What we do


We place senior finance professionals to CFO level across the UK, EMEA and Asia Pacific.

Our clients span the full spectrum of private sector ownership; listed, private equity and venture backed, family owned and founder led, from early stage businesses to large multinationals.


Decades of experience mean we understand what good looks like at every level, in every type of organisation. 


As a 'boutique', we are unconstrained in who we can approach, which means the shortlists we produce, at all levels of position, are  based on comprehensive market mapping and research, and typically include individuals who are not 'on the market'.   


What we bring



Our main objectives for assignments at all levels. 



  • Deliver a painless experience for all stakeholders.
  • Demonstrate our expertise and professionalism from the first conversation.
  • Gain a thorough understanding our clients requirements, resulting in an achievable plan to ensure the best possible outcome.
  • Produce a shortlist of qualified, relevant and motivated candidates, some of whom will be sitting under the radar.. 
  • Establish credibility and Trusted Advisor status. 

 

It's our belief, that if we can help our clients and candidates achieve success, we will work together again. 


We're in it for the long term, and building relationships based on trust, results and the enjoyment of working together, is all we can wish for. 



Let's talk

While we're proud of all of these achievements, we are particularly grateful to the clients, who trust us to act for them on multiple occasions.

What we do

How we find the best finance talent

The Partners lead on all aspects of an assignment, at C-suite level and below.


It's essential that we develop a clear understanding of the business, culture and the nature of the role. We invest the necessary time in order to understand the organisational structure, leadership dynamic, and what will be expected of the successful candidate.


We identify and assess candidates through deep research, thorough referencing and rigorous questioning on technical ability, motivation and cultural fit. 


Our minimal off-limits policy means we can approach individuals, that others might not.
