Accounting and Finance Hiring Resources
Practical, research-backed resources for PE deal partners, CFOs, and CPA firm leaders. Written by someone who has been on your side of the table.
I am a CPA with a decade of senior finance experience inside PE-backed companies. I have done this work from the inside. Most finance recruiters have not. That changes how I run a search and who I can find for you.
These guides are completely free, no obligation. If something in one of them resonates and you want to talk, reach out.
Each guide is written specifically for its audience. Pick the one that fits where you sit.

Download the GuideI am a CPA and CVA who spent a decade in senior finance roles at PE-backed manufacturing companies before moving into executive search. I now recruit exclusively in accounting, finance, HR, administrative, and operations roles nationwide through Royal Search Group.
I built these guides because the conversations I have with PE sponsors, CFOs, and firm partners keep surfacing the same questions. This is the honest, research-backed version of those answers.
