Requirement
AnaCap needed a full cycle CFO as it didn't have a senior enough finance person on acquisition. They needed an ultra-experienced CFO (to have done everything from initial set-up, through Buy&Build to exit) on a small-cap budget.
Solution
Privatal were retained on the search, with time and budget being of essence.
Result
AnaCap retained Privatal in early November; by mid-November, we had a signed contract with a CFO veteran who took a significant pay-cut to join the business.

"Privatal have now placed me in my third consecutive CFO Role. Their exceptional expertise in the Private Equity world meant that with each new search, I had multiple interviews lined up in just days.
​
Their DACH team, led me very competently through five parallel processes. He kept me constantly informed throughout and was an invaluable party for me. Within 1 month of embarking on the joint search, I signed an Interim CFO role with a superb PE House. I can clearly recommend Mark and Privatal from a candidate perspective."
