CFO & Finance Executive Recruiter in Seattle

Seattle’s finance and technology sectors are growing fast, and the competition for senior financial leadership has never been more intense. If you need a CFO, VP of Finance, or senior finance executive in Seattle, you need a recruiter who knows this market — not a national firm running a database search from across the country.

Ghost Mountain is a boutique executive search firm with deep roots in the Pacific Northwest. We place C-suite and senior finance leaders at companies across Seattle, the broader Puget Sound region, and nationally. We will solve your search problem, absolutely.

Seattle’s Finance Talent Market Is Competitive

Seattle has quietly become one of the most sophisticated finance talent markets in the country. The concentration of major technology companies, aerospace primes, construction firms, and emerging fintech companies has created enormous demand for financial leadership — and a candidate market that moves fast.

The best CFOs and VP of Finance candidates in Seattle are not on job boards. They are employed, performing well, and not actively looking. Reaching them requires relationships, reputation, and a recruiter who operates in this market every day.

That is exactly what Ghost Mountain brings to your search.

Why Companies Choose Ghost Mountain

We are not a large staffing firm running your search through a junior associate. When you work with Ghost Mountain, you work directly with an experienced recruiter who has spent years building relationships with senior finance talent in Seattle and across the West Coast.

We move fast and communicate constantly. You will never wonder where your search stands. If something needs to change, we tell you immediately and adjust. That responsiveness is not a promise — it is how we have operated for eight years.

We are also a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, which matters to companies with supplier diversity goals or government contracting relationships.

The Finance Leaders We Place

Ghost Mountain conducts searches for senior finance and C-suite roles including Chief Financial Officer, VP of Finance, Controller, Director of Financial Planning and Analysis, and Chief Accounting Officer.

We source from two talent pools — candidates with deep accounting and controls backgrounds, typically CPAs who have worked their way up through public accounting into industry roles, and candidates with strategic finance orientations, typically FP&A and corporate finance leaders with strong analytical and planning capabilities. We will help you determine which background fits your company’s current stage before the search begins.

Who We Work With in Seattle

Our Seattle-area clients include companies in technology, construction, aerospace and defense, finance, government contracting, and professional services. Our clients typically range from $50M to $500M in annual revenue — large enough to need sophisticated financial leadership, focused enough to need a recruiting partner who treats their search as a priority.

We work nationally, but Seattle is a primary market. Our candidate network in the Pacific Northwest has been built over eight years of dedicated recruiting in this region.
