Prime Corporate Services, a firm that specializes in providing tax strategy, entity structuring, and personal credit services to entrepreneurs, was at a turning point. The company had grown rapidly, and both its CEO, Steve Harward, and investor, Roland Fraiser, recognized that the financial leadership needed to evolve to keep pace. The existing CFO, while loyal and capable in the early days, lacked the expertise to manage the complexities of a scaling business. To find the right leader who could guide Prime Corporate Services forward, they turned to us at Y Scouts.
With the business moving beyond its startup roots, Steve and Roland needed a CFO who not only had the technical expertise to professionalize the company’s financial operations but also understood its unique culture and future vision. They sought someone who could bring the structure and systems necessary for continued growth, while also aligning with the entrepreneurial spirit of Prime Corporate Services.
For Steve, replacing a long-time team member was a difficult decision, especially considering the importance of finding a perfect cultural fit. Roland had worked with other executive search firms in the past but felt many took a one-size-fits-all approach, leaving him concerned that the process would not deliver the tailored results Prime needed. Additionally, both Steve and Roland needed a solution that wouldn’t demand too much time from them, given the demands of running a rapidly growing company.
At Y Scouts, we stood out because of our methodical, stakeholder-driven approach. We didn’t just focus on technical qualifications but took the time to understand Prime Corporate Services’ culture, leadership dynamics, and long-term goals. We involved all key stakeholders in the search, ensuring that everyone who would interact with the new CFO was part of the process. This attention to detail allowed Steve to trust that when we presented candidates, they had already been thoroughly vetted and aligned with the company’s values.
Thanks to our comprehensive process, Prime Corporate Services found the perfect CFO. The selected candidate not only had the expertise to help the company scale but also fit seamlessly into the leadership team. Steve, who had been initially concerned about the burden of the search, appreciated how we managed every detail, leaving him free to focus on running the business. Roland was impressed by the diversity and caliber of candidates and felt confident they had made the right choice.
We didn’t just deliver a hire for Prime Corporate Services; we found a leader who could manage the company’s financial complexities and drive its growth. Our meticulous approach, combined with a deep understanding of Prime’s unique needs, ensured that the company secured a CFO capable of guiding it into its next chapter of expansion.
