Salary benchmarks
Our take
CFOs are the unsung heroes of the business world, and their expertise is especially crucial at a company’s early stages. The right CFO can bring strategy, financial knowledge and the power for growth, yet many hiring teams lack the understanding of the role and the network to make the right hire. Moreover, it’s not uncommon to find the same batch of financial leaders taking work from CFO up-and-comers.
It’s for these reasons that Altima specialises in CFO search and advisory. Combining executive search with consultancy, Altima uses its extensive networks, rigorous research skills and data-driven approach to advise on the perfect match between a company and its CFO.
What started as an early-stage start-up partner has grown into a firm that operates across the entire growth cycle, from Series A to private equity. It’s the specificity that helps Altima stand out, and in its over two decades of operating, it’s expanded its reach across Europe to become a leader in its field. With clients including Bolt, Personio, Tide, Octopus EV and many other startup success stories.
