Accountancy & Finance FAQs
Finance salaries across the UK have seen some upward pressure in 2025 in niche areas like financial planning and analysis (FP&A), commercial finance, and technical accounting. Skills shortages, regulatory demands, and increasing business complexity are driving demand for qualified professionals. However, salary trends vary by region, industry, and role level.

Cedar’s recruitment process is tailored, transparent, and outcomes-driven. We start by understanding your business, team structure, and hiring goals. From there, our specialist consultants identify and engage talent through trusted networks – not just job boards – ensuring a strong technical and cultural match.
We manage the full process, from shortlisting and interviews to offer management and onboarding support. Whether it’s a permanent, interim, or contract role, we move quickly to deliver the right finance professionals – ready to make an impact.
Permanent hires are typically long-term additions to your finance team, offering stability, leadership continuity, and strategic direction – especially important for growth or transformation plans. Interim finance professionals, on the other hand, are ideal for covering urgent gaps, navigating periods of change, or delivering project-based outcomes. Cedar offers both solutions, helping you assess what’s right for your business needs, timeline, and budget.
Recruiting a Finance Director usually takes between 4 to 10 weeks, depending on the complexity of the role, market conditions, and your internal processes. Interim FD appointments can often be made within a few days, while permanent hires may take longer if they involve multiple stakeholder interviews or notice periods. Cedar helps speed up the process by engaging pre-qualified talent from our network – often before roles go to market.
