Don Hillier, CEO of Harvest CFO states, “for each placement, our goal is to maximize the upside value while at the same time minimizing the downside risk for the company’s financial leadership role. We consistently achieve this goal through our highly efficient end-to-end process which begins with properly defining the skills and attributes needed for success for the company’s specific role based on the vision of the leadership team and PE firm – ‘building the blueprint for success.’ Through this process, we create a very tight ‘spec’ that is used for our exhaustive research and sourcing to target highly qualified prospects, and through every aspect of our rigorous due diligence to identify those candidates who truly stand out from the pack as being ‘Spot on’ and ‘Spotless’ for the role. ‘Spot on’ as to very relevant industry experience, skillset and functional requirements, chemistry and intellectual fit with the executive team and cultural fit with the company. ‘Spotless’ as to personal integrity and professional success. Harvest CFO also requires that candidates have prior successful PE portfolio company or similar experience to be considered. We strive to fill all our roles with highly skilled individuals from the local geographic market – which greatly improves the probability of a great cultural fit. Our nontraditional economic model creates real partnership with our PE clients. At the end of the day, PE firms are investing in the management team’s ability to execute successfully on the strategic plan. We work very hard to deliver the right ‘A Player’ financial leaders who partner with their management teams and their PE firms to deliver the highest value.”
