THE 90 DAY CFO INSTALL™
When a newly-hired CFO fails, it's never just a hiring mistake.
We install CFOs for PE-backed and growth-stage companies where financial leadership failure would materially damage the business.
THE PROBLEM
Most CFO searches don't fail loudly - they fail expensively.
Forecasts lose credibility.
Boards stop trusting the numbers.
Capital decisions get delayed.
The business drifts while leadership debates reality.
By the time it's visible, the damage is already done.
THE REFRAME
Your CFO is not there to report the numbers.
Your CFO exists to do something far more consequential — to protect the business before the risk becomes visible:
Surface risk early
Translate data into decisions
Consult with the board with confidence
Tell the truth before it becomes inconvenient
WHAT WE ARE
ISOLA is not a traditional search firm. We are a risk-reduction recruitment system - powered by Human Interface (network) and enhanced with Artificial Intelligence (sourcing).
Our responsibility is not to simply fill a seat. Our responsibility is to ensure the CFO can operate independently, credibly, and decisively — within 90 days.
The 90 Day CFO Install™ ensures your CFO is prepared:
Specialization
Has lived inside your growth stage & complexity
Board-Ready
Can operate with board & investor confidence
Pre-Aligned
Is aligned with the CEO and sponsors from day one
Pre-Existing Learning Curve
Knows your market - not "learning on the job" at your expense
This is not high-volume recruiting. This is surgical execution for talent acquisition, retention and success.
OUR FOUNDER
Success begins with a better pipeline.
Prior to launching ISOLA, I spent 25 years in recruitment — the last 11 focused specifically on finance leadership search, including time at Korn Ferry. I've seen what happens when a CFO hire goes wrong: forecasts lose credibility, boards lose trust, and capital decisions stall. I built the 90-Day CFO Install™ to prevent exactly that.
My focus is PE-backed and growth-stage companies where financial leadership failure carries real consequences — for the business, the board, and the investors backing it. I work directly with Operating Partners, Managing Partners, portfolio company CEOs, and Founders.
If you're evaluating a CFO or finance leadership hire and want a partner who delivers — let's talk.

Retained search model
Limited concurrent engagements
Deep market mapping

If that feels restrictive, we may not be the right firm for you. If it feels reassuring, we should talk.
BEYOND THE CFO SEAT
Financial leadership risk doesn't stop at one title.
The same discipline that de-risks a CFO hire applies across your finance and accounting leadership bench — wherever a bad hire would cost you a board cycle. Our executive search service offering extends to:
Chief Accounting Officer
VP of Finance
Controller
FP&A Lead
If your CFO misses the signal, who pays the price?
