Executive Search for Senior Accounting & Finance Roles in the UK
Looking to Hire Top Accounting or Finance Talent?
If you're a UK-based company seeking to hire a senior accounting or finance professional, partnering with the right executive search firm can make all the difference. Whether you're filling a critical CFO vacancy, building out your finance leadership team, or navigating a period of financial transformation, expert guidance is essential to finding candidates who not only meet the technical criteria but also align with your strategic vision.
At Elliot Marsh, we specialise in identifying and placing top-tier finance executives across a wide range of industries. With over 40 years of combined experience, we’ve earned our reputation as one of the UK’s most trusted executive search partners for senior-level accounting and finance recruitment.
Why Use an Executive Search Firm for Finance Hires?
Hiring for roles such as Chief Financial Officer or Financial Controller is fundamentally different from traditional recruitment.
These positions require:
Deep technical expertise in UK accounting standards (FRS, IFRS)
Proven leadership in managing finance teams and complex regulatory compliance (e.g. PRA, Companies Act)
Strategic thinking and the ability to drive business performance through data-led financial decision making
Executive search firms offer access to passive candidates not found on job boards, rigorous assessment methodologies, and a highly consultative approach to hiring.
Elliot Marsh provides bespoke search solutions tailored to your business goals, sector challenges, and cultural fit requirements.
