About Hewitt Search Partners

Built on one driving principle:
The right people can transform a business — if you know how to find them.

Led by Kansas City native James Hewitt, we partner with growth-focused companies to help them hire exceptional

talent in accounting, finance, and operations. With a background in recruiting and a track record of working

with founder-led and private equity-backed businesses, we understand the urgency, nuance, and impact of

every hire.

We’re not a big agency — and we don’t try to be. Our clients work directly with the founder, and every

search gets the full focus it deserves. No handoffs. No inflated processes. Just sharp execution, honest

communication, and candidates who stick.

Built to be nimble. Designed to deliver. Committed to getting it right.

What We Do

Hewitt Search Partners specializes in recruiting high-performing talent across accounting, finance, and operational functions. We work with private equity-backed, founder-led, and growth-stage companies that need more than just resumes — they need results.

We place professionals in roles like:

  • CFOs & Controllers

  • Directors & Managers of Finance

  • Senior & Staff Accountants

  • Financial Analysts

  • Operations & Strategy Leaders

We partner on both executive-level and critical mid-level searches, tailoring each process to your company’s stage, culture, and urgency.

Whether you’re hiring to scale, stabilize, or strengthen — we bring the right people to the table.

Why Choose Hewitt Search Partners?

When the stakes are high, hiring the wrong person costs more than time — it costs momentum. That’s why companies turn to us.

Here’s what sets Hewitt Search Partners apart:

Founder-Led Execution
You work directly with James — not a junior associate or account manager. That means focus, accountability, and consistency from start to finish.

Specialized Focus
We recruit for what we know: accounting, finance, and operations. No distractions. No guessing. Just the right conversations with the right people.

Tailored Search Process
Every search is customized to your goals, pace, and culture. Whether you need speed or precision, we adjust accordingly.

Selective by Design
We only take on searches we believe in — and we go all-in on the ones we do. That means fewer clients, more attention, and better results.

National Reach, Midwest Roots
Based in Kansas City and working coast-to-coast, we combine local grit with national talent access.

We’re not trying to be the biggest firm — just the most effective one for the right clients.
