You know that the right people are out there, but where do you begin when it comes to financial recruitment here in Cheltenham?
Whether you are looking for a Finance Director, a Head of Finance or even need to consider the future format of your finance team, Artemis Clarke can help.
You would be forgiven for thinking that Cheltenham is a laid-back spot thanks to its reputation as a spa town, but you couldn’t be more wrong. Cheltenham is filled with a diverse range of businesses ranging from small start-ups, growing SMEs, to large national corporations and is world famous for its cultural events and festivals, including literature, jazz, science, food, and cricket. The relocation of GCHQ to Cheltenham in 1950 brought a whole new element and expertise to the town which has been flourishing ever since.
Companies operating in Cheltenham are leaders in the manufacturing, engineering, fashion and finance industries. It’s safe to say that growing a business in the Cheltenham area is not only a great idea, but will position you alongside other great companies and business owners and will provide you access to an educated and expert talent pool.
With our network of fully vetted, experienced Finance Directors we can usually source a part-time or interim FD or CFO within a tight timeframe if the need is urgent. If you are a growing business looking to recruit your first in-house Head of Finance or Finance Director, then we use our Executive Search Process to source the perfect candidate.
FDs can be recruited on a full or part time basis; if you are a business with turnover of less than £20m we recommend considering the part-time FD option first. If you already have a competent finance team in place, a PTFD can provide all the benefits of an expert full-time FD at a fraction of the cost. You can choose whether you recruit them in-house on a salary or via Artemis Clarke on a day rate.
You may need a part-time FD to oversee a specific project, to put in place some systems and controls, or to build or mentor an effective finance team within your business. They may stay with you for months or even years, delivering high level strategic oversight to help your business scale and meet its growth objectives. Over time they could also become your in-house full-time Finance Director as your business grows and your requirements for their expertise increases.
