Finance & Accounting Placement Success

Jan 6, 2021

ON Partners consultants completed high-level executive finance and accounting placements in 2020 for a wide range of organizations, including ARM Holdings, Crocs, Luminar Technologies, Papa John’s, and Shake Shack, among others.

Notes ON’s Joe Olson, “COVID-19 has exposed the massive gap between companies with strong finance leaders and those that have waited to build a proper set of controls. We are seeing a tremendous amount of activity within our private equity business and don’t expect this momentum to slow down anytime soon. Also, as businesses shift to a more distributed model, it’s opened up resource pools in other lower-cost geographies. The CFOs who have set up shared services will have a unique perspective on the continued evolution of a corporate workforce.”

“CFOs who think strategically like a GM or CEO are invaluable,” adds ON’s Lenny Vairo. ”Pivoting the business model, driving to adjacent markets or rationalizing underperforming work streams will be easier and more effective when the CFO is a collaborative leader.”
