We’re here to shape and execute your talent strategy. While we excel in executive search, we know that true organisational strength often lies in those less glamorous but equally crucial roles. Finding the perfect Systems Accountant for your Oracle implementation or the ideal FP&A specialist to elevate your business partnering? That's where we thrive.

Transformational Talent Goes Beyond the Board

We've got a track record in placing CFOs and Finance Directors that speaks for itself.

Our team brings deep, nuanced understanding to every financial services niche:

  • From syndicate reporting to ESG & sustainability reporting
  • Navigating IFRS 9, 17, 4, UK GAAP, US GAAP, and LUX GAAP
  • Unearthing senior project accountants who can drive specific initiatives

We've honed our expertise through years of successful campaigns across the financial spectrum. So whether you're looking to fill a C-suite position or build out an entire finance function, we're your go-to partners.
