We draw on our years of industry and search experience to provide a clear focus for implementing your business plans, by putting the right person in the job that will add value over the long term.

We offer a unique strategic perspective on your business and the people who should work for you. We are the only firm of its kind in the financial services industry with a clientele that includes wealthy families and private investors, as well as the professional and financial organizations that serve them. That means that we can bring to you in-depth understanding of what your target market actually expects from you and the people who represent your services in the marketplace. In addition, we have an unequaled candidate network of wealth management and family office executives.

New direction and competitive success means creativity and a more targeted investment in human capital.

Executive Search and Management Counsel

We don't just present candidates, we provide the executive due diligence required to assess whether a prospective candidate is a good business risk.

Our pre-search consulting process builds internal consensus and clarity around the critical characteristics and expectations of the job you are trying to fill. This allows us to define accurate candidate criteria that best matches the nature of the assignment and the unique culture of the organization. Our responsibility is to provide the best possible people who will make a long-term contribution to the business.

In addition, we employ a personal profiling system that analyzes the finalist candidates' behavioral style, values and attitudes -- that is, the person's manner of doing things and why. This evaluation helps the hiring manager and the candidate to understand the attributes they bring to the job, and how they will fit into the current team of employees. It prepares the candidate to meet the demands of their new environment, and it helps their new manager to understand how best to manage and support them. We can also profile current employees to support team building and allow identification of behavioral styles prior to initiating the search.

Throughout the search process, we will work closely with you to ensure that both you and the candidate are making the best decision. As a boutique firm, we can deliver highly personalized service and take the time to understand your needs so that we can find you the right candidate. Our firm size and business philosophy limits our roster of clients at any one time. Therefore, we do not have the restrictions or blockage of larger search firms. Our niche focus puts us closer to what's happening in that segment of the financial services market and the network of candidates and sources.


Three out of every four assignments are with repeat clients. We must be doing something right.
