Chryssaphes Associates is a specialist Executive Search firm dedicated to the recruitment of board level and senior/middle financial management professionals – the “CFO and their team” which, depending upon the size of organisation in question, may be at Group, Divisional/Regional or Operating Unit level.

We can recruit all the functional heads of department (and deputies) to be found within the finance organisations of most corporates, including:

• Accounting/Reporting
• Financial Control
• Planning and Analysis
• Corporate Finance
• Corporate Development/Strategy
• Internal Audit and Risk Management
• Investor Relations
• MIS
• Treasury
• Taxation

Given the types of individuals with whom we are in contact, we have also been involved in recruiting for Private Equity firms for appointments such as Investment Director/Executive, Director of Fund Accounting & Administration, etc.

With a background of over 20 years' specialist experience in this field, we have developed an exceptionally rich “talent pool” built up from on-going in-house research conducted at our own initiative as well as that accumulated from past client searches.

As can be noted from the example Past Track Record details provided, some of the major organisations for whom our Principal has conducted a significant number of recruitment assignments in the past include: Avis Europe Plc , Guinness (prior to the merger with GrandMet) and Norwich Union (prior to the merger with CGU). With his unequalled past experience in this field, our Principal is exceptionally well placed and connected to identify and source the best candidates for our clients and to potentially enhance the careers of individuals with whom we are in contact.

As a niche player, we do not operate in the “volume” market, and we consciously aim to work with a limited number of organisations at any one time (especially within any defined market sector). This means that our “off-limits” restrictions are kept to a minimum, to the maximum benefit of clients.

Unlike larger competitors, we can truly claim to have access to the “best” talent in our specialist field. We are of the firm belief that it is the individual consultant’s past experience and knowledge, and not the apparent reputation of the “recruitment brand” that they represent that ensures potential success with recruitment requirements.
