Specialist accountancy practice recruitment
Senior Accountant Recruitment for Accountancy Practices
We recruit experienced accountants, managers, auditors and senior practice professionals for permanent and contract roles throughout the UK.
Public practice expertise
Recruitment centred on the needs of accountancy firms
Senior appointments in practice are rarely about qualifications alone. The right person may need to inherit a portfolio, advise owner-managed businesses, supervise a team, develop work, manage deadlines or support a partner’s succession plans.
We discuss the work, client base, team structure, systems, location and future plans before beginning a search. This gives candidates a more accurate picture of the opportunity and helps employers spend time on relevant interviews.
Our main focus is senior recruitment for accountancy practices. We can also assist with selected senior finance appointments in commerce and industry.
