They’re brought in to lead projects, implement systems, or strengthen internal finance teams. Many stay long term, helping businesses scale with expert oversight. Having experienced our Executive Search and 5-Stage Assessment Process, many go on to become clients themselves.

“The FD we’ve got has revolutionised our financial planning. Had we not had Myles on board, I think the pandemic would have been quite a different experience for us – he has helped a great deal. From the point of view of understanding where we are at with the company – he blows us away every time we interact with him. He gets us. We’ve achieved amazing results with Myles’ help, he’s incredible. He works three days per month now and goes above and beyond in every possible way. He’s really impressive, and lovely to work with. One of our main concerns was finding an FD that was a good cultural fit. Myles feels as though he’s part of the company. He’s fitted in incredibly quickly, he’s a perfect culture fit.”

I cannot speak more highly of Artemis Clarke. Apart from being quick to respond, friendly and very helpful they also have a unique approach to help match candidates to clients, which all runs extremely efficiently. Candidates have the opportunity to leave short, punchy recordings to a few interview style questions – a media that we are all becoming more accustomed to and which in my opinion is considerably more valuable to both parties than just the CV!
Artemis Clarke were honest with me and very supportive during the whole process and were the only recruiter, I felt, that really cared about my job search.
Jonathan
The team at Artemis Clarke have been fantastic in helping us recruit for a rather niche role we needed in our Bristol office. Kate and the team were great at listening to our requirements and recommending candidates that fit the qualifications we needed. I was particularly impressed by the human-centric approach and the professionalism of the whole team – the candidates were thoroughly vetted beforehand and expectations were well communicated and aligned on both sides so that the interview stages went smoothly. I would definitely use this agency again.
Laura C
I would highly recommend Artemis Clarke. I found their approach to be really different to other recruiters and so much more effective. As well as having an excellent conversation with Kate about my experience, strengths and weakness, I was also required to complete two thorough tests to demonstrate my attention to detail and bookkeeping knowledge. Many recruiters will just look at experience and a brief impression and don’t have any idea of what a candidate can actually offer. Once a suitable position came up, she put me forward for it and six months later I am still there and very happy in the job. I am truly grateful to the team at Artemis Clarke.
Samantha Bailey
I am so glad I found Artemis Clarke, they are a refreshing change to all of the previous agencies I have used before and it’s great that they are qualified accountants themselves. Kate and her team are all really friendly, helpful and easy to get hold of!
They take a different approach to recruiting and carry out detailed tests on candidates before even putting them forward for interview. I will always go to Artemis Clarke first in future for myself or when recruiting for other roles, I cannot recommend them highly enough!
Sandra Thorne
If you are serious about Accountancy recruitment whether you are a client or a candidate start with Kate and her team at Artemis Clarke. So much better service and more added value than any other recruiter I have dealt with. If I ever need staff or a new role Artemis Clarke is where I will start.
