	Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
	Description of Business — CTPartners Executive Search Inc. along with its subsidiaries (collectively, CTPartners or the Company), is a retained executive search firm with global executive search capabilities. The Company operates in North America, Europe and the Middle East (EMEA), Asia Pacific and Latin America.The Company is subject to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), and the relevant provisions of the Securities Acts of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company's common stock trades on the NYSE MKT exchange under the symbol "CTP".
	Principles of Consolidation — The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CTPartners Executive Search Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
	Concentration of Risk — The Company maintains balances at financial institutions which may, at times, exceed amounts federally insured in the U.S. and foreign countries. No losses have been incurred on such deposits.
	Revenue Recognition — Substantially all revenue is derived from fees for professional services related to executive search services. Revenue before reimbursements of direct expenses (“net revenue”) consists of: retainer fees; indirect expenses billed to clients; supplemental fees (fees contractually due to the Company if the actual compensation of the placed candidate exceeds the estimated compensation on which the retainer fee was based or the client hires other candidates presented by the Company for positions not related to the original search assignment). Retainer fees and indirect expenses from executive search engagements are recognized when earned and realizable, typically over the expected average period of performance in proportion to the estimated effort incurred to fulfill our obligations under the engagements. Any supplemental fees, resulting from actual compensation of the placed candidate exceeding the estimated compensation, are recognized upon the occurrence of the event triggering the payment of a supplemental fee.
	Reimbursements — The Company incurs out-of-pocket expenses that are generally reimbursed by its clients, which are accounted for as revenue in its consolidated statements of operations.
	Accounts Receivable — The Company extends credit to customers under normal trade agreements. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established based upon several factors, including the age of the Company’s accounts receivable, historic loss experience, specific account analysis, as well as expectations of future collections based upon trends, financial viability of the client, and historic collection experience. The Company also provides a reserve for billing adjustments based upon historical experience.
	Leasehold Improvements and Equipment — Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the useful life of equipment, or in the case of leasehold improvements, the shorter of the life of the improvement or the length of the lease as follows:
	Leasehold improvements	3-10 years
	Office furniture, fixtures and equipment	5-7 years
	Computer equipment and software	3-5 years
	Leasehold improvements and equipment are carried at cost less allowances for depreciation and amortization. Ordinary maintenance and repairs are charged against earnings when incurred. Additions and major repairs are capitalized if they extend the useful life of the related asset.
	Deferred Rent — The Company recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Deferred rent is recognized for the excess of rental expense over rental payments. The portion of deferred rent which will not be recognized into the consolidated statement of operations within one year is included as a long-term liability on the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2013, and 2012.
	Share-Based Compensation — The Company has an equity incentive plan under which the Board of Directors may grant restricted stock or stock options to employees and consultants. Share based compensation cost is measured on the grant date fair value of the award, and recognized in the financial statements over the requisite service period.
	Income Taxes — The Company’s subsidiaries are subject to entity-level income taxes in their respective foreign jurisdictions. For U.S. tax purposes, the Company has made an election to include the income or loss of its global subsidiaries in the consolidated US tax return. CTPartners pays US tax on its worldwide income, reduced by income tax credits for foreign income taxes incurred.
	Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, tax credit carryforwards and deferred liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
	Management evaluated the Company’s tax positions and concluded that the Company had taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the consolidated financial statements. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to tax examinations by the U.S. federal, state or local tax authorities for years prior to 2010. When and if applicable, potential interest and penalty costs are accrued as incurred, with expenses recognized in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations. For non-US locations, the Company is no longer subject to audit examinations prior to 2010, except for the United Kingdom which extends to 2005. When and if applicable, potential interest and penalty costs are accrued as incurred, with expenses recognized in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.
