An honest review of the Top 5 CFO Search Firms in the U.K.

Written By Ray Nicholls


Thinking about hiring a CFO for your business? In this 60-second video, I give you an honest review of five of the top CFO executive search firms in the UK — their strengths, their focus, and where they might not be the best fit.

Whether you’re a founder, investor, or Chair, this quick breakdown will help you make an informed choice about which search partner is right for your company.

In this video, I review:

  • Odgers Berndtson – trusted for large corporate CFO searches

  • Savannah Group – polished and private equity focused

  • True Search – strong in VC and scale-ups

  • Erevena – agile and connected in the PE ecosystem

  • Finatal – fast and specialist in PE-backed finance hires

📌 Key Takeaway:
There’s no one-size-fits-all. The best search firm depends on your company’s stage, investor base, and budget.
