Modern finance departments are viewed as business partners rather than back room bean counters. We need to be accurate, process driven and aware of deadlines; but curiosity, and the need to be able to analyse data and communicate ideas, is now paramount. Finance is challenging, but hard work usually pays off in an interesting and rewarding career.
Debra Schneider, Finance Director, South Downs Leisure
The market for commerce and industry positions is tough. Whilst opportunities exist at all levels, there is increased competition for these vacancies. Unlike the candidate driven professional services sector where hires can be made providing there's a good business case to do so, for vacancies to exist within the commercial and not-for-profit sectors, there needs to be an opening before the recruitment process can commence.
In most case, we experience high numbers in applications for in-house finance roles, so you may find you’re not the only one in reception waiting for your interview. In this more candidate saturated market, our job is to ensure that you stand out amongst the crowd. Working in most cases as the sole recruiter - and, more often, the retained agent - means that we fully understand the requirement leading to a positive outcome for all parties and can invest time in getting you to the finish line first.
If you don't see a vacancy which matches your skill set or preferred location, then please contact David, George, Callum or Georgina to discuss how we can approach our established network on a confidential basis.