	Foreign Currency Translation — The Company generally designates the local currency for all its foreign subsidiaries as the functional currency, except for Venezuela, as discussed below. Accordingly, assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated at the exchange rate in effect at each period. The results of operations are translated at the average monthly rate of exchange. Translation adjustments arising from the use of differing exchange rates from period to period are recorded as part of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Gains and losses from transactions denominated in non-functional currency are included in operating results for the period. For 2013 and 2012, net foreign currency gains (losses) included in net loss were :
		Year Ended			Year Ended
		December 31,			December 31,
		2013			2012
	Net foreign currency gain/(loss)	$	(1,139	)	$	468
	Venezuela
	As further described in Note 2, effective January 2, 2012, the Company purchased its Latin American licensee, including operations in Venezuela. The economy in Venezuela has had significant inflation in the last several years. At the time of the acquisition, the Venezuelan economy was designated as highly inflationary, and is accounted for pursuant to accounting guidance for highly inflationary economies. Therefore, the U.S. dollar is designated to be the functional currency of our Venezuelan operations, and any gain or loss resulting from foreign currency translation is reflected in the general and administrative expenses in Company's results of operations.
	The Venezuelan Central Bank is the only institution through which foreign currency-denominated transactions can be brokered. Under the system known as the Foreign Currency Securities Transactions System (SITME), entities domiciled in Venezuela can buy U.S. dollar-denominated securities only through banks authorized by Venezuelan Central Bank to import goods, services, or capital inputs. SITME imposes volume restrictions on an entity's trading activity, limiting such activity to a maximum amount equivalent of $50,000 per day, not exceeding $350,000 in a calendar month. This limitation is non-cumulative. Given the limited availability of alternative exchange mechanisms in Venezuela, the Company used the published SITME rate to re-measure transactions denominated in Bolivars. In February of 2013, the Venezuelan government eliminated the SITME rate and devalued its currency. As of December 31, 2013, the exchange rate was 6.30 Bolivares per U.S. dollar. During the twelve months ending December 31, 2013, the Company's Venezuelan operations generated 1.96% of consolidated net revenue.
	Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss — The Company’s accumulated other comprehensive (loss), net of tax, is comprised of, and related to, the following:
		December 31,			December 31,
		2013			2012
	Foreign currency translation adjustments	(1,088		)	(1,170		)
	Other	(187		)	(187		)
		$	(1,275	)	$	(1,357	)
	Financial Instruments — Cash is stated at cost, which approximates fair market value. The carrying value for account receivables, accounts payable, and other accrued liabilities reasonably approximates fair market value due to the nature of the financial instruments and the short term nature of the item. In 2012, the Company recorded two notes payable to seller in the process of acquiring our Latin America licensee and expanding our French operations by acquiring Cheverny CEO Search, S.A. In 2013, the Company recorded two additional notes payable to seller in connection with acquisition of Augmentum and Taylor Consulting. These notes were recorded at fair value at the time of acquisition.
	Fair Value — The Company measures the fair values in accordance with accounting guidance that defines fair value, provides guidance for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures. The guidance also discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow) and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). The guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:
	•	Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
	•	Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
	•	Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions.
	The inputs used in the fair value measurement should be from the highest level available. In instances where the measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the fair value measurement will fall within the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
	Goodwill - Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, if any. The goodwill impairment test compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, goodwill of the reporting unit would be considered impaired. To measure the amount of the impairment loss, the implied fair value of a reporting unit's goodwill is compared to the carrying amount of that goodwill. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit's goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is indicated. The Company conducted its annual goodwill impairment evaluation as of December 1, 2013. For this test, the fair value of the Company's relevant reporting unit is determined using a combination of valuation techniques, including a discounted cash flow methodology. The discounted cash flow approach is dependent on a number of factors, including estimates of future market growth and trends, forecasted revenue and costs, and the appropriate discount rates. The completion of the first step of the goodwill impairment indicated that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded its carrying amount. The Company further evaluated the period from December 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013 and concluded that there were no indicators of impairment with respect to the Company's goodwill.
	Intangible Assets - Intangible assets primarily consist of customer relationships, developed technology and trademarks, and are recorded at their estimated fair value at the date of acquisition. Customer relationships and developed technology are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of 10 years. Certain trademarks are considered indefinite-lived intangible assets, and must be tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if the events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired.During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $0.6 million, relating to intangible assets acquired in Cheverny CEO Search, S.A. business combination.
	Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest - On May 2, 2013, the Company acquired a 51% controlling ownership interest in Augmentum. The Company has the right to call the remaining 49% interest, and Augmentum shareholders have the right to put the remaining 49% interest for a limited amount of time after the first anniversary of acquisition, at a pre-determined price, adjustable based on certain revenue targets. The "put" option expires on September 12, 2014, if not exercised, and the call option continues to exist indefinitely. The put option requires the noncontrolling interest to be classified as redeemable, recorded in the mezzanine equity on the Company's consolidated balance sheet, and measured at the greater of estimated redemption value, which approximates fair value, at the end of each reporting period or the historic cost basis. The resulting increases or decreases in the estimated redemption amount are affected by corresponding charges or credits against retained earnings, or in the absence of retained earnings, additional paid in capital. If the put option becomes no longer exercisable, the redeemable noncontrolling interest will be reclassified to noncontrolling interest and included in the permanent equity on the Company's consolidated balance sheet.
	Reclassifications — Certain items in the 2012 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2013 presentation.

	Taylor Executive Consultancy Latam S. de R.L.
	On November 5, 2013, the Company acquired Taylor executive Consultancy Latam S. de R.L. ("Taylor Consultancy"), a Mexico-based executive search firm. The purchase price consists of $0.2 million of initial cash payment, and a contingent consideration based on certain revenue targets, ranging from zero to $0.7 million. As a result, the Company recorded $0.1 million, representing the fair value of contingent consideration. As part of purchase price allocation, the Company recorded $0.1 million of identifiable intangible assets, and $0.2 million of goodwill. The acquisition is not considered material, and therefore, pro-forma information has not been presented.
	Augmentum Consulting, Ltd.
	On May 2, 2013, the Company acquired a 51% controlling ownership interest in Augmentum Consulting, Ltd. ("Augmentum"), a London based search firm. This acquisition complements CTPartners' existing UK business in a variety of practice areas, provides increased competitive advantage and enhances growth opportunity.
	The Company paid $1.5 million in cash on the acquisition date, recorded a seller note payable valued at $2.5 million, payable in two installments on August 31, 2014 and 2015, and a redeemable noncontrolling interest of $3.8 million. The aggregate maximum purchase price may be adjusted based on certain revenue targets over 3 years, not to exceed $8.6 million in total.
	The following table summarizes the fair values of the consideration transferred, assets acquired and liabilities assumed, at acquisition date:
	Fair value of consideration transferred:
	Cash	$	1,500
	Seller note payable for contingent consideration	2,490
	Total	3,990
	Fair value of redeemable noncontrolling interest	3,849
		$	7,839

	Accounts payable and accrued expenses	(1,725		)
	Total identifiable net assets	2,717
	Goodwill	5,122
	Total fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed	$	7,839
	The weighted average useful life of total amortizable intangible assets acquired is 8.5 years.
	The acquisition of Augmentum includes a contingent consideration arrangement, that allows for adjustment of payments based upon achievement of certain revenue targets over the next three years. The range of undiscounted amounts that the Company could pay for the contingent part of its 51% controlling ownership interest is between zero and $2.9 million, denominated in British pounds and translated at the rate in effect at the end of reporting period.
	The Company has the right to call the remaining 49% interest in Augmentum after August 2, 2014, and Augmentum shareholders have the right to put the remaining 49% interest after September 1, 2014 if the call option has not been exercised, at a pre-determined price, adjustable based on Augmentum's performance. The put option expires on September 12, 2014, if not exercised, and the call option continues to exist indefinitely. The purchase price for the non-controlling interest is determined based on the same formula as contingent consideration, with maximum amount payable of $4.3 million, denominated in British pounds and translated at the rate in effect at the end of the reporting period. As of December 31, 2013, the redemption value of non-controlling interest was $4.1 million.
