Highbury Executive Talent

About Highbury Executive Talent

Highbury Executive Talent is a boutique executive search firm specialising in the placement of CFOs and senior finance leaders within private equity and venture capital–backed businesses across Australia. We exist for one reason: to connect high-growth companies with exceptional finance talent who can drive performance, manage complexity, and scale businesses from the inside out. Our approach is highly targeted and relationship-driven. Powered by CFO Scout, our proprietary search methodology & tool, we go deeper than traditional recruitment to identify leaders with the strategic insight, operational capability, and financial stewardship that investor-backed businesses demand. Critically, CFO Scout is designed to assess not just where a candidate is today, but where they're capable of going - evaluating future leadership potential, growth trajectory, and the ability to scale alongside and in parallel with a fast growing business. What sets us apart is our commitment to genuine fit. We take the time to understand both sides of the equation; your business goals and your future leader's ambitions, delivering a personalised, high-touch service that ensures lasting alignment, not just a placement. Through our extensive network and deep market knowledge, we support not just immediate hiring needs but long-term leadership strategies that enhance growth and value creation. The result is finance leaders who influence strategy, manage risk, and quietly power some of Australia's most ambitious mid-market businesses.
