The challenge
Following private equity investment, CyberFOX needed to develop its accounting function to meet the reporting requirements of a sponsor-backed business.
The B2B SaaS platform required a Controller with experience in private equity-backed environments and a record of leading accounting transformation. The role also called for someone based in the Tampa area who could work on site three days a week.
The search had already been open for several months, making it important to reach relevant candidates beyond those the business had previously considered.
The search
Finatal mapped the Tampa market to identify qualified Controllers with the required technical and transformation experience.
We uncovered candidates who had not previously been approached about the opportunity, expanding the field beyond the existing search. Assessment focused on experience building and scaling finance functions in high-growth, private equity-backed businesses.
The result
Within four weeks of kickoff, Finatal secured a CPA-qualified candidate with a strong public accounting foundation and experience leading finance transformation in sponsor-backed companies.
The Controller joined in August 2026, bringing the background required to strengthen accounting processes, controls and reporting as CyberFOX developed under private equity ownership.
