Start my finance leadership search How We Think About Candidate Alignment
Compare relevant experience, not just an executive title.
Titles can hide enormous differences in responsibility. A useful search goes deeper into what the candidate actually owned, influenced, led, improved, and communicated.
This is where specialized recruiting creates value: understanding whether experience really translates to the environment in front of you.
Financial Ownership
What did they actually own?
Budget size, revenue, forecasting, accounting, cash, reporting, audit, planning, controls, treasury, and financial decision support.
Leadership Scope
Who did they lead?
Team size, management layers, accounting versus FP&A scope, cross-functional leadership, performance management, coaching, and organizational change.
Industry Context
Do they understand your financial model?
SaaS, grants, manufacturing, membership, reimbursement, professional services, inventory, portfolio finance, private equity, or other industry-specific complexities.
Executive Communication
Can they explain the numbers to decision-makers?
Board exposure, executive presentations, financial storytelling, forecast explanations, business cases, recommendations, and communication with non-finance leaders.
Systems
Have they worked in your technology environment?
ERP, accounting, FP&A, reporting, CRM, BI, consolidation, treasury, planning, or industry-specific systems.
Situation Fit
Have they operated through a similar moment?
Vacancy, rapid growth, restructuring, ERP implementation, acquisition, audit, turnaround, finance transformation, permanent search, or leadership transition.

Why Employers Call Scion
A finance deadline needs the right leader, not another hiring project.
You do not need to have the perfect job description before contacting us. Tell us what changed, what work is falling on other leaders, what deadlines are approaching, and what experience has been difficult to find. We can help translate that into the search.
When a Director of Finance position opens, the work does not wait. Your CFO may be stretched. Forecasts still need to be accurate. Cash still needs visibility. The board still expects answers. Your finance team still needs leadership. And hiring someone who has never worked in your type of organization can create an entirely new problem.
Scion helps you skip the cold start. Our recruiters connect employers with experienced temporary and interim Directors of Finance across the United States, including professionals whose industry, systems, leadership, reporting, planning, and operational backgrounds align with the work your organization actually needs done.
“Our Director of Finance just resigned.”
We can begin targeting interim leaders capable of maintaining forecasting, reporting, team leadership, cash visibility, accounting oversight, and executive support while your organization determines the long-term plan.
“Our CFO is doing two jobs.”
We can search for finance leaders who can absorb operating responsibility and give the CFO room to return to strategic work, board responsibilities, capital, growth, and executive decision-making.
“We have applicants, but none know our industry.”
We can expand the search nationally and pursue candidates whose backgrounds align with your industry, revenue model, systems, financial complexity, reporting environment, and stakeholders.
“We cannot leave this role open for months.”
Interim finance leadership can protect continuity while your organization conducts the permanent search thoughtfully instead of making a rushed long-term hire.
“We are heading into an audit, budget cycle, or ERP project.”
We can prioritize candidates with the specific finance experience connected to the event driving the need, including audit, budgeting, systems implementation, transformation, or financial reporting.
“Our finance organization has outgrown its current structure.”
We can pursue leaders experienced in building processes, teams, reporting, financial systems, controls, dashboards, and more scalable finance operations.

Scion's recruiting approach is not limited to inbound job applicants. Our team can use direct outreach, candidate relationships, referrals, professional networks, sourcing, and national search capabilities to pursue finance professionals who may not be actively applying online.
Can Scion search nationally for an interim Director of Finance?
Yes. Scion supports recruiting across U.S. markets and can structure searches around on-site, hybrid, remote, travel, or multi-location requirements.

Yes. Interim leadership can help maintain finance-team direction, reporting, forecasting, cash visibility, budgeting, accounting oversight, executive support, and financial continuity while the organization conducts its long-term search.
Can Scion target specific ERP or financial systems experience?
Yes. Search criteria can include ERP, accounting, FP&A, reporting, business intelligence, treasury, consolidation, CRM, planning, and other systems relevant to the assignment. Employers can also prioritize ERP implementation, migration, integration, automation, or finance-transformation experience.
How does Scion evaluate Director of Finance candidates?
Candidate alignment can include financial ownership, team scope, industry context, company stage, reporting responsibilities, forecasting, cash, accounting oversight, systems, audit, controls, board exposure, executive communication, transformation, and experience with situations similar to the one driving the employer's need.
What should we tell Scion before starting the search?
Helpful information includes why the position is open, what must be accomplished, responsibilities that cannot be delayed, reporting relationship, team structure, industry, systems, financial complexity, executive and board interaction, location, work model, assignment duration, compensation or bill-rate parameters, and desired timing.
What if we are not sure whether we need a Director of Finance, Controller, or CFO?
You do not need to determine the title before contacting Scion. Titles vary widely between organizations. Tell us which responsibilities need ownership, what level of leadership is missing, what decisions the person needs to support, and what technical or industry experience matters. That information can help shape a more appropriate candidate profile.
Can Scion recruit the rest of our accounting and finance team?
Yes. Scion supports hiring across accounting and finance, including Controllers, Directors of Accounting, Finance Managers, Accounting Managers, Senior Financial Analysts, Budget Analysts, Business Analysts, Senior Accountants, Tax Accountants, Cost Accountants, Accountants, Accounting Specialists, Accounting Clerks, Bookkeepers, Auditors, and additional accounting and finance positions.
How fast can you present relevant interim finance leaders?
Scion can generally start your search the same day after intake and present relevant talent as quickly as 48 to 72 hours when requirements and qualified candidate availability align. Your industry, systems, scope, working arrangement, and the executive’s commitments affect timing. Candidate presentation is different from a confirmed start date; your expert coordinates the selection and agreed onboarding steps with your timeline in view.
Do you recruit interim FP&A, treasury, and commercial finance directors?
Yes. Scion recruits interim Directors and VPs of Finance, Directors of FP&A, Finance and Operations Directors, Finance and Accounting Directors, Commercial Finance Directors, and Treasury and Cash Management Directors.

For a finance leader employed by Scion under an agreed W-2 staffing arrangement, Scion coordinates applicable employment onboarding, timekeeping, payroll administration, employment tax withholding, benefits administration, and workers’ compensation coverage. Your organization approves time, supplies internal access and financial context, and retains responsibility for financial approvals and business decisions. The services and terms are confirmed before the engagement begins.
Can you match a finance director to our audit, transaction or ERP deadline?
We use the event driving the assignment to shape the search. Criteria can include audit preparation, financial reporting cleanup, quality-of-earnings support, post-acquisition reporting, close coordination, or experience with NetSuite, SAP, Sage, and other relevant systems. Your expert confirms the specific work the candidate has led, available dates, working arrangement, and the steps needed to begin.
Can we hire if our city is not listed among your offices?
Yes. Scion’s US-based recruiters serve employers in all 50 states, including cities beyond our office locations. Your search can include local, statewide, and national finance leaders, with onsite, hybrid, remote, or travel requirements built into candidate evaluation. We confirm each candidate’s experience, interest, and practical availability.
What support do we receive after the finance leader starts?
Your dedicated Scion expert remains a point of contact for assignment administration, feedback, and changes in scope or timing. We coordinate timekeeping and payroll where applicable under the agreed staffing arrangement and discuss extensions or transitions when your plans change. Your management team establishes the financial priorities, internal authority, and measures used to evaluate the assignment.
Where can finance directors and VPs of Finance apply with Scion?
Finance leaders can explore current opportunities on Scion’s Search Jobs page and apply for relevant openings. Apply With Scion also provides a way to share your background for consideration.
