Hiring Smarter — A Finance-Led Approach That Works
Hiring great finance talent isn’t just about finding someone who can do the job on paper. It’s about finding someone who understands your business, fits the team, and adds long-term value.
After spending over a decade in senior finance roles, most recently as a Head of Finance for a high growth PE portfolio company, I know exactly what’s at stake when you’re hiring. I’ve built teams, worked with recruiters, made the right calls — and sometimes the wrong ones. That experience is what now drives how I work as a recruiter.
I’ve Sat Where You Sit
I’m not coming at this from the outside. I’ve scoped roles, felt the pressure of year-end, and led interviews with a finance director breathing down my neck. I understand the difference between someone who looks good on paper and someone who’ll genuinely deliver — because I’ve had to make those decisions myself.
That’s why I take a more consultative approach to recruitment. It’s not about firing out CVs and hoping one sticks. It’s about understanding what you need — not just technically, but culturally and commercially — and finding someone who fits that picture.
What You Can Expect Working With Me
Real Conversations About Your Business
I’m not here to guess what you need. I’ll ask the right questions, get under the skin of your business, and make sure I understand the dynamics of your team before anything else.
Access to Candidates You Won’t Find on Job Boards
The best people often aren’t actively looking. I focus on building real relationships with finance professionals, so I can tap into high-quality, passive talent when the right role comes along.
A Proper Understanding of the Role
I’ve hired Financial Controllers, Analysts, Credit Managers — I know the difference, and I know the stakes. I’m not just reading off a job spec — I’m looking for people who’ll perform, grow, and stick around.
No Cookie-Cutter Approach
Every business is different. I tailor the search process to suit you — your culture, your challenges, and the way you like to work. It’s a partnership, not a transaction.
Candidates Treated Like People
The way you treat candidates reflects on your brand. I make sure everyone in your process feels respected and informed, whether they get the job or not. That kind of experience matters — and candidates remember it.
Insight You Can Actually Use
I’ll share what I’m seeing in the market — salaries, movement, expectations — so you can make smart hiring decisions with your eyes wide open.
A Long-Term Hiring Partner
I’m not here to make a quick fee and disappear. I want to build long-term relationships with businesses I understand and believe in. Whether you're growing a team from scratch or replacing a key player, I’ll work with you to get it right — not just fast.
