Executive Background Screening for High-Trust Hires
Comprehensive background investigations for C-suite executives, board members, financial professionals, and other high-trust positions — conducted by a licensed investigator, not an automated database.
When the Stakes Are Too High for a Standard Check
Standard background check packages are built for volume. Executive screening is built for depth. When you're placing a CEO, CFO, board member, or key hire with access to sensitive information or significant financial authority, the investigation needs to go further than a database query.
FactFinders Investigations conducts executive background investigations the way a licensed investigator does — with source verification, direct interviews, and a written report that documents what was found and how. Our lead investigator has 40+ years of experience and is available to discuss findings directly with your board or HR leadership.

What Sets Our Executive Investigations Apart
Licensed Investigator — Not a Database
Every executive investigation is conducted by a licensed private investigator with 40+ years of experience. We verify sources directly rather than relying solely on automated database results.
Written Report With Source Citations
Our reports document every finding with its source — court record, direct contact, or database — so your board and legal counsel can evaluate the methodology, not just the conclusion.
Confidential & Discreet
Executive investigations are conducted with the discretion the position requires. We do not contact the candidate's current employer without authorization.
Direct Investigator Access
Your HR leadership or board can speak directly with our lead investigator to discuss findings, methodology, and risk assessment — not a customer service representative.
