"Help, my accountancy firm needs to..."

Urgently Hire

A senior fee earner has left and client deadlines aren't moving. You need a qualified replacement placed fast without compromising on calibre.

Find an Interim

Whether it's a partner departure, parental cover or a gap during restructure, your firm needs experienced financial leadership in place while you find the permanent solution.

Build a Team

Growing your practice means hiring across multiple positions without letting standards slip. We build finance teams around your firm's culture, client base and commercial priorities.

Finance Executive Headhunters

We handle recruitment for the senior finance roles that positively shapes your enterprises performance

When a senior finance role is open, the impact is immediate. Reporting deadlines slip and client relationships sit unmanaged while your remaining team absorbs pressure they shouldn’t be carrying.

Coreus acts ad your exclusive finance executive headhunter, conducting retained executive search for accountancy practices and financial services organisations hiring at Finance Director, CFO, Head of Finance and Partner level. We offer permanent, interim and fractional engagement models, so the search is built around what your business actually needs.

Every appointment is handled with full discretion, protecting your client relationships and internal stability throughout the process.

Permanent

Full-time executive search for senior finance hires who will lead your firm for years. We identify passive candidates already performing at the level you need and deliver a curated shortlist of serious options.

Coreus interim executive search icon

Interim

Immediate senior finance cover when your firm cannot afford a leadership gap. Experienced finance professionals ready to maintain client confidence and keep reporting cycles on track.

Coreus fractional executive search icon

Fractional

Part-time senior finance leadership for firms that need strategic direction without full-time commitment. Ideal for growing practices that are not quite ready for a permanent FD or CFO.

Every finance executive headhunt is led by the same consultant from first conversation to placement. One point of contact who understands your firm, your clients and the sensitivity of the appointment.
