All finance people are not the same, and all finance roles are not equal. Finance teams provide the critical thinking at the heart of every business strategy. At Robert Walters, we match qualified accounting and finance professionals to the right opportunity, not just any role. You’ll work with our industry experts, many of whom are ex-finance professionals, to plot the next step that’s right for you. We recruit permanent, contract, and fixed-term roles for a wide variety of firms and organisations – from start-ups to FMCG giants, investment banking, insurance, audit, and advisory.
