialize in lower to mid-market searches with no minimum fee requirement, ensuring that your search remains our top priority. Whether you’re filling a leadership role post-acquisition or preparing for a confidential placement within a portfolio company, our executive search services are customized to identify leaders who will drive value and align with your exit strategy.

Our Process

Our consultative approach begins with a comprehensive assessment of both the portfolio company and the investor’s exit strategy. We focus on identifying key financial management roles essential for growth and value creation, conducting a search that prioritizes alignment with the firm’s objectives. From evaluating candidates for cultural fit to ensuring they have the skills to drive results, we customize each search to meet the unique needs of the firm and its portfolio company. This ensures the leadership we place supports both immediate goals and long-term success.

  • Chief Financial Officer (CFO)
  • Senior Finance Leadership Roles (e.g., CAO, VP of Finance, VP of Controller, Director of Accounting)
  • Specialized Finance Roles in Private Equity (e.g., Partner/Managing Director, Principal/Director, Vice President)
