Financial Leadership

We believe that strong financial leadership is crucial to the success of any organisation, but in today’s boardroom, the role of the Financial Director and Chief Financial Officer goes far beyond financial oversight and strategy.  Increasingly the CFO acts as the partner to the CEO; supporting and facilitating their ability to influence and drive performance effectively business wide.

The FD or CFO are one of the most critical hires in the organisation so by working with an experienced executive search specialist to make that hire, you will partner with people who truly understand what is needed to deliver success.  Most of our Senior Finance Professionals are ICAEW qualified.

At FD Capital Recruitment we target finance leaders who are defined by their personality and impact regardless of their background.
