Recruiter

With in excess of twenty years&rsquo; Accountancy and Practice experience (I can&rsquo;t be that old!), I have worked across multiple markets in my time: interim, education, executive, Practice and part qualified.I am currently passionate about providing solutions to firms of Chartered and Certified Accountants who are trying to expand within a critically short candidate market and often struggling to secure top-end talent.I try to work in partnership with each and every client and see myself as an extension to their team.For Practice candidates, I am passionate about securing modern and varied roles with progression, autonomy, responsibility and above market levels of pay.&nbsp; Every candidate is a person, and I try and find a tailored solution to each and every one.I try to do both with honesty, integrity and speed. I also try to make the process fun and enjoyable for all involved.Away from work, I am a sports enthusiast but with 6 children of varying ages, my time is often very limited.

Managing Director - Executive Accountancy & Finance 

Accountancy: Industry & Commerce

With around a decade of experience in accountancy recruitment, I specialise in placing senior accountancy professionals and executive-level finance leaders across a range of industries. My focus is on building lasting partnerships &mdash; understanding both the strategic goals of organisations and the career aspirations of high-calibre finance professionals.Over the years, I've developed a deep understanding of the evolving finance landscape and the critical role that strong financial leadership plays in driving business success. Whether it's securing a transformational CFO, a commercially astute Financial Controller, or a forward-thinking Finance Director, my approach is consultative, discreet, and always results-driven.I&rsquo;m passionate about connecting the right people with the right opportunities &mdash; not just to fill roles, but to enable long-term impact and growth for both candidates and businesses.

Tom Farrer-Newey

I oversee the financial management of the business as well as strategically guiding Farrer Barnes with our MD, Tom.&nbsp;In my spare time, I look for golf balls in long grass, waddle along Parkruns and run around after my kids.

My focus is on delivering a consultative, results-driven approach that aligns the long-term goals of both clients and candidates.As an integral member of the team, I bring deep market insight, a strong network, and a genuine passion for helping organisations find the finance leaders who will drive growth and transformation. Whether it&rsquo;s a Management Accountant, Financial Controller or Finance Director, I take pride in ensuring the right cultural and strategic fit.

Chris Hacche

An experienced recruiter with a background in sales and customer service, specialising in placing both junior and experienced transactional staff within the accountancy and finance sector.

Education: Finance & Resources

I specialise in recruiting educational support staff, partnering with schools, academies, trusts, colleges and universities across the country.With 15 years experience, I've worked with CEOs, CFOs, HR, finance and operations staff at every level.Outside of work I spend most of my time trying to navigate the perils of having a teenage son and occasionally enjoy the ups and downs of being a Liverpool supporter.

Mark Taylor

I'm a Senior Consultant specialising in part-qualified and transactional finance recruitment across the Southeast, with a real focus on the Kent market. I work with businesses of all shapes and sizes, helping them to recruit and retain junior finance candidates.I&rsquo;m all about building genuine relationships &mdash; no pushy sales talk, just honest conversations, and a real interest in matching the right people with the right roles. Whether you're hiring or job hunting, I'm here to make the process as smooth (and enjoyable!) as possible.
