The premier executive search partner for specialized credit talent

We understand that ABL and factoring demand a mix of credit risk insight, a strong understanding of the organization’s business and cash flow model, and business development acuity. As active participants in Secured Finance networks, we place candidates who thrive across originations, portfolio management, risk, and structuring. 

We recruit for all facets, including credit, sales, operations, asset/inventory management, and match candidates who understand the balance between risk, residual value, and revenue optimization. 

Your firm needs entrepreneurial, creative executives who can operate in fast-paced, less structured environments. We deliver candidates who bring both domain knowledge and a growth mindset, building out underwriting, operations, portfolio management, and originations functions. 

From commercial to residential, we place professionals across risk, underwriting, capital markets, and structuring roles. Whether you’re expanding or optimizing, our network gives you access to talent that moves deals forward. 

With decades of experience in SBA platforms, we find leaders who can scale originations, underwrite complexity, manage operations, and align with the mission of access to capital. Our candidates combine technical confidence with organizational vision. 

Smith & Wilkinson has completed numerous searches in the specialty finance area and has the vertical industry expertise to help you find the right candidate for the right target market. If your organization needs leaders with a proven track record of serving a specific industry vertical, we have the experience and network to quickly map out and deliver the top talent to your team.