	Activity related to the noncontrolling redeemable interest is as follows:
	Beginning balance on January 1, 2013	$	—
	Noncontrolling redeemable interest recorded in acquisition of Augmentum	3,765
	Net loss attributable to noncontrolling redeemable interest	(138		)
	Redemption value adjustment	138
	Foreign currency	323
	Ending balance on December 31, 2013	$	4,088
	The fair value of contingent consideration and the fair value of noncontrolling interest, including the value of the put and the call options, is contingent upon the acquired business revenues, and was estimated through the use of the Monte Carlo model. These fair value measurements are based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represent a Level 3 measurement. These fair value measurements are based on (i) an assumed revenue forecast, (ii) an assumed discount rate of 6.5%, and (iii) assumed market volatility rate range of 10%-12.5% based on the volatility data for companies similar to Augmentum. The fair value of the note payable for contingent consideration recognized on the acquisition date was $2.5 million, and the fair value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest was $3.8 million. There have been no changes in the assumptions used in the valuing of the contingent consideration and the redeemable noncontrolling interest.
	The fair value of identifiable intangible assets was measured based upon significant inputs that were not observable in the market, and therefore are classified as Level 3. The key assumptions include (i) management's projection of future cash flows based upon past experience and future expectations, and (ii) an assumed discount rate of 18.5%.
	The goodwill of $5.1 million is attributable to the workforce of the acquired business and the synergies expected to arise in connection with the acquisition. The goodwill relating to the Company's acquisition of Augmentum is fully deductible for United States federal income tax purposes.
	The Company incurred acquisition related costs of $0.7 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, which were recorded as general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.
	Total revenues and net income attributable to the acquisition, since the acquisition date, included in the consolidated statement of operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, are as follows:

	Cheverny CEO Search, S.A.
	On October 10, 2012, the Company completed an acquisition of Cheverny CEO Search, S.A., a Paris, France based search firm focused on executive recruiting. The first payment of $0.5 million was made in cash on the acquisition date, and a non-interest bearing seller note was issued for the remainder. The note was recorded at fair value of $1.0 million. The note is payable in two installments of $0.5 million each on July 12, 2013 and July 12, 2014. A portion of the total purchase price was contingent upon the continued employment of the acquiree. Therefore, the contingent portion of the purchase price is accounted for as compensation for post-combination services, recognized over the requisite service period using the graded-vesting method. Post-combination compensation expense of $0.2 million is included in the results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2012. During the quarter ending March 31, 2013, the Company modified the terms of the Cheverny CEO Search, S.A. acquisition agreement, terminating all employment contingencies. As a result of the amendment, the Company recognized remaining post combination compensation and incurred a non-recurring charge of $0.8 million relating to Cheverny CEO Search, S.A. post-combination compensation in the first quarter of 2013. The charge is included in compensation and benefits expenses in the consolidated statement of operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013.
	The table below summarizes fair value of the consideration paid and assets acquired at the acquisition date. The acquisition is not considered material to the Company, and, therefore, pro-forma information has not been presented.

The fair value of the identifiable intangible assets was measured based upon significant inputs that were not observable in the market, and therefore are classified as Level 3. Key assumptions included in determination of fair value are (a) management’s projections of future cash flows based upon past experience and future expectations and (b) a weighted-average discount rate of 16%.
The fair value assigned to identifiable intangible assets and their useful lives at the acquisition date is as follows:

Latin America
Effective January 2, 2012, the Company completed its acquisition of stock of the direct and indirect subsidiaries of CTPartners Latin America Inc., its independently-owned licensee that had been operating under the name of CTPartners in Latin America for the past five years. The Company’s Latin America offices are in Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Panama, Peru, and Venezuela. The Company believes the acquisition further strengthens its brand in Latin America by making the Company a more attractive platform for our local, regional and global clients looking to invest in the region, and for attracting and retaining talented employees. The results of the Company’s Latin America offices have been included in the consolidated financial statements since that date.
