​​Brodie is the grey one, Boris is the brown one!
Boris is a 4-year-old rescue dog with a heart of gold. One of the softest coats you&rsquo;ll ever touch, but only if you are lucky! Due to his background, only a handful of people have been lucky enough to touch him as he is still a little nervous around people. He is also super-fast and we think a Lurcher.
Brodie is a new addition to the family and is coming up to his first birthday! He is a cross between an Italian greyhound and a whippet. He loves to steal but not destroy any of your personal belongings, mainly slippers and hide them across the house! He has so much energy and will beg you to play with him 24/7! &nbsp;

For over two decades, Cedars Accountancy & Financial practice has been at the forefront of identifying roles for finance professionals, offering comprehensive recruitment services across Commerce, Financial Services, and the Public Sector, catering to a wide range of companies from SME’s to blue-chip organizations, both domestically and internationally.

As the accountability of the CFO/ Finance Director and the senior finance community has increased, finance teams are facing ever-changing and increasing demands. This means an effective, cohesive, and sustainable team &ndash; one able to meet&nbsp;today's requirements while remaining&nbsp;flexible enough to meet those of tomorrow &ndash; is more important than ever.
Cedar's Senior Qualified Finance Practice, with its long-established reputation for excellence and trust, focuses on supplying senior finance professionals with a track record of leading finance functions.

For senior finance professionals, it&rsquo;s no longer enough to focus on operational and technical excellence. Strategic guidance and key commercial insights such as business analytics and management information are now par for the course, too.

Senior Qualified Finance

That&rsquo;s why the demand for high-quality, Top-4-trained accountants &ndash; particularly those with a confident technical understanding of IFRS &ndash; shows no sign of slowing down.&nbsp;
While this is great news for accountants, organisations that are struggling to fill roles has led to a genuine fight for the best candidates. A few extra perks can often help a company win the battle, which is where the knowledge and experience of our Qualified&nbsp;Finance Practice can really help.
We focus&nbsp;on supplying newly and recently qualified finance professionals with up to three&nbsp;years of post-qualified experience and with salaries from &pound;50,000 to &pound;70,000.

Whether it&rsquo;s identifying opportunities for growth, creating new roles to deal with the latest technology, or the need to comply with ever-changing regulations, the finance and accountancy&nbsp;sector continues to face major upheaval.

Qualified Finance

Typically, candidates&nbsp;will be working&nbsp;towards a professional accounting qualification and, once qualified, will progress to another opportunity. It&rsquo;s therefore very important that employers actively plan for succession.
Cedar's Part-Qualified &amp; Transactional Finance Practice focuses on supplying part-qualified (or those qualified by experience) and transactional&nbsp;accountants with salaries from&nbsp;&pound;25,000 to &pound;35,000 plus&nbsp;study-support remuneration.
