For Finance Professionals
A different kind of recruiter for finance leaders. One who started as a CPA, who works in your niche every day, and who treats your career move with the seriousness it deserves.
A Note from Sabina
Most finance professionals reading this aren't actively looking. You're good at what you do. You're delivering value in your current role. But something is off. Maybe the trajectory has flattened. Maybe the company shifted in a direction that doesn't match what you signed up for. Maybe you've outgrown the work itself.
Whatever the reason, you're at the point where the right opportunity would warrant a real conversation, even if you wouldn't pursue it from a job posting. That's exactly the kind of professional I work with.
I'm not in the business of pitching you the role of the moment. I'm in the business of helping you think through where your career is going, what would actually move you, and whether what I'm working on right now fits or doesn't.
The Gap
The frustration finance professionals share when we first talk usually falls into one of these patterns.
You've built real operational depth in hardware, manufacturing, or med device, and the recruiter calling about a SaaS Controller role clearly hasn't read your background. They're matching keywords, not experience.
Every call is about closing you on a specific opening, not understanding where you actually want to go. You're a name on a list, not a professional with a trajectory.
When you ask substantive questions about the role, the answers are generic. Cost accounting, inventory valuation, multi-entity consolidation, IPO readiness, none of it lands because the person on the other end has never done the work.
You interview, then go silent. No feedback, no updates, no clear next step. By the time anyone follows up, you've already decided to pass on the company entirely.
A Different Approach
I'm a former CPA with 10 years in finance and accounting before I became a recruiter. When you tell me about the close cycle you inherited or the audit you navigated, I know what you mean and I know what to ask next.
I only present opportunities I genuinely believe match where you are and where you want to go. If something isn't right for you, I'll tell you. The roles I bring you are filtered by my judgment, not by the volume my desk requires.
Career decisions are stressful. I think of my job as helping you think clearly, not pushing you toward whatever closes fastest. I'll walk through trade-offs, compensation realities, and red flags, and you decide what to do with that.
Some recruiters treat candidates like they're closing a sale. I treat you like a colleague. We'll get to the right answer together, and if the answer is "not now," that's fine. I'll be here when you're ready.
The professionals I've placed first reached out years before they ever moved. Call me about any opportunity, even one that isn't mine. I'd rather be your trusted advisor across a career than your one-time transaction.
Whether you get the job or not, you'll walk away from working with me saying it was the best recruiting experience you've had. Timely communication, real feedback, transparent process. That's the standard.
Who I Work With
My focus is narrow on purpose. I work with senior finance and accounting professionals — Director through CFO — placed at growing hardware, manufacturing, and med device companies nationwide.
The professionals I place tend to share a few things in common. Most have operational experience in physical product companies, not just software backgrounds. Most are at the point where the next move matters more than the next paycheck. And most are looking for a partnership, not a transaction.
If that's you, even if you're a year or more out from making a move, it's worth a conversation.

Sabina is an amazing recruiter. She delivers a high-touch, people-first process for both the candidate and the employer, all the while delivering clear and actionable feedback.
I know this from experience — at my previous company, not only did she hire me into the role but she placed five employees on my team.

I worked with Sabina both as a candidate and a hiring manager.
The thing I appreciated the most with her as a hiring manager is that she is very thorough and thoughtful to understand the needs of a hiring manager. Her background in Finance is incredibly helpful for her to quickly grasp what you are looking for. She not only quickly captures what you need but also suggests things that you may not have thought about. She brings in candidates that are well vetted, highly qualified and good fits for the role.
As a candidate, I appreciated her candid support and guidance and the fact that she doesn’t try to force you into a job that would not be a good fit. She really thinks about whether the role and candidate as well as the hiring team are good fits for each other.
I would highly recommend working with Sabina and would work with her on all my job searches or hiring needs.
I’ve known Sabina for close to 10 years, and when she says she really invests in relationships, it’s true. I got to know her when I was looking for a new role, and she listened and really got to know me as we began working together.
Over the years, I’ve come to consider Sabina more than just a valuable recruiter — she’s also a skilled career coach. On numerous occasions when I’ve let her know my situation (interviewing for a role, reviewing an offer), she’s given me very specific advice I couldn’t get elsewhere. Her advice comes from the fact that she knows the Finance & Accounting market deeply and genuinely enjoys helping people find the right roles.
I strongly recommend Sabina to anyone looking for a recruiter who can and does go above and beyond for job-seekers.
Sabina is all things you would expect from a top recruiter. She is knowledgeable in the space she deals in, very well connected, and super responsive.

What to Expect
A 30 to 45 minute conversation about where you are, what's working, what isn't, and what would actually move you. No pitch, no pressure. We just talk.
If I'm working on something that fits, I'll walk you through it in detail. If I'm not, I'll either keep your background in mind for what's coming, or refer you to someone better positioned for what you want.
If you decide to engage, I'll prep you for the interviews, share what I know about the company and team, and stay in regular contact through the process. You'll always know what's next.
I'll help you think through the offer, the counter-offer conversation if it comes up, and the bigger career question. What's the right move for you, not just the most flattering package.
Once you're placed, we stay in touch. I check in during your first months, and after. The professionals I've placed often become my best clients five or ten years down the road.
Let's Connect
Whether you're actively looking or just curious about the market, book a Leadership Call. We'll review where you are, what you're considering, and what would actually fit. No pressure to move, ever.
