Our Story
512Financial was founded in 2022 by Bart Davis and Joel Trammell, operators who watched growth outpace financial and people infrastructure inside venture-backed companies. In 2025, acquiring HireBetter and Austin People Works added executive search and HR. We believe readiness is an operating discipline, so our full-time, salaried operators build foundations that grow with each stage. We’ve done our job when a founder doesn’t need us, and we help place the full-time leader for what comes next.
What Sets Us Apart
Finance and People Leadership Under One Roof
Our finance, accounting, transaction advisory, people operations, and talent teams work from the same view of your business. Your CFO and HR leader are aligned on headcount, budget, and timing, so decisions in one function account for the other.Full-Time Operators Embedded in Your Team
We built our firm with full-time, salaried professionals, including former CFOs and Big 4-trained finance leaders. Our operators step inside your business, learn it quickly, and stay focused on the work in front of them.Built for Your Next Stage
We treat readiness as an operating discipline, building finance and people infrastructure that grows with each funding stage. When you’re ready for a full-time executive, our Executive Retained Search team places the right leader, and 96% of placed executives remain in role after 24 months.Verified means Clutch independently confirmed 512Financial is a legally registered business,
