The accountancy and finance sector is very competitive but trust us when we say that you’re in safe hands.
Collaborate with our finance and accountancy recruitment team just once, and we assure you that you’ll find no reason to look elsewhere. We don’t believe in a ‘one and done’ approach; building lasting relationships is at the core of our recruitment philosophy. That’s why the vast majority of our clients come to us through trusted referrals or return to us for repeat business after experiencing successful, long-term placements time and time again.
With a collective experience of over 50 years in accounting recruitment, our team boasts a vast and diverse network spanning from owner-managed businesses and SMEs to industry giants in the FTSE 100 and Fortune 500.

As our business has grown and we have added to our team, we have worked with Harvey John to recruit the right people into the right seats, and this means that as well as recruiting individuals with the right technical skill set, they also need to be the type of person that engages and embraces with our culture and values!
David was absolutely brilliant. He took a measured and considered approach. Really listening to what our needs were, rather than just trying to fit a potential candidate (square peg) into our requirements (round hole).
