Green Lion

Green Lion Search is a founder-led recruitment firm specialising in finance, accounting, and investment talent across Texas. Established in 2016, the company places finance professionals at every level, from senior accountants and accounting managers through to chief financial officers and investment directors. Every search is personally managed by Michael Moran, the firm's principal with over 14 years of experience placing finance talent, ensuring that the recruiter who wins your business is the same specialist calling candidates and managing your search from intake to offer.

Green Lion Search focuses exclusively on the finance function and operates three core practices: Accounting and Finance, which covers roles such as senior accountant, controller, financial analyst, FP&A, tax, audit, and VP of Finance; Executive Search, providing confidential, founder-run searches for C-suite and VP leadership positions including Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer; and Investments, serving alternative investment firms with talent for private equity, private credit, infrastructure, venture capital, investment banking, and fund operations. The firm's specialisation means it does not place across all sectors, but rather concentrates its expertise on finance and accounting roles where it can deliver exceptional candidates.

Green Lion Search operates across Austin, Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio, with a national and remote capability for specialised searches. The firm differentiates itself through its founder-led model, transparent recruitment process with no idle weeks, and deep market knowledge of the Texas finance talent landscape. Clients choose Green Lion Search for complex, high-stakes placements where industry experience, specific technical skills, and cultural fit are non-negotiable, supported by the firm's annual Texas Talent Report providing real market data on finance and accounting compensation across major Texas cities.