The assets acquired were recorded at fair value. The aggregate purchase price in the agreement was $10.2 million which was paid in cash and the issuance of a non-interest bearing seller note for $5.3 million. The note has been discounted by the Company in the amount of $0.3 million to reflect fair value of the note. This amount is due in equal installments of $2.6 million each on January 2, 2013 and January 2, 2014 respectively. A portion of the total purchase price was contingent upon the continued employment of certain key employees. The purchase agreement provided that the selling shareholders were required to repay to the company up to the aggregate amount of $7.2 million if their employment terminated prior to the 36-month anniversary of the closing of the transaction. Therefore, the contingent portion of the purchase price was accounted for as compensation for post-combination services, and recognized over three years using the graded-vesting method. After accounting for a portion of the purchase price as post-combination compensation, the fair value of the consideration allocation to the assets and liabilities acquired was $3.0 million. Post-combination compensation expense of $6.1 million was included in the results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2012.
During the quarter ending March 31, 2013, the Company modified the terms of the Latin America acquisition agreement, terminating all employment contingencies. As a result of the amendment, the Company recognized the remaining post-combination compensation expense, and incurred a non-recurring charge of $1.1 million relating to Latin America post-combination compensation in the first quarter of 2013. The charge is included in compensation and benefits expenses in the consolidated statement of operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013.
The following table summarizes fair value of the consideration paid and assets acquired at the acquisition date:
Consideration:
Cash	$	5,250
Seller note payable	4,987
Post combination compensation	(7,190		)
	$	3,047
Recognized amounts of identifiable assets acquired:
Leasehold improvements and equipment	$	132
Intangible assets	2,700
Total identifiable net assets acquired	2,832
Goodwill	215
	$	3,047
Goodwill of $0.2 million arising from the acquisition consists mainly of the synergies of an ongoing, retained executive search business which operates as a cooperative group in seven Latin American countries, a consistent brand message, and an experienced, assembled workforce. The goodwill relating to the Company’s Latin America reporting unit is fully deductible for United States federal income tax purposes.
The fair value of the identifiable intangible assets was measured based upon significant inputs that were not observable in the market, and therefore are classified as Level 3. The fair value was provided by an independent valuation firm; key assumptions included (a) management’s projections of future cash flows based upon past experience and future expectations and (b) a weighted-average discount rate of 18.9%.
The fair value assigned to identifiable intangible assets and their useful lives at the acquisition date is as follows:
	Amount				Useful
					Life
Customer relationships	$	2,480			10 years
Developed technology	220				10 years
	$	2,700
The weighted-average useful life of total amortizable intangible assets acquired is 10 years.

	Line of Credit: The Company is a party to a credit and security agreement (the “Second Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement” or “Credit Agreement”) with a bank which includes a revolving credit facility. The Agreement, as amended, provides for the revolving credit facility to expire on April 30, 2015. Under the terms of the revolving credit facility, the Company may borrow an amount equal to the lesser of $14 million or the “Borrowing Base” (the Company’s eligible accounts receivable as defined in the Credit Agreement), with interest calculated at 325 basis points above the LIBOR rate as defined in the revolving credit agreement (the adjusted LIBOR rate), which was 3.4140% at December 31, 2013. The Company had no borrowings on the revolving credit facility at December 31, 2013 and 2012. Additionally, the Company has issued letters of credit related to office lease agreements secured by the Credit Agreement in the amounts of $3.3 million as of December 31, 2013 and 2012.

		$	6,057
	Notes Payable — Redemption of Members’ Units: Prior to the conversion from a limited liability company to a corporation, the Company periodically purchased member units from former members, with payment in the form of notes, payable over 5 years. The total due on these notes amounted to $0.3 million and $0.5 million at December 31, 2013, and 2012, respectively. The interest on the notes ranges from 2.66% to 5.00%. The carrying value of notes payable approximates its fair value.
