February 2019 – Harvest CFO, a recognized premier executive recruiting firm solely focused on the financial leadership role (CFO, VP of Finance) for Private Equity portfolio and middle market companies across the U.S. and across industries, delivers the best value for permanent placements and also for interim CFO needs. Harvest CFO delivers best value by quickly providing the right interim CFO for the company’s specific needs and at a cost model that delivers high returns. Harvest CFO employs the same “high bar” criteria utilized for our recruiting for permanent roles in that our interim CFOs must have relevant industry experience; prior successful PE portfolio company experience; and the skillsets and attributes needed to deliver high value for the specific need and success for the duration of the interim engagement.
