For a Multinational, choosing the right Chief Financial Officer (CFO) is a crucial decision.
We believe today’s business environment requires a CFO who is more of a change agent than a number cruncher; who partners the CEO to achieve the growth imperative while managing the company’s financial, regulatory and governance initiatives.
While the CEO is the front face of the company and the precursor of its early success, sustaining this success and growing the company requires a win-win partnership between a CEO and the CFO. The CFO is responsible for the ongoing financial health of the company by contributing to vital tasks such as financial planning and regulations, tax laws, costs & controls, etc. in markets that might be new to even the CEO. This makes choosing the right fit CFO more vital as well as challenging for the company. The right CFO can make a perceptible difference to the bottom line of our client's enterprises and it is with this perspective in mind that we specialize in CFO placement.
Our search for the Right Fit CFO begins with understanding the contextual change that companies seek, and their level of readiness to accept a CFO with new ideas. At the same time, we seek and garner in-depth knowledge of the prospective CFO’s approach and understand the change they seek in the lives and career. In doing so, we actually match expectations rather than merely aligning skill requirements.
Our wide network of finance professionals arising out of the work experience of the management team and many board members in the Banking & Finance industry combined with our extensive experience of successfully completing several senior level assignments in Finance , Banking & Industry makes us the “go to” destination for finding great CFOs.
We are a Rapid Reaction Team – we operate on the basis of rapid response and are diligent in delivering to purpose and time.

"We are proud of our association with Clark and Kent. Clark and Kent is a young organization that understands and values talent as people beyond resumes. What separates them from others is the fact that the team at Clark and Kent is made up of people fresh out of the industry, and is advised by a set of honorary mentors who are stalwarts in their respective areas. I am always confident that they understand the profile of a mandate and would fulfill it in a timely and satisfactory manner through their wide network of contacts within the industry. They understand people are key and it gives me great confidence that they can be our arms and brains to search for the right candidate.
We treasure the association..."

"I have known Mr. Sudarshan Narayan for the past over 10 years now. More recently in Onida, we have used the services of Clark & Kent and would like to place on record, my sincere appreciation for the speed of response and the professional contributions, reflected in all our dealings with Sudarshan in particular, and Clark & Kent in general.
Though the position we gave him was very senior, Sudarshan was able to respond against a very strict timeline and exceeded his delivery against milestones; both in terms of quality of CVs sourced, as well as the time taken for the same.
On meeting with the candidates, our Chairman as well as CEO were impressed to see the fit between the candidate profile and our requirement. This showed that Clark & Kent had clearly understood our needs and gone to great lengths to identify suitable and appropriate candidates. I have no hesitation in recommending this firm for any senior level openings and complimenting Clark & Kent for their proficiency and strong network."
