About Chanko-Ward Ltd

Chanko-Ward Ltd., a Retainer-Based Management Consulting Firm, was founded in 1967 and has built a successful search practice specializing in detecting, selecting, and assessing acquisition, business growth, and executive-level financial/accounting senior management.

​Our diverse client base includes both publicly and privately owned firms, ranging from emerging high-tech companies to large multi-national corporations.
​
We are proud of our many long-term partnerships, which include American Express (32 years of service), The Blackstone Group (20 years of service), Citicorp (14 years of service), and Sumitomo Corporation of America (twenty years of service).
Our consulting business format is based upon a practiced philosophy of one-to-one personal service. In doing so, we have made a strategic business decision to limit the number of clients that we will be actively engaged with at any given time. By doing this, we ensure that the greatest concentration of our attention will be focused on a specific client and their assignment.
​
Our mission has always been to avoid literally filling boxes on our clients' organizational charts. Rather, the goal is to find applicants who, in addition to possessing the necessary technical skills, are a perfect match for our client's philosophy and culture.
Additionally, the company has been personally involved in guiding individuals in their quest for alternative career opportunities under the leadership of its founder Jim Chanko. This involves creating a formalized search plan, setting goals, networking, and playing the "interview game."
