For Finance Professionals

Elevate Your Career

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

I Know What You're Trying to Do

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

What Most Recruiters Miss About You

The frustration finance professionals share when we first talk usually falls into one of these patterns.

Your Skill Set Doesn't Fit Their Search

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.

The Conversation Is Always Transactional

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.

They Can't Speak Your Language

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.

The Process Disappears After Submission

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

How I Work With Finance Professionals

01

I Speak Your Language

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.

02

I Won't Waste Your Time

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.

03

Part Recruiter, Part Therapist

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.

04

No Pressure, No Pushing

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.

05

I'm Here for the Long Term

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.

06

Exceptional Candidate Experience

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

The Finance Leaders I Place

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.

Roles I Place

  • Chief Financial Officer (CFO)
  • Chief Accounting Officer (CAO)
  • VP of Finance
  • VP / Senior Director of FP&A
  • VP Controller / Controller
  • Head of Finance
  • Senior Director, Accounting
  • Director-level finance roles at growth-stage companies

What They Say

Finance Leaders Who've Worked With Sabina

What to Expect

From the First Call Through the Offer

01

The First Call

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.

02

Match Calibration

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.

03

Submission & Interviews

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.

04

Offer & Negotiation

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.

05

The Long Game

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.
