Client Testimonials
"Patricia came highly recommended to me by the senior financial management team at Netflix, and she did not disappoint. When I assumed the CFO role for Extend Health, one of my first tasks was to build a finance and accounting management team which would bring us to public company standard accounting and reporting in an environment of fast growth, and provide superior analytics to a complex business model. Patricia took the time to understand our business and our culture and provided me with strong candidates in a short period of time. We filled positions of Corporate Controller and head of FP&A with people who are outstanding and widely respected inside the company. Patricia listens well, learns quickly, is knowledgeable, straight forward and has a lot of contacts in the marketplace. I would not hesitate to work with her again."

"Wow, what an extraordinary recruiting talent! Patricia came highly recommended to us specifically for the Chief Accounting Officer search and did a remarkable job.

"We considered several retained search firms to do the CFO search at IPI. We decided on Patricia because of her narrow dedication to the Financial Officer function, her knowledge of our business and needs, and because she came highly recommended. We were very pleased with the caliber of the candidates she identified and our CFO brought us everything we needed in the role. She's a great listener and I would welcome the opportunity to work with Patricia again."

"I've worked with Patricia for over ten years, from both the client and candidate perspective. She introduced me to Hands-On Mobile in 2007 and helped build out my entire finance and accounting team in preparation for an IPO while I was Corporate Controller at Digital Island. Patricia is insightful, forthcoming and understands the motivations of the people and companies she represents. Her focus in the finance and accounting discipline combined with her years of experience make her an asset to any executive team looking to identify financial leadership. Of paramount importance to me in working with a search firm professional is that I am able to have implicit trust in the person I am working with. Patricia has more than earned my trust over the years. I value her honesty, integrity, and personal ethics. In addition, her upbeat personality makes her a joy to work with."

Patricia is a go-to person for the recruitment of outstanding Finance and Accounting leaders and I recommend her to any executive team wanting to recruit top-tier talent."
