Bryan Fletcher, Founder — Fletcher Search
About

Built on markets. Not on methodology.

Fletcher Search was founded by Bryan Fletcher — 10 years on the sell-side in spot FX, fund management across multiple asset classes, and now executive search in the markets he knows best: Finance & Accounting, Financial Services & Banking, Trading & Energy.

The firm's positioning is deliberate. Every search is personally run. There are no junior recruiters staffing your roles. No generic database sourcing. No national franchise model. When you work with Fletcher Search, you work with someone who has sat across from CFOs, CLOs, prop traders, and credit analysts — and knows the difference between someone who talks the talk and someone who has actually done the work.

DFW-based and nationally active. Clients include PE-backed portfolio companies, community banks, specialty finance platforms, prop trading firms, and mid-market operators building their finance function for the first time.

Market Expertise First
10 years in sell-side spot FX and fund management across 7 asset classes. Every vertical we work is one we understand from the inside.
Boutique by Design
A small number of searches at any given time means every client gets the attention a national firm would reserve for its biggest retainers.
Candidate Integrity
We don't blast resumes. Every submission is discussed with the candidate, every profile is vetted, and every placement is one we're prepared to stand behind.
Flexible Engagement
Contingency search, retained search, contract placement, EOR, payroll, and temporary staffing — structured around what the engagement actually requires.
Services

How we engage.

Every engagement is structured to fit the actual need — not a one-size model applied to every client.

◎
Contingency Search
No upfront fee. You pay when the right person starts. The right model for most mid-market searches where speed and fit are the primary drivers.

Retained Search
For senior, confidential, or hard-to-fill roles requiring dedicated bandwidth and a structured process. CFO, CLO, and VP-level searches typically benefit from this model.

For Candidates

Early in your career. Let's talk now.

Most recruiters only call when they have an open role. That's too late for you and too transactional for both of us.

If you're 1–4 years into a career in finance, accounting, banking, or trading — I want to know you before you're actively looking. The best opportunities move fast and go to people who are already known. Getting ahead of that takes 15 minutes and a conversation, not a job application.

I work in markets I understand. That means I can give you an honest read on your trajectory, where your background is most valuable, what compensation looks like at the next level, and what hiring managers in DFW and nationally are actually evaluating right now.

There's no cost, no commitment, and no pressure. If the right opportunity comes across my desk six months from now, you'll be the first call.

1
Submit your background
Takes 2 minutes. I review every submission personally — no ATS black hole.
2
We have a real conversation
15–20 minutes. I give you market intelligence, comp context, and an honest assessment of where you sit.
3
You're in the network
When the right role comes up — whether that's in 30 days or 18 months — you hear about it before it's posted.
Tell me about yourself
No resume required. Just enough for me to understand where you are and where you're headed.
Testimonials

What clients say.

"Bryan brought a level of market understanding I haven't seen from other search firms. He knew exactly what we needed before we fully articulated it ourselves — and delivered."
Adam Rice
CFO, SWK Holdings
"What sets Bryan apart is that he actually understands the roles he's filling. He's not matching keywords — he's matching people to businesses. That makes a real difference at the offer stage."
Richard Bayyouk
Director, MMC Group
Insights

From the desk.

Market intelligence, hiring guides, and observations from the DFW finance and banking talent market.

SBA Lending
What to Look for When Hiring an SBA Business Development Officer
Most BDO searches fail before they start. The mistake is treating SBA origination like a generalist lending role. Here's what separates producers from placeholders — and how to screen for it before the interview.

Finance & Accounting
How to Hire a Controller for a Mid-Market Company
A Controller search looks straightforward until it isn't. The profile that works at a $10M company often fails at $50M — and vice versa. What to define before you start, and where most hiring managers get it wrong.
