We Do Not Fill Vacancies. We Architect Success.
The 'Doctor's Stance':
Diagnosis Before Prescription.
C Level Finance is the synthesis of a 34-year career—combining 28 years in elite international banking and 6 years dedicated to specialized executive search.
Our founder recognized a critical market failure: The "Six-Figure Certainty Gap."
Most agencies treat executive hiring as a transaction—a "numbers game" of resumes.
We treat it as a strategic risk event. We don't just find candidates; we architect a guaranteed outcome.
We supply certainty, not just placements.

Meet Your C-Level Partner
Aurel Ghidoveanu
Founder & Strategic Advisor
Aurel's authority is built on the "Banker's Lens"—a proprietary risk-assessment framework derived from his 28-year career in top-tier banking (ABN AMRO, Citibank),
This framework is rigorously applied through 6 years of specialized executive search.
His background also includes experience as a (non-active) CPA.
Why a Banker makes the best Advisor:
For decades, his role was to analyze corporate leadership teams as a prerequisite for approving multi-million Euro lending.
He learned to evaluate executives not by their interview polish, but by their operational reality.
This unique peer-to-peer perspective allows Aurel to sit on the same side of the table as you—the CFO or CEO—and diagnose the strategic, financial, and cultural risk of your next hire.
"I evaluate talent the way a banker evaluates credit: with rigorous due diligence, looking for the hidden risks that 'CVs' don't show."
Our Methodology: The Certainty Engine™
Our process is our product.
It is a non-negotiable system built on internationally recognized, certified methodologies to de-risk your investment.
1. Foundational Diagnosis (The 'Doctor's Stance')
Don't just 'take a job brief.'
As a 28-year banking veteran and EMBA, I conduct a peer-to-peer diagnostic to
-
understand your business,
-
your culture, and
-
the 'real' problem you need to solve with your new hire.
2. Scientific Validation (McQuaig®)
We go beyond the CV to assess the "Three-Dimensional Fit™
As a Level 2 Accredited McQuaig Interpreter, we use behavioral diagnostics to ensure deep alignment on temperament and cultural contribution before you meet the candidate.
3. Guaranteed Integration (ADKAR®)
A great hire failing to integrate is a failed hire.
As a Prosci® Certified Change Practitioner, we build a mandatory 90-Day Onboarding Blueprint for every placement.
This ADKAR-based plan—validated by the World Bank in Romania—ensures your new leader delivers value from Day One.
