CJ White Group is a specialist UK finance recruitment firm. We place qualified accountants, investment professionals, brokers, tax advisors, treasury specialists and bookkeepers for finance directors, partners and hiring committees who value discretion and a properly researched shortlist over CV volume.

Most agencies treat finance as another vertical to staff. We staff nothing else. The difference shows up in the first shortlist, and again at the 12-month retention mark.
The shortlist arrived on day nine. All four candidates were qualification-current, salary-realistic and had the sector experience we asked for. That has never happened with a generalist agency.
A methodical, discreet process built around how finance teams actually hire. No mystery, no CV storms, no pressure tactics.
A structured 45-minute intake. We capture the role scope, qualification bar, sector experience required, comp band, reporting line and the timeline. You receive a written brief for sign-off before we start.
We approach our network and the active market discreetly, screen for qualification currency and sector fit, verify comp expectations and references, and present a ranked shortlist of three to five candidates with our written notes on each.
We manage the interview process, coordinate feedback discreetly, structure the offer, handle counter-offer conversations and confirm start-date logistics. Follow-up check-ins at day 30 and day 90.
