I can assist with progressing your career within PRACTICE or help you make your first move into INDUSTRY.
I provide a professional, consultative service and have the best interests of both my clients and candidates at heart. Many agencies consider making a fee their top priority often to the detriment of their candidates, persuading them to accept positions that might not be suitable. My top priority is that you are making the right career choices for you.
I offer honest, unbiased advice (which in some cases could be to stay with your current firm). If you decide to consider a move elsewhere, I can help you progress your career in the right direction for your long-term goals.
Many of my placements come from referrals, working with me exclusively. This is the ideal way for us to work together as I can fully explore the market and deliver a range of options based on your requirements.
I appreciate it is often difficult to speak within the working week. I am available to speak to both candidates and clients in the evenings and weekends to fit around your busy schedules.
I will help you with all stages of the recruitment process including:
Not all vacancies are advertised on the open market. My long-established client relationships and targeted approach often results in me presenting a shortlist of suitable opportunities for you to consider. I will then guide you through the interview and offer process with no pressure to except a role unless you decide it is the perfect one for you!
I have specialised within the Practice market since 2009 and have strong relationships with the Big 4, Top 10/20, large regionals and large to small independents. I provide expert help and advice whether you are a graduate with 6 months experience in practice seeking to broaden your experience or a Senior Manager / Associate Director looking for a route to Partnership.
If you have decided to pursue a long-term career in practice, you will always be in high demand as there is a skills shortage in the market across most disciplines. When you make a career move you will often benefit from having a number of different opportunities to consider which can sometimes be overwhelming. I will provide as much unbiased advice as you require, but the route you take will always be your decision.
Whatever stage you are at with your career, please contact me to arrange a confidential discussion at a time to suit you.
Congratulations! You have completed your training contract and you are now looking to make that first move from practice into industry. Or maybe you are a Manager / Director with a number of years post-qualification experience ready for a new challenge.
The career decisions you make as a newly qualified accountant or tax professional are extremely important as they will shape how your career progresses in the long-term.
My number one priority is that you make the right career move, so I will take time to listen to your long-term career objectives and provide honest and unbiased advice on the various career opportunities open to you.
