About Us

About Us — Specialist Finance Recruiters Since 2008

Finance Recruitment Agency was founded with a single purpose: to connect South African businesses with the best finance and accounting talent, and to help finance and accounting professionals find the right career opportunities.

Our Story

Built on Finance and Accounting. Focused on South Africa.

Finance Recruitment Agency was established to address a clear gap in the South African recruitment market: the need for a truly specialist finance and accounting recruitment partner, one that understands the technical requirements of every finance and accounting role, the nuances of South African accounting qualifications, and the unique dynamics of the local job market.

Unlike generalist agencies that recruit across all industries and functions, our consultants focus exclusively on finance and accounting. This means we speak the same language as our clients and candidates. We understand the difference between a CA(SA) and a CIMA, we know what SAP experience is worth, we understand the pressures facing CFOs and finance teams, and we know what makes an exceptional bookkeeper or accounts clerk.

We serve companies across all industries, from JSE-listed corporations and financial services firms to SMEs and start-ups, placing finance and accounting professionals at every level, from accounts clerks and bookkeepers to chief financial officers.
