WORKING WITH KENDALL & DAVIS

Some searches are straightforward. Most of ours aren’t.

Kendall & Davis specializes in the leadership roles that are genuinely hard to fill — senior Finance & Accounting, Governance Risk & Compliance, and Technology & Cybersecurity executives who are rarely visible on job boards and aren’t actively looking. For more than 30 years, we’ve helped Midwest organizations find and land those leaders through founder-led, discreet, targeted search.

We don’t flood your pipeline. We bring you the right people.

WHY CLIENTS CHOOSE KENDALL & DAVIS

We know your market

Our search practice is built on deep Midwest market intelligence — who the senior Finance, GRC, and Technology leaders are, what they earn, what motivates them to move, and what it takes to win their commitment. That knowledge doesn’t come from a database query. It comes from 30+ years of direct relationships.

We understand the roles

A CFO search for a PE-backed manufacturer is not the same as placing a Controller in a regulated financial institution. We specialize in complex, operationally demanding environments — audit-intensive, board-facing, and compliance-driven organizations where leadership selection carries real consequence.

We protect your reputation and theirs

Senior executives navigate career transitions carefully. We represent your organization with discretion and professionalism, ensuring every interaction — whether or not a candidate accepts the role — reflects well on you.

We reduce risk on both sides

Our process is built around long-term fit, not fast fills. We take time to understand your culture, your board’s expectations, and the operational realities of the role. That alignment is what produces hires that last.
