CFO Selections Pricing

CFO Selections is an executive search firm specialized in placing CFOs and finance executives. They're fundamentally different from fractional CFO providers—you're not hiring a service, you're paying a finder fee to recruit a full-time or part-time CFO for your organization.

This model makes sense if you're looking to hire a permanent CFO (full-time or fractional) and want help finding the right candidate. But it's important to understand that you're paying for recruitment, not ongoing CFO services. Once the CFO is hired, your relationship with CFO Selections is typically complete.

CFO Selections typically charges a one-time finder fee of 15-20% of the CFO's annual compensation . For example, hiring a $200,000/year CFO would cost $30,000-$40,000 as a one-time placement fee. This is a one-time cost, not ongoing.

How CFO Selections Pricing Works

Understanding CFO Selections' pricing requires understanding their search firm model:

Unlike fractional CFO services that bill monthly, CFO Selections charges a single finder fee. You pay for the service of finding and vetting candidates, not for ongoing CFO work.

Key difference: You pay once, then pay the CFO separately

CFO Selections doesn't provide CFO services—they find people who will. Your ongoing cost is the CFO's compensation (salary + benefits + equity), not a monthly service fee.

Trade-off: More expensive long-term if you need fractional

The fee covers sourcing, vetting, and presenting qualified candidates. The firm has typically pre-screened candidates so you're seeing finance leaders who meet your requirements.

Value: Save time on sourcing and initial screening