	Notes Payable — Seller Financed Acquisitions: During the year ended December 2013, the Company completed two acquisitions, as further described in Note 2. Purchase price was, in part, financed through seller notes. In conjunction with the acquisition of Augmentum, the Company recorded a note payable to the seller in connection with the contingent purchase price. The note was recorded at fair value at acquisition, and is re-measured every reporting period, as further described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2013, $2.4 million is outstanding, payable in two equal installments on August 31, 2014 and August 31, 2015.
	The Company recorded a note payable associated with Taylor Consultancy in the amount of $0.1 million. The note is recorded at fair value of contingent consideration.
	During the year ended December 2012, the Company completed two acquisitions. The note payable associated with the Latin America acquisition is a non-interest bearing note with a face value of $5.3 million. As of December 31, 2013, $2.6 million was outstanding.
	The seller financed note payable associated with the Cheverny CEO Search, S.A. is a non-interest bearing note with a face value of $1.1 million. As of December 31, 2013, $0.5 million was outstanding. The final installment is payable on July 12, 2014.
	Fair value of seller financed notes payable is estimated by discounting the associated cash flows using the interest rate available to the Company. The fair value of notes payable is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. There have been no changes in interest rates available to the Company since the acquisitions completed during the reported period, therefore the carrying value of the notes approximates fair value at December 31, 2013.

	The expected term of the option life is based on a simplified method calculated as the sum of the vesting term and original contract term divided by two. The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury zero coupon issues with a remaining term equal to the expected option life. The expected volatility is based on the average volatility for similar publicly traded companies corresponding to the expected life of the option because the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock does not cover the period equal to the expected life of the options.
	Employee Stock Purchase Program - The stock discount purchase program allows selected employees to purchase up to $0.1 million of the Company's stock in lieu of cash bonuses, at a 15% discount to the NYSE MKT trading price of those shares. Shares are subject to ratable vesting over a three-year period, and compensation expense relating to the discount is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

Reorganization	'
	Reorganization
	In the third quarter of 2012, the Company’s management initiated a plan to reorganize its operations resulting in certain organizational changes in its Canadian and EMEA locations. The plan consists of a workforce reorganization, and elimination of redundant or unneeded positions, which will allow the Company to combine business operations in certain geographic locations and serve our clients more efficiently. During 2013, the Company expanded its reorganization efforts globally, eliminating certain functions. The Company recognized $0.8 million and $1.0 million of reorganization related charges for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, which are included in compensation and benefits expense and general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
	The following table summarizes the major components of the reorganization charge:
		Year Ended December 31, 2013			Year Ended December 31, 2012

	On March 3, 2014, CTPartners Executive Search Inc (the”Company”) acquired J. Johnson Executive Search, a leading independent executive search and leadership advisory firm based in Sydney, Australia. Under the terms of the contract, the Company paid $2.4 million of initial consideration at closing. The Company expects to pay additional consideration based on the achievement of certain revenue metrics over the next three years. The Company is in process of determining the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. Pro forma information is not available at this time.

Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2013
Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Principles of Consolidation	'
	The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CTPartners Executive Search Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Concentration of Risk	'
	The Company maintains balances at financial institutions which may, at times, exceed amounts federally insured in the U.S. and foreign countries. No losses have been incurred on such deposits.
Revenue Recognition	'
	Substantially all revenue is derived from fees for professional services related to executive search services. Revenue before reimbursements of direct expenses (“net revenue”) consists of: retainer fees; indirect expenses billed to clients; supplemental fees (fees contractually due to the Company if the actual compensation of the placed candidate exceeds the estimated compensation on which the retainer fee was based or the client hires other candidates presented by the Company for positions not related to the original search assignment). Retainer fees and indirect expenses from executive search engagements are recognized when earned and realizable, typically over the expected average period of performance in proportion to the estimated effort incurred to fulfill our obligations under the engagements. Any supplemental fees, resulting from actual compensation of the placed candidate exceeding the estimated compensation, are recognized upon the occurrence of the event triggering the payment of a supplemental fee.
Reimbursements	'
	The Company incurs out-of-pocket expenses that are generally reimbursed by its clients, which are accounted for as revenue in its consolidated statements of operations.
