Experienced finance leaders to support your business through scaling, investment, and transformation. Hiring a permanent finance director can ensure an integrated finance leader.

A permanent Finance Director or CFO brings stability, strategic direction, and deep financial oversight to your business. They become a core member of your leadership team – someone who understands your commercial drivers and helps shape the future of your business.

At Artemis Clarke, we take the time to understand your company, your culture, and your ambitions. We work closely with you to identify and attract candidates who not only bring the technical skillset but who are also the right long-term fit for your leadership team.

“The Assessment Process, the speed of service, and the quality of the candidates that get put forward. It saves having to go through a whole load of CVs. With Artemis Clarke you get the CVs that are appropriate. One of the standout features of working with a specialist is that you tend to get a good quality set of candidates, and usually more than one good candidate that could do the job. This has happened both times I’ve worked with Artemis Clarke as a client. One of the things that appeals is their Assessment Process. It’s very good. The other thing is that you get a sense that there’s a real understanding of what’s required, not only in terms of the skills, but the type of person required. “

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.

★★★★★

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.

★★★★★

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.

★★★★★

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.
