Global Financial LeadersPersonally Recruited.

Executive search for multilingual CFOs, senior finance leaders, and executive talent across international markets.

Forty years of senior finance search—conducted personally, in complete confidence, across borders.

Partial Client List

Why Schneider?

You run the company. We find the people who help you run it.

A senior finance search can consume months of leadership's attention—and the wrong hire costs far more than time. We run the entire process and deliver a short, carefully curated slate of executives worth meeting, so your team stays focused on running the business while we find the leader who fits.

It matters, because in international markets the right CFO, Finance Director, or Country Controller does far more than manage reporting, controls, and compliance. They become the trusted bridge between corporate leadership and the local business—delivering financial visibility, governance, and practical counsel across borders.

We identify executives who pair international experience and cultural fluency with deep local market knowledge—a proven alternative to costly expatriate assignments. Fluent in U.S. and global business practice, credible with headquarters, and grounded in the local market.

Principal-Led, Start to Finish

Every search led personally by Eric Schneider—never handed to junior associates. Four decades of judgment and cross-border reach behind every shortlist.
