Big name search firm or specialist boutique. Which one actually delivers when you’re hiring a CFO?

Big-name search firm or specialist boutique — which one actually delivers when you’re hiring a CFO?

Top-tier firms have brand power, big databases, and polished decks. But here’s the catch — they’re often slow, generic, and the work gets handed off to junior teams.

You get the logo — not the brain.

Boutique firms? We go deep.

– Niche expertise

– Faster shortlists

– Direct access to experienced partners

– And a tailored approach founders actually value

We’re not chasing volume. We’re backing outcomes.

And reach?

The best candidates don’t sit in a database — they answer calls from people they trust.

That’s not scale. That’s relevance.

At Pitch Hill Partners, we specialise in finance leadership for growth businesses.

If you’re hiring and want sharp insight, not a sales pitch — let’s talk.
