With modesty, I am probably one of the most experienced "CFO/Finance Practice"​ recruiters operating in the UK, having specialised for 30+ years in CFO/FD/Senior Finance roles. My skills/approach were not gained in a "big brand" firm, but developed from first principles, in my smaller owner/founder firms: "I Did It My Way"! I am an FCA and an MBA, with earlier career at Arthur Andersen; as Business Planning Executive for EMI's International Operations; and as a Strategy Consultant with US management consultants, Arthur D.Little. This background, together with the sheer number/range of Finance roles handled across a wide sector range, gives me a deep understanding of Finance careers, roles and "benchmarks".My work typically falls at the c. £100-300,000 salary range. I am especially strong at the c. £120-200,000 salary range; where "traditional" search, being over-reliant on researchers "tapping on many cold shoulders", can struggle, taking a long time to tap on the "right" (interested) candidate! My personal network (not harvested merely via mouse-clicks on LinkedIn!) includes c. 2,500+ Finance Executives that I've met in person, some many times over their careers. I "know" many well. In addition, I have maintained longer-term contact with a further c. 4,500 that I have not met (yet), whose careers I have tracked over the longer term. As a functional specialist, my clients have covered a wide range of sectors and include FTSE100/250, AIM-listed and PE-owned companies. I have also recruited directly into PE-houses. Typical roles handled include: CFO / Finance Director (at Group / Divisional / Regional / Op.Co);Group Financial Controller;Director/Head of Finance; Director of FP&A;Head of Financial Reporting;Group Treasurer;Corporate Finance Director;Business Development/M&A Director; Head of Internal Audit/Risk;NED / Audit Chair;Investment Executive (PE) Operating Partner (PE Portfolio)When everyone else (whether internal or external resourcing) largely relies on LinkedIn, my "deeper knowledge" of individuals within my extensive, personal/professional network, as a starting-point, has often given more "unique" candidates; consistently reaching the right end-result for clients, quickly and cost-effectively. I have successfully "placed" over 250 into key finance roles, some 2/3 times in their careers. An impressive number have gone on to attain more "high-profile" positions; a testament to the quality of my recruits and personal network. See examples in the "see more" parts of my career timelines below. My track record says it all!
