Let's talk more

Trusted by the best in tech.

We do things differently. Setting the standard for CFO search across the global tech ecosystem.

  • We help founders decode the type of CFO they really need.

    There’s no one size fits all when it comes to CFOs. We help founders to identify their challenges across the financial, commercial, operational and strategic spectrum ensuring the hire we advise on solves the right problem.

  • We know that a CFO can be an unstoppable growth-driver.

    We’re challenging the CFO stereotype to help founders think beyond table stakes. We use our deep expertise and tried-and-tested CFO archetypes to find a CFO who can have an outsized impact on their organisation.

  • We provide access to a global network of stand-out CFOs.

    Our coverage of the ecosystem means we know who, how and when to talk to CFOs in our network so an opportunity makes an impact. We have access to a unique cohort of global candidates who know us. But also, who trust us and our approach.

“We decided to partner with Altima a few months into our CFO search and were very impressed with how quickly and efficiently the team got to work. Within a matter of months, we had secured our new CFO from a top tech firm, who has since had a huge impact on our organisation. I’d rate Altima a solid 5/5.”

Job van der Voort

CEO of Remote

“Altima’s advice throughout our CFO search was invaluable. Our finance team was very strong operationally already, and we needed a CFO who could be more of a strategic business partner with experience of both scale-up and large company dynamics. Altima took a holistic view of our existing team to help establish the type of expertise we needed to complement the skills we already had within the business. We ended up hiring an excellent CFO from a well-respected, high-growth tech company, with deep knowledge of our business model. The Altima team communicated clearly and regularly throughout the whole process, managed complicated diaries with ease and they were always happy to jump on a call when needed. Thank you, Altima for running such a great process.”

Tom Leathes

Founder and CEO of Motorway

“Our CFO was the first C-Suite hire we made at Genesis and, at that time, we had a one-person finance function. The Altima team gave us great insights into the finance talent market and constructively challenged our ideas about the type of CFO we needed, to quickly refine what was important in our search. This helped put us on the path to building a mature finance team fit for scale. The CFO we found with Altima has had a huge impact on Genesis. Within 18 months of him joining us at Series B, he played a critical role in raising our $200M Series C round. I’d highly recommend the Altima team and their brilliant process.”
