About Tom Hunter
Tom Hunter is the founder of Story Recruitment, a Sydney search firm that recruits accounting and finance staff for founder-led technology, fintech and deep-tech businesses. The firm concentrates on a company's first finance hire and first CFO, and also offers executive search, talent mapping, and hiring and salary guides for finance roles.
Hunter has spent more than nine years placing finance staff in technology businesses. Since 2025 he has hosted The CFO Track, a podcast in which Australian CFOs discuss capital raises, scaling and working with founders. In October 2026 he was a guest on Datarails' FP&A Today podcast, arguing that a startup's first finance hire is often not a CFO.
