Key Takeaways

  • Eagle Rock is your ongoing finance team, handling accounting through FP&A every month
  • CFO Selections creates a full-time hire; Eagle Rock provides full-stack fractional coverage

What CFO Selections Does Well

CFO Selections is a finance and accounting executive search firm—they find, vet, and place full-time CFOs for companies that want to hire permanently. Their expertise is in matching businesses with CFO candidates for direct employment. Once the placement is made, their engagement ends. This model works well for companies committed to a full-time CFO hire who have the budget for permanent compensation (typically $200K-$400K+ annually plus benefits).
