What Conexus does

Conexus Advisors (formerly Conexus Recruiting) is a US-based executive search and interim consulting firm founded in 2012 and headquartered in Southern California (Glendale). The firm is horizontally specialized in finance, accounting, technology, and human resources talent, with a vertical emphasis on the Office of the CFO. It generates revenue through two streams: one-time executive search and direct-hire placement fees, and professional-services fees for interim consulting engagements (the Conexus Advisors, Interim Solutions, and Executive Search service lines). Reported 2025 operating scale includes 1,000+ consultants deployed over the program's lifetime, 400+ executive searches completed, 7,500+ candidate interviews, 350+ direct-hire placements (MBAs, CPAs, HR and Technology professionals), and 700+ interim and advisory projects, supported by a network of 290 interim consultants averaging 15+ years of experience.

The firm's go-to-market is high-touch, relationship-driven, and selective. Distribution runs primarily through direct enterprise sales targeting private equity firms and corporate clients that require finance and accounting leadership, with 96% repeat-client and 94% search-completion rates serving as the dominant commercial credibility signals. Ancillary channels include LinkedIn, a top-of-funnel "Top 5 Reasons" PEG Guide, and an annual 2026 Salary Guide (CFO, Technology and HR Leaders Employment Market Compensation Study) that functions as a mid-funnel content marketing and lead-generation asset. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.

Conexus is privately held, with MidOcean Partners providing a private equity investment in January 2024 that underwrites a roll-up and geographic expansion strategy. The firm acquired Logis, a Southern California competitor in Office of the CFO staffing, in November 2023, and CV Resources in December 2024. In 2026 the firm expanded beyond Southern California with a Salt Lake City office, followed in March 2026 by its first East Coast offices in New York and Connecticut, targeting national private equity clients and the tri-state area under Partner David Erickson.
