From Accounting Managers to Chief Financial Officers, Haussmann Executive Search supports finance functions across their structuring, performance management and transformation challenges. We work with listed groups, international mid-sized companies, French subsidiaries of international groups, portfolio companies backed by investment funds, family-owned businesses, high-growth scale-ups and financial institutions. Our longstanding sector expertise in real estate, finance, infrastructure and energy gives us particular depth in these industries, where finance functions face highly specific technical challenges such as property accounting, asset valuation, structured financing and regulatory requirements.
Recruiting a CFO for a listed group is fundamentally different from recruiting a CFO for an LBO-backed company or a hypergrowth scale-up. The first is focused on financial communications, IFRS and investor relations. The second is centred on cash generation, value creation and preparing for exit. The third is responsible for structuring processes, fundraising and international scaling. This diversity requires an assessment that goes far beyond reading a CV and verifying apparent experience.
