Trusted Partner for Finance Leadership

"I have had the pleasure of working with Matt over the years working as a senior finance leader recruiting into finance leadership roles across portfolio companies. Matt's extensive network, coupled with the time that he invests in understanding our business, has ensured that he has consistently brought the best talent to the table that has helped me bolster my finance function whilst also garnering confidence from our financial sponsors. This has enabled Matt to become a trusted partner for finance leadership recruitment within our business and more broadly into our financial sponsor."

Trusted Adviser, Honest Feedback, Highly Recommended

"Matthew has supported several of my moves into senior leadership positions and has been a trusted adviser throughout each decision. He provides clear, honest feedback that genuinely informs thinking at a senior level, helping to balance immediate opportunity with long-term career direction. His follow-up is excellent and he is proactive in staying in touch, resulting in a close and highly trusted professional relationship built over time. I would recommend him without hesitation."

Martin Lewis, OCS Group

Professional, Reliable and easy to work with

I have worked with Matt as both a client and candidate since 2014 and I've found him to be professional, reliable and easy to work with. I currently work in a fast paced, PE backed business that's building a central finance team - I've needed strong candidates but haven't always been able to provide much notice. Matt has accommodated my requests and responded with CV's and interviews quickly.

Louise Mcallister - Xeinadin

Reliable, Effective, and Fast

Matt has supported me with recruiting finance leaders over the last decade and he has always been a pleasure to work with. He understands requirements quickly, takes a measured approach, and never pushes roles or candidates that aren’t right.
