Finance & Accounting
CFOs, controllers, FP&A, audit, tax and treasury talent.
Our Finance & Accounting practice covers the full spectrum of finance talent — from CFOs and finance directors to controllers, FP&A, treasury, audit and tax specialists — across listed, private and high-growth organisations.
Market context
Finance leaders are increasingly expected to be strategic partners to the business, not just stewards of the numbers. We find the finance talent that combines technical excellence with commercial judgement.
Where this market stands today
Finance hiring remains one of the most consistently undersupplied markets in the region. The structural shortage of CA/CPA-qualified talent — exacerbated by reduced migration during prior years and fewer graduates entering audit — keeps upward pressure on pay for qualified candidates with three to eight years of post-qualification experience.
