Our specialisms
We’re behind the finance engines of the world’s most disruptive tech firms.
CFO Hires
Our job is to advise founders as they make their most critical hire. And to help CFOs land their career-defining roles. We’ve supported over 30% of Europe’s Unicorns find their finance leaders from Series A through to pre-IPO.
IPO ORGANISATION DESIGN
CFOs can’t deliver an IPO alone. We have a proven track record in advising our clients broader organisational design from Series C to exit and helping them fill those roles with the talent they need.
ADVISORY SERVICES
Our team understands that hiring a new CFO isn’t always the right call. We provide range of standalone projects such as 360 reviews of current senior finance talent, specific market mapping and mentoring introductions to grow and develop CFOs and their teams.

"Altima is our go-to search partner for VP of Finance and CFO roles across our portfolio in Europe. John and his team are not only incredibly well connected to the CFO community and thus can bring candidates to their searches, but they are also some of the best partners to steer founders through the tricky search phases, never losing sight of the ultimate goal to find the right candidate for the role. Their ability to clearly articulate the kind of finance leader needed for each company/stage/sector, and to become a storyteller and ambassador for their clients, are hugely valuable and differentiating in the market"
Sandra Schwarzer
Vice President of Talent at Index Ventures