Accounts Receivable	'
	The Company extends credit to customers under normal trade agreements. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established based upon several factors, including the age of the Company’s accounts receivable, historic loss experience, specific account analysis, as well as expectations of future collections based upon trends, financial viability of the client, and historic collection experience. The Company also provides a reserve for billing adjustments based upon historical experience.
Leasehold Improvements and Equipment	'
	Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the useful life of equipment, or in the case of leasehold improvements, the shorter of the life of the improvement or the length of the lease as follows:
	Leasehold improvements	3-10 years
	Office furniture, fixtures and equipment	5-7 years
	Computer equipment and software	3-5 years
	Leasehold improvements and equipment are carried at cost less allowances for depreciation and amortization. Ordinary maintenance and repairs are charged against earnings when incurred. Additions and major repairs are capitalized if they extend the useful life of the related asset.
Deferred Rent	'
	The Company recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Deferred rent is recognized for the excess of rental expense over rental payments.
Share-Based Compensation	'
	The Company has an equity incentive plan under which the Board of Directors may grant restricted stock or stock options to employees and consultants. Share based compensation cost is measured on the grant date fair value of the award, and recognized in the financial statements over the requisite service period.
Income Taxes	'
	The Company’s subsidiaries are subject to entity-level income taxes in their respective foreign jurisdictions. For U.S. tax purposes, the Company has made an election to include the income or loss of its global subsidiaries in the consolidated US tax return. CTPartners pays US tax on its worldwide income, reduced by income tax credits for foreign income taxes incurred.
	Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, tax credit carryforwards and deferred liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
	Management evaluated the Company’s tax positions and concluded that the Company had taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the consolidated financial statements. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to tax examinations by the U.S. federal, state or local tax authorities for years prior to 2010. When and if applicable, potential interest and penalty costs are accrued as incurred, with expenses recognized in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations. For non-US locations, the Company is no longer subject to audit examinations prior to 2010, except for the United Kingdom which extends to 2005. When and if applicable, potential interest and penalty costs are accrued as incurred, with expenses recognized in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.
Foreign Currency Translations	'
	The Company generally designates the local currency for all its foreign subsidiaries as the functional currency, except for Venezuela, as discussed below. Accordingly, assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated at the exchange rate in effect at each period. The results of operations are translated at the average monthly rate of exchange. Translation adjustments arising from the use of differing exchange rates from period to period are recorded as part of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Gains and losses from transactions denominated in non-functional currency are included in operating results for the period.
Financial Instruments	'
	Cash is stated at cost, which approximates fair market value. The carrying value for account receivables, accounts payable, and other accrued liabilities reasonably approximates fair market value due to the nature of the financial instruments and the short term nature of the item. In 2012, the Company recorded two notes payable to seller in the process of acquiring our Latin America licensee and expanding our French operations by acquiring Cheverny CEO Search, S.A. In 2013, the Company recorded two additional notes payable to seller in connection with acquisition of Augmentum and Taylor Consulting. These notes were recorded at fair value at the time of acquisition.
Fair Value	'
	The Company measures the fair values in accordance with accounting guidance that defines fair value, provides guidance for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures. The guidance also discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow) and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). The guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:
	•	Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
	•	Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
	•	Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions.
	The inputs used in the fair value measurement should be from the highest level available. In instances where the measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the fair value measurement will fall within the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
Goodwill	'
	Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, if any. The goodwill impairment test compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, goodwill of the reporting unit would be considered impaired. To measure the amount of the impairment loss, the implied fair value of a reporting unit's goodwill is compared to the carrying amount of that goodwill. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit's goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is indicated.
Intangible Assets	'
	Intangible assets primarily consist of customer relationships, developed technology and trademarks, and are recorded at their estimated fair value at the date of acquisition. Customer relationships and developed technology are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of 10 years. Certain trademarks are considered indefinite-lived intangible assets, and must be tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if the events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired.
