CFO/COO Management & Search

CFO/COO Management and Search

We can help you build effective policies and procedures, prepare accounting and human resource guidelines, make smart decisions about your investments and assets, search for top talent to fill executive and financial positions, and provide interim management during the search.

Our clients and new organizations to Bright Solutions call upon us to assist them in filling key administrative roles. From Executive Directors, Managing Directors, Directors of Finance to Controllers, CFO and COO posts, the firm can expedite the recruitment and screening of candidates, do extensive background checking (including credit, employment, criminal and educations) and reference checking – moving the process along expeditiously and at substantial savings from those conducted by traditional search firms. This can be accomplished because of the vast network Bright Solutions has in this field and the fact that we work around the clock to accommodate both the organization and the candidates.

Case Study

National Archives Foundation                              

Initially retained about four years ago to assess the accounting system, this evolved into providing executive search for a CFO. Three years later, when the CFO resigned, we were asked to repeat the executive search process. We maintain a relationship as “an as needed service provider.”

 

Strategic Restructuring, Mergers, Integrations and Affiliations/Alliances

Back in the mid-1970’s, Richard Kamenitzer was engaged by the Union County Technical Institute to explore a merger with Union College (the county college of Union County, New Jersey). The analyses, interviews and resulting report led to a formal negotiation into what today would be called an integration. In the succeeding decades, foundations and other philanthropies became seriously interested in how two or more local, regional and even national organizations might come together to achieve not only economies but also synergies.

With more than forty-five years of working with not-for-profit organizations, The Bright Solutions can assist Boards and Executives in exploring “possibilities” that can move from being always on the verge – to an accelerated combination of human, physical and financial resources delivering “mission” in cost-effective and timely fashion.

“You and Sarah have been so great throughout the recruiting process. Very professional, efficient, and really, really nice people. Thanks so much for that. I also absolutely appreciate your desire to get back to folks quickly. Having also been the guy who was not picked, I really appreciate your attention to these details. You guys are real professionals!”
