Questions about accountancy recruitment

What accountancy disciplines does Hexford recruit for?
We recruit across the full spectrum of accountancy: Financial Accounting, Management Accounting, Tax Compliance, Audit & Assurance, Insolvency & Restructuring, Forensic Accounting, Financial Planning & Analysis, Bookkeeping, and Payroll. Our exclusive focus on accountancy means we understand the nuances of each discipline and can match candidates to roles that genuinely suit their expertise and ambitions.
Do you recruit for accountancy roles at all levels?
Yes. We place candidates from graduate and newly qualified roles right through to board-level positions including Finance Directors and CFOs. Whether you're hiring for a part-qualified Assistant Accountant or a senior Financial Controller, we have the depth of network and sector knowledge to find the right fit.
What's the difference between financial accounting and management accounting recruitment?
Financial Accounting roles focus on external reporting, compliance, and statutory accounts—think Financial Accountants, Group Accountants, and Financial Controllers. Management Accounting is internally focused: budgeting, forecasting, analysis, and decision support—roles like Management Accountants, FP&A Analysts, and Commercial Finance Managers. We recruit for both and understand which candidates suit which environment.
Can Hexford help recruit for specialist accountancy roles like insolvency or forensic accounting?
Absolutely. We recruit for specialist areas including Insolvency & Restructuring (Insolvency Practitioners, Case Managers, Restructuring Advisors) and Forensic Accounting (fraud investigation, dispute resolution, litigation support). These niche disciplines require recruiters who genuinely understand the work, and that's exactly what we offer.
Do you only recruit in Oxford, or across the UK?
We recruit accountancy roles throughout the UK. While we're based in Oxford, our network and placements span the country, from London and the South East to the Midlands, North, and beyond. We work with clients and candidates wherever the opportunity or talent is.
How does Hexford's exclusive focus on accountancy benefit employers?
Because we only recruit in accountancy, we know the market inside out—salary benchmarks, emerging skills, which qualifications matter for which roles, and how to assess technical fit. That means faster shortlists, better-matched candidates, and less time wasted on CVs that look good on paper but don't fit the brief.
What if I'm not sure which type of accountant I need to hire?
That's exactly where we can help. Tell us what the role needs to achieve—whether it's managing month-end, supporting M&A, improving cash flow forecasting, or ensuring tax compliance—and we'll advise on the right discipline, seniority, and skill set. Our depth of knowledge means we can guide you to the right hire, not just fill a vacancy.
Do you recruit for temporary or contract accountancy roles?
Yes. We recruit for permanent, temporary, and contract positions across all accountancy disciplines. Whether you need interim cover during a maternity leave, project-based support for a system implementation, or a permanent hire to build your finance function, we can help.
