San Francisco, California, July 21, 2026 Conexus, a national advisory, interim management, and executive search firm focused exclusively on the Office of the CFO, today announced the launch of its Bay Area office, marking another milestone in the firm's national expansion strategy.
The Bay Area practice will be led by Raj Patel, a highly regarded finance and accounting search executive with 20 years of experience advising CFOs and finance leaders at venture-backed, private equity-backed, and publicly traded companies across the Bay Area. Prior to executive search, Raj spent eight years in Big Four and Fortune 500 finance and accounting roles, giving him firsthand insight into the challenges facing today's finance organizations.
"Raj is exactly the entrepreneurial leader we're looking for as we continue expanding across the country. The Bay Area is one of the country's most important markets for finance leadership, innovation, and venture capital and private equity investment, and establishing a meaningful presence there has been a strategic priority for Conexus. Raj understands the market, has earned the trust of finance leaders across the Bay Area, and shares our vision of building the premier partner to the Office of the CFO by combining advisory, interim leadership, executive search, and technology consulting into one integrated platform."
Mike Kelly, Chief Executive Officer, Conexus
"Over the years, I've learned that clients don't choose a partner based on size. They choose the one they trust to deliver quality, responsiveness, and results. That philosophy is what attracted me to Conexus. We're building a boutique practice in the Bay Area that combines deep local relationships, exceptional talent, and the breadth of capabilities to help finance organizations navigate growth, transformation, and change. Our goal is simple: to become the first call for CFOs and finance leaders across the Bay Area."
Raj Patel, Partner, Bay Area, Conexus
Backed by MidOcean Partners, Conexus continues to expand at an exceptional pace. Over the past six months, the firm has launched new offices in New York, Connecticut, Chicago, Tampa Bay, San Diego, Salt Lake City, and now the Bay Area. During the past 12 months, Conexus has deployed more than 1,000 consultants and completed more than 500 advisory and executive search engagements for Fortune 1000, middle-market, venture-backed, and private equity-backed companies nationwide.
The Bay Area office will serve clients across San Francisco, Silicon Valley, and the broader Bay Area, providing finance and accounting advisory, interim leadership, executive search, and technology consulting solutions.
