The
Right Fit
at the
Right Time
The Executive Finance Group Inc. specializes in
the recruitment of IT and Finance/Accounting pro-
fessionals. We recognize that fit is key and the
right fit at the right time is paramount when build-
ing a productive and cohesive team. We ensure
that we fully assess the needs of both our clients
and candidates so we can leverage both parties’
goals. We make it a priority to foster long lasting
relationships by treating both client and candidate
with integrity and delivering optimal human capi-
tal solutions and fostering results.

Flexible & Creative Solutions
We provide flexible and customized human capital solutions
aligned with our clients’ short term and long term business strate-
gies. We recognize that clients have different needs and we tailor
our search and solutions to fit those individual needs.

Talent Management
Recruiting top talent is just the first step in Human Capital Man-
agement. Today’s organizations need to ensure they have the
proper infrastructure in place in order to keep their talent and top
performers motivated and engaged; or risk losing them altogether.

Unlimited opportunities
We find flexible and innovative opportunities for both candidates
and clients to facilitate career and business strategies. We will
partner with clients to support the entire organization by immedi-
ate impact on their business objectives.
Do you have the right solutions

in which our firm supports and appreciates the strength in our organizational strategies.

Our vision is to be respected and recognized as industry leaders known for: our steadfast commitment to provide the highest quality serv-
ice to both our clients and candidates; being leaders in human capital management and solutions; our unwavering dedication to our core
strategies and business integrity.

Our Difference
We at The Executive Finance Group Inc. recognize the parallels between IT and Finance and we bridge the gap between the two verticals.
Our breadth of knowledge and insight create an obvious difference in the TEFG advantage. We understand and appreciate the importance
of becoming an extension of your team and building a long-term strategic partnership to facilitate your business goals and strategies. We
also differentiate ourselves by recognising that every business is different and therefore requires personal and tailored solutions and flex-
ibly to meet your individual needs.

of skills, personal attributes and competencies.

Social Responsibility
What does that really mean?
This means that we go out of our way to give something
back. We believe in valuing our environment – both social
and physical. We are constantly striving towards a better
way of doing business, starting with the basics that we are
already committed to – ranging from recycling all our paper
to using 80% bio-degradable pens in our offices. We are
dedicated to an awareness of the environment and we strive
to make our business more environmentally friendly wher-
ever we can. We revisit our policy regularly and are always
open to new ideas that could improve our existing practices.


How does TEFG help in the community?
We are committed to giving something back to our com-
munity – both locally and in the wider world. The Exe c u tive
Finance Group Inc. currently has a special program in place
where 1% of every invoice generated will be donated to a
special local charity.
The Executive Finance Group Inc. also regularly undertakes
volunteering days out for the whole company —making
sure that everyone in our team is involved in giving some-
thing back. These volunteering days help the T E FG
o rg a n isation to be aware of our Social Responsibility
commitments, and to build a strong sense of team. Of
course, they also provide essential practical help and
support to some of Toronto’s neediest charities. We all
enjoy feeling that we are helping to improve our community
and environment, and the involvement of all employees is a
key TEFG commitment.
