01 · THE HIRE

Get a Financial Controller wrong and you don’t find out until month-end reporting slips or an audit turns rough.

I recruit finance people the way you’d want your accounts prepared: carefully, personally, and with nothing glossed over. Every candidate I put forward has been met, questioned properly, and matched to your business, not just your job spec.

Fit assessed properly

Behavioural profiling comes as standard, so you see how a finance hire will actually work, not just what’s on the CV.

A shortlist, not a pile of CVs

Three or four briefed, genuinely interested candidates. Not thirty CVs to wade through.

One recruiter, start to finish

You deal with me from first brief to accepted offer. No account handlers, no being passed around.

Speaks your language

Finance-literate and specialism-aware (ACA, ACCA, CIMA and QBE), so the brief is a conversation, not a translation exercise.

She takes the time to see past the basics of a CV and to recognise the skills and experience that are required for the role she needs to recruit for. Throughout the whole recruitment process I found Becki to be friendly, supportive and helpful – she is a credit to the industry and can be highly recommended.
