The wrong hire costs more than a salary
Most finance and accounting leaders have felt it. A candidate who
looked right on paper, a recruiter who promised the world, and a
placement that just didn't stick. The role gets filled, but the problem
doesn't go away. Months of onboarding, a team absorbing the gap,
and a domino effect of challenges arising while you start the search all over again.
Generalist recruiters don't speak your language. They can't assess whether acandidate has real technical depth or whether their commercial thinkingwill hold up in a fast-moving finance team. They match keywords. You need someone who adds value and someone who understands the complexity of the market.
We built Addition Partners for finance and accounting leaders who are tired of working with recruiters who don't understand the industry.
Every search we run is led by people who know the work, know the market, and know what good looks like before a CV ever lands on your desk.
The process built for finance leaders
Discovery
Before a search brief goes anywhere near the market, we invest time understanding your business. Ownership structure, team composition, business size, industry complexity, culture, performance expectations, and role-specific nuances. You also get honest market guidance on current trends, candidate availability, salary benchmarks, and realistic timelines so there are no surprises further down the process.
Search
Every search begins with targeted headhunting across the finance and accounting market, not a job posting. We combine active outreach with direct access to our network of passive talent. Senior professionals who are not on the job boards but would consider the right opportunity. That network is the result of years of specialist work in this space and it is where the strongest candidates are found.
Curated Shortlist
You receive a curated shortlist of 4+ candidates, each one selected with intent. We assess across technical capability, seniority, cultural alignment, and provide diversity of talent to ensure a successful placement is made. Alongside the shortlist, you receive a clear plan to placement, so the process is transparent, structured, and moves efficiently from first interview through to offer.
Seamless Close
We manage the process through to completion. Offer negotiation, reference checks, counteroffer management, and post placement check ins are all handled on your behalf. The final stages of a search are where most processes lose momentum. We make sure they do not.
"Filling critical finance roles at I-MED without disrupting the business is harder than it looks. Addition understood both the technical requirements and the cultural fit we needed, and they moved fast without cutting corners. They did not just send CVs they sent people ready to contribute from day one, and every placement has held."
"Finding finance talent that actually sticks is harder than most people realise. Addition has supported Boston Scientific's Financial Control and FP&A hiring for over six years, and the people they place do not just perform, they stay and grow. Their read on team structure, compensation, and candidate alignment has shaped how we build our finance function."
"Addition has placed finance professionals across transactional, commercial, FP&A, and group consolidation roles at Lightsource BP on both permanent and contract basis, and they have never missed the brief. What keeps us coming back is their transparency, their genuine understanding of specialist roles, and the fact that they stay engaged well after a placement is made."
"Recruiting for a specialised role in a difficult location is never straightforward, but Addition made it feel exactly that way for Toyota Material Handling. They worked within our timeframes, brought real structure to the process, and put credible candidates in front of us. Responsive, professional, and effective, precisely what you need when the hire matters."
"When SmartestEnergy needed a Financial Controller a multi-layered, highly specialised role Addition delivered exactly the right person. Their shortlists are always well-considered and technically sharp, but it is the post-placement follow-through that sets them apart. They stayed close to both the candidate and our team to make sure the transition held."
"Addition placed ChildFund's Head of Finance, Risk and Compliance and our Finance Business Partner for Programs and Grants, and both are central to how our finance function operates today. They understood that in a non-profit environment, cultural fit carries just as much weight as technical skill, and their process reflected that from the start."
Every week a role stays open, your business pays for it
A vacant finance seat is not just an inconvenience.
The team absorbs the workload. Deadlines get missed. Strategic decisions get delayed because the numbers are not where they need to be. And when the wrong person fills that seat, the cost compounds. You are back to square one, months later, with less runway and a team that has already felt the pressure.
The businesses that grow are the ones that get their finance function right. That starts with who you hire.
