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.

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.
