Overview:
Quai Digital is a fast-growing, private equity-backed digital administration company. The business empowers financial professionals and organisations by transforming their operations through white-label products and administration services, all supported by a cutting-edge platform technology.
As the company scaled, the need for a full-time CFO became clear, someone who could optimise financial systems, provide strategic leadership, and drive the company’s financial growth. This role would have a direct, day-to-day impact on operations, ensuring Quai Digital was well-positioned for future success.
Context:
Stanton House was introduced to Quai Digital through Calculus Capital to support the search for a CFO as the business prepared for a sale within the next few years.
Entering a crucial growth phase, Quai Digital required an experienced CFO to lead its financial strategy, work closely with the CEO and leadership team, manage budgets, and deliver the financial insights needed to guide the company toward a successful transaction.
Solution:
Leveraging our extensive CFO network and proactive search approach, Stanton House identified and curated a shortlist of highly experienced candidates with diverse expertise. Our rigorous selection process ensured a high-calibre talent pool, ultimately leading to the successful appointment of a CFO who seamlessly aligned with Quai Digital’s culture and long-term strategic objectives.
"Partnering with Stanton House for our CFO search was a seamless and highly professional experience. Their deep understanding of our business and the private equity landscape enabled them to provide a carefully curated shortlist of top-tier candidates. Throughout the process, Eddie was proactive, transparent, and consistently available to offer valuable insights and guidance. They took the time to truly grasp our culture and strategic goals, ensuring every candidate was not only technically skilled but also a strong fit for our leadership team. Their expertise, dedication, and commitment to securing the best possible outcome made all the difference." – Tony Webb, CEO
