Accountancy & Finance Recruitment Led by Local Expertise

Our accountancy and finance recruitment is delivered through our specialist division, TN Recruits Accounts — a sister company to ME Recruits.

Led by Rachel, the division works closely with businesses and finance professionals across Kent, Sussex and the wider South East, bringing a focused and experienced approach to the market.

Through long-standing relationships with local employers, Rachel has developed a strong understanding of the regional finance landscape — from the challenges businesses face when competing with London salaries to the skills and ambitions shaping today’s finance professionals.

This insight allows us to provide more than introductions. We offer practical guidance and honest market advice, helping businesses shape effective hiring decisions and supporting finance professionals as they navigate the next stage of their careers.

We recruit across permanent, temporary and contract roles at every level — from assistant accountants and management accountants through to qualified professionals and senior leadership appointments.

A Consultative Approach to Finance Recruitment

Successful finance recruitment requires more than matching CVs to job descriptions. It requires insight into the local market and a clear understanding of what will strengthen a team over the long term.

Rachel works closely with clients to understand their organisation, team structure and future plans before recommending candidates. This ensures every introduction reflects both the technical requirements of the role and the dynamics of the business.

Through our extensive network of finance professionals — including many who are not actively applying for roles — we regularly connect businesses with high-quality candidates that traditional advertising alone would not reach.

In a competitive hiring market, we also advise employers to consider candidates who demonstrate strong technical foundations and long-term potential, even if they do not meet every requirement. In many cases, investing in training and development can create highly capable and loyal members of the team.

Deep Local Market Knowledge

With strong roots across Kent and Sussex, we understand the regional finance recruitment market and the pressures businesses face — particularly when competing with London salaries within commuting distance. Our insight into the local market enables us to guide employers on realistic hiring strategies while helping finance professionals navigate opportunities across the region.

Specialist Finance Recruiters

Rachel leads our Accounts division with a clear focus on accountancy and finance recruitment. This specialist focus allows us to understand the technical requirements, career pathways and professional expectations that shape the finance profession. Our advice is informed by deep understanding of the local finance recruitment market.

Access to Hidden Talent

Through our extensive network and proactive search approach, we connect employers with high-quality finance professionals who are often not actively applying through job boards. This gives our clients access to talent that would otherwise remain unseen in traditional recruitment processes.

Thorough Candidate Screening

Every candidate we introduce is personally interviewed and reference checked, ensuring strong technical ability, professional credibility and alignment with the needs of the organisation. We prioritise quality introductions rather than volume.

Relationship-Led Service

We focus on building long-term partnerships with both employers and finance professionals. By listening carefully, offering honest guidance and maintaining clear communication throughout the process, we help businesses hire with confidence while supporting meaningful career progression.

How We Support Finance Recruitment

We deliver specialist recruitment across all levels of accountancy and finance, supporting businesses and professionals with tailored, consultative solutions.

01

Finance Recruitment for Employers

We support businesses and accountancy practices with permanent, temporary and contract recruitment across a wide range of finance roles. By taking the time to understand each organisation’s structure, culture and future plans, we ensure every introduction reflects both the technical requirements of the role and the wider goals of the business.

02

Access to Hidden Talent

Through our established network and proactive search approach, we connect employers with highly skilled finance professionals who may not be actively applying for roles. This gives our clients access to talent that often remains unseen through traditional job advertising.

03

Candidate Screening & Shortlisting

Every candidate is personally interviewed and carefully assessed before introduction. We look beyond technical capability to understand motivation, experience and cultural fit — ensuring every shortlist reflects the real needs of the organisation.

04

Career Support for Finance Professionals

We support finance professionals at every stage of their careers, from AAT-level positions through to qualified and senior finance leadership roles. By offering honest advice and insight into the local market, we help candidates make informed decisions about their next move.

05

Building Long-Term Finance Teams

In a competitive hiring market — particularly with London salaries within commuting distance — securing the right finance talent often requires a thoughtful approach. We encourage employers to consider candidates with strong foundations and long-term potential, even if they do not meet every requirement. With the right training and development, these professionals can become highly valuable and loyal members of the team.

Helen is the best recruiter I have had the pleasure of working with. I felt like she really wanted to get to know me and make sure that I was the right match for the role. Any employer that assigns Helen the task of filling a vacancy can be sure that they are are interviewing people with the correct skills. Helen also gives amazing pre interview support. If I am ever in the position of looking for a new vacancy again I will be going straight to Helen.
