Founder & managing partner
Bob Worthington
Bob Worthington is a seasoned finance executive with over 30 years of experience serving as CFO and senior financial leader across a wide range of industries. As a CPA and MBA, Bob brings both the technical rigor and strategic perspective that companies need at critical inflection points.
Throughout his career, Bob has raised over $100 million in equity financing and secured more than $200 million in debt — giving him firsthand knowledge of what investors and lenders look for in a finance leader. That experience is exactly what he brings to every client engagement and every search.
Bob founded WorthingtonCFOs on a simple premise: the best person to find or fill a CFO role is someone who has actually done the job. Whether stepping in as an interim CFO, serving in a fractional capacity, or conducting a retained executive search, Bob applies the same standard — find the right person, not just an available one.
With 50+ successful CFO placements and 10+ sell-side M&A transactions to his name, Bob has built a reputation for speed, precision, and discretion. He works directly with founders, CEOs, and boards — no junior recruiters, no hand-offs.

Why WorthingtonCFOs?
We're not a staffing agency. We're finance executives who understand what it takes to lead a finance function — and what companies need at every stage.
CFOs Placing CFOs
Bob has sat in the CFO seat. That means he knows exactly what skills, temperament, and experience the role demands — and can spot the difference between a great resume and a great executive.
Speed When It Matters
Finance leadership gaps are expensive. We move fast — interim placements can be in seat within days, and our search process is built for urgency without sacrificing quality.
No Hand-Offs
Bob personally leads every engagement. You work directly with the person who has the experience and the network — not a junior associate working from a database.
