Our clients

“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.”

"Right from the start, Altima built a deep understanding of Tide as a business, our growth aspirations and how that impacted the type of CFO we needed. They understood that whilst PE-backed, Tide was first and foremost, a growth-focused tech offering. The search was executed brilliantly. I was very impressed by how transparent their candidate mapping was and the depth of information provided to us during this phase of the search. This detail, paired with the useful market context provided, enabled us to make informed decisions on this hire. This advisory approach really sets Altima apart. I’ve worked with a number of top search firms during my career and I’d say that Altima comfortably outperformed them on this search."

“Altima’s knowledge of the ecosystem is outstanding. They were flexible, agile, ready to jump on calls at a moment’s notice and they ensured open communication throughout. Altima introduced us to a great selection of top-level candidates, which gave us the confidence to move fast once we met the right person. Crucially, hiring in the US was new to us, and their help negotiating the package and understanding the idiosyncrasies of that market was invaluable. They truly exceeded our expectations. The result was a spectacular hire — a world-class finance leader who shares our vision and who will drive our next era of growth.”

“We were very impressed with Altima, particularly the pace at which they work and the knowledge they have about the CFO landscape. They helped us find a fantastic CFO for Sennder and were a pleasure to work with throughout the process.”

“We’ve worked with Altima now on several occasions and their process is highly effective. The initial sessions led by the team were instrumental in aligning our needs with the right type of finance leader, which ultimately led to a strong pool of high-quality candidates during each search. The team were very responsive and proactive, both with us as a client and with our candidates. I’d highly recommend the Altima team.”

"I was very impressed with how quickly and thoroughly Altima assessed our business during the Discovery phase of their process. They invested a lot of time into understanding our company and what we needed in our new CFO. The detailed research and commentary Altima provided on each candidate was a great help throughout the process too. The team listened to our feedback so that we got to a very strong shortlist of CFOs who were spot on for Flowdesk, which led us to secure a stand-out CFO who was the perfect fit for our team."

“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.”

“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.”

“We engaged Altima to help us find a CFO ahead of our IPO, and were immediately impressed by the rigour of their research methodologies and the strength of their team. With a unique understanding of the tech ecosystem, the Altima team were able to advise us on the structure of our senior finance team pre and post IPO. They truly understood our needs and worked at pace with a proven approach that led to a phenomenal outcome – we met our world-class CFO within the first week of the search.”

“Working with Altima was a very positive experience. A CFO is a critical hire in any organisation, so you need a partner who is going to work hard to understand your business and what you need from the role. Altima’s sector specialism makes them true experts in their field, and I felt that there was a real desire from their team to find the right person for us. The breadth of knowledge they had and the quality of candidates they presented meant that I always felt I had a strong team working with me to get the right result. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Altima to any business looking for a new CFO.”

"As we operate within the Web3 space, I was very impressed with how quickly Altima got up to speed with our very technical value proposition and how well they communicated it to potential candidates. They have deep knowledge of the FinTech space which meant they understood the skills we needed right from the outset. They helped us find a CFO who had been on the journey we wanted to go on, and who has become a huge asset to our organisation. I’d highly rate their team and their process."

“We approached Altima with an idea of the kind of CFO we needed – someone with tech expertise who had tackled similar challenges in a similar business. With their outstanding knowledge of the market, Altima promptly challenged our assumptions and transformed our brief to support the future of the business. Working at an incredibly fast pace, they secured an exceptional hire – a star female CFO that exceeds our expectations and sets us on a sure footing for our next stage of growth.”

"The guidance we received from the Altima team was fantastic during our CFO search. They encouraged us to explore CFO candidates from outside the FinTech sector, which was a great decision in the end and how we found our CFO. The quality of candidates throughout the search was stellar, largely due to their impressive global network across the tech sector. They provided solid support at critical stages in the search and overall communication throughout the process was excellent. I’d highly recommend Altima to any founder looking for their next CFO."

Working with Altima to hire our CFO was a fantastic experience. Their team demonstrated deep market expertise, a highly structured approach, and an impressive ability to understand our specific needs. They delivered top-tier candidates efficiently, making the entire process seamless and highly effective. We highly recommend Altima for executive recruitment.
