Industrial Executive Search

Finance and M&A leadership for industrial companies.

CFOs, Chief Accounting Officers, Controllers, and corporate development leaders for industrial companies.

Hazeltine Executive Search places finance, accounting, corporate development, and M&A leaders for industrial companies. We run retained searches through The Hazeltine Process and place interim finance executives when a seat opens without warning.

Roles we place

Finance & Accounting leadership

CFO · Chief Accounting Officer · VP of Finance · Controller. The leaders who run the numbers and the team behind them.

Corporate Development & M&A

VP of Corporate Development · VP of M&A. The leaders who find, close, and integrate acquisitions.

What we screen for

  • Cost accounting and inventory. Standard costing, variances, counts that tie.
  • Multi-site close. Many locations, one clean consolidated close.
  • ERP. Candidates who have lived through an implementation.
  • Working capital under pressure.
  • Acquisition integration. Folding add-ons into one close and one set of reports.

Situations we see often

  • The close takes 30 days and the owners are tired of stale numbers.
  • Acquisitions are coming faster than finance can integrate them.
  • A sale is on the horizon and the EBITDA adjustments need support.
  • Cash is tight and the lender wants a weekly forecast it can trust.
