what we do

Financial Leadership is a critical chess piece within an investor backed business. This is the executive role we understand best. 

Whether you’re embarking on a turnaround, raising capital for growth, scaling faster than budgeted for, or you have changed ownership structure, we will work with you to find your first or next CFO, FD or FC on a permanent or interim basis.

With over twenty years of experience placing CFOs, FDs and FCs into rapidly growing businesses, Pitch Hill Partners brings real value to your strategy with our rich, broad and established network of finance leaders.

Executive Search

Leadership requirements constantly change, but the need for high-performing finance executives remains the same. 

A thorough understanding of different industries, unrivalled access to senior finance executives and impeccable judgment set us apart. 

Interim Professionals

Your business might face a situation that is unfamiliar to you. It might require a skillset that you don’t currently have within your senior management team.

An interim hire is a valuable option for a focused, short-term piece of work. Our speed of response, quality of service and an open honest professional approach to each assignment is second to none.

It’s funny how the “back to school” feeling lasts well beyond your school days. After a summer hiatus, we get back into work mode with new energy, long to-do lists, and a fresh sense of optimism.
