Questions

Before you

brief us

.

?

How quickly will I see candidates?

For a well-defined tax or audit role, expect a calibrated shortlist inside a couple of weeks — fewer names, each one we can explain.

?

Do you cover UK and US firms?

UK primarily, with US coverage where the firm needs local knowledge on both sides.

?

What if the technical profile is genuinely rare?

We map the market and approach qualified people who aren't looking — that's where a specialist network earns its keep.

The proof

What the work covers.

Permanent search

Associate to Partner tax, audit and accounts roles in Top 100 firms — brief to offer.

What we do

Cover for busy season and project work when a practice needs a qualified pair of hands fast.

Partner & director

Discreet approaches for partner, director and head-of-tax appointments.

Market mapping

Who's actually available at your grade, and the going rate, before you commit to the brief.

No spin

THE HONEST BIT

95% of our placements are still in role at 12 months. We match people who fit, not seats that need filling.
