Accounting

Expert Accounting Recruitment in the UK, Ireland, Germany, Luxembourg, Switzerland, and the US

From high-growth FinTech firms to global financial services institutions, we support organisations where financial control, regulatory compliance, and commercial visibility are business-critical. Our reach spans the UK, Ireland, DACH, Benelux, and the United States, giving clients access to talent across key international financial hubs.

Hiring in finance is no longer transactional. Skills shortages, regulatory pressure, and increasing demand for commercial insight have changed the brief.

Broadgate’s consultants understand how these pressures translate into hiring risk. We work closely with CFOs, finance leaders, and risk stakeholders to deliver talent that protects, enables, and scales businesses.

Whether you’re building out a finance function or exploring your next move, we support clients and candidates across the full finance and accounting lifecycle:

Why Choose Broadgate as Your Talent Partner for Accounting Roles?

A dedicated accounting, finance, and audit division

Broadgate operates through specialist verticals aligned to core finance functions. This structure gives our consultants a detailed understanding of role requirements, reporting lines, and regulatory context across accounting and finance hiring.

We support permanent and contract hiring across:

Financial Control
FP&A and Commercial Finance
Technical Accounting and Reporting
Internal and External Audit
Finance Systems and Transformation

Market Understanding is Shaped by Delivery

Finance hiring is governed by regulation, investor expectations, and business performance.

Our consultants work with organisations navigating audit scrutiny, finance transformation programmes, and leadership change. This gives us a clear view of how hiring requirements evolve across different growth stages, from scale-ups to listed businesses.

As part of Trinnovo Group, Broadgate contributes to a client NPS of +80, significantly above the industry average, reflecting consistent delivery across complex hiring mandates.

Community-led access to finance talent

Many of the strongest finance professionals are not actively applying for roles.

Broadgate engages talent through long-term relationships, market insight, and community-led initiatives. This approach creates access to qualified accountants, finance business partners, and audit professionals who are selective about their next move.

For clients, this means faster access to relevant shortlists and reduced hiring risk.

A long-term partner for finance hiring

Finance functions evolve as businesses grow, restructure, or respond to regulatory change.

We support this through flexible delivery models:

Executive search for CFO, Finance Director, and board-level hires
Embedded and retained solutions for team buildouts
Permanent and interim recruitment for specialist roles

This provides continuity across multiple hiring cycles, rather than restarting the process for each new requirement.

Finance and accounting salary insights

Understanding compensation trends is critical when hiring or benchmarking finance talent.

Broadgate produces regular salary guides across accounting, finance, and audit, built from live market data and candidate engagement across our core regions.

For over 40 years, Thesis Asset Management has been providing investment management services for private clients, charities, pension funds and trusts. Facing a mix of hiring needs across both permenent and contract recruitment, the firm was seeking senior talent in Compliance, MLRO, Fund Accounting, Reporting, and Oversight.

One of the most significant milestones was its very first contract hire; a senior appointment reporting directly to the CEO. Having never hired a contractor before, the firm needed guidance through the process, from understanding regulatory requirements to ensuring full compliance.

Broadgate’s consultants provided the education piece, building confidence and delivering a smooth process that resulted in a successful SMF placement. The candidate made such an impact that she was later transferred into a permanent role.
