Why Built Finance

Hire for what's next, not what you had before.

01

An operator, not a recruiter

We've run finance and built these teams ourselves, so we evaluate candidates the way a CFO would.

02

Fit, not keywords

Every candidate is measured against what your business needs, not a generic job description.

03

AI informs. People decide.

AI makes the analysis deeper and faster. An experienced operator reviews every result, and the decision is always yours.

Who you'll work with

"I've built finance teams the traditional way. Now I build them for what's next."

Kevin PriceFounder, Built Finance

I've spent my career building and developing high-performing finance teams for prominent venture and private equity-backed companies. When I recommend a hire, it's the person I'd want on my own team.

Questions

Good questions to ask first.

How do you use AI?

To analyze your finance function and to assess each candidate against your needs, faster and more thoroughly than a manual review. Kevin reviews every result, and every hiring decision is yours.

Do I need the assessment before a search?

No. If you already know the role, we can start with the search. Most companies find the assessment worthwhile because it makes sure you're hiring for the right seat.

How are fees structured?

Assessments are scoped and priced up front. Searches carry a placement fee. We're happy to walk through specifics on a call.

Who do you work with?

Growing, venture capital and private equity backed companies. Our industry roots are in technology, consumer, and food and beverage.

Not sure what you need? That's where we start.
