A Note from Our Founder — Adrian Lawrence FCA
Accountancy Capital is a specialist practice with a deliberately narrow focus. We place qualified finance professionals at £50,000 and above. We do not cover every finance role that exists — we cover the roles where specialist knowledge of the candidate pool, the employer market and the specific qualification and experience requirements genuinely improves the quality of the search relative to what a generalist agency or a job board can provide.
Every service listed on this page is backed by a candidate network built over years of continuous direct engagement with the relevant professional community — not a database of uploaded CVs, but a living network of relationships with finance professionals whose backgrounds, ambitions and availability we understand in real time. That is what makes the shortlists we produce within 48 hours for interim requirements possible, and what makes the permanent searches we run at CFO and FD level consistently produce candidates that the employer could not have found through advertising alone.
