Connecting exceptional finance talent with ambitious businesses

A Different Kind of Recruitment Partner

Unlike typical recruiters, we're Chartered Accountants ourselves, with over 20 years working with SMEs, scale-ups, turnaround and listed businesses.

We work exclusively with SMEs across the North West & Yorkshire regions, offering a hands-on, partner-led approach with no delegation or shortcuts – just a pure commitment to finding the best person for your business.

Whatever your need, we know what good looks like and how to find the right candidate.
