Accountancy & Finance

“I absolutely love working at Cedar. Everyone is so supportive and willing to help. There is such a lovely family feel and there is a great social side. We also have a great work life balance which is crucial.”

“After struggling to recruit a Finance Manager with suitable restaurant experience, I was introduced to Cedar by our new MD and the step change in the both the quality of candidates and the focus/support from the team was immediately evident. They successfully placed a candidate, initially on a short term basis which subsequently became permanent. The professionalism and expertise that Cedar exude is impressive and is the reason why I haven’t looked elsewhere since that first recruit. From from both a business, and more recently a personal perspective, they offer impartial career guidance.”

“I had the pleasure of being supported by Cedar across all levels of Finance recruitment from part qualified through to senior hires. At all the stages of the process, it was clear they had a fundamental understanding of the calibre of individuals we were after as well as working together with us to give useful insight and market knowledge. This allowed us to be competitive in market place when it came to top talent. I was impressed with the knowledge of the business they had and the strong relationship they had built with key stakeholders. They gave me the confidence t that they could inform and advise the business without my intervention. I would highly recommend Cedar and look forward to work again with them in the future.”

“I’ve used Cedar for recruiting into my team for several years, with them having placed more than half of my current team. They take the time to understand not only the technical requirements but also the personal requirements so that all candidates I see from Cedar are a good team fit as well as having the relevant experience and skills. I can always rely on Louise and her team!”

“We retained cedar to help us find a high calibre CFO. Cedar met with our senior management team to fully understand the complexities of both the organisation and role and to get a real sense of our culture. They provided us with expert guidance on how we should approach the candidate market and then quickly created a strong short list from which we subsequently hired.

Cedar pride themselves on being true consultants and genuine value adding partners. We were very impressed by the quality of the candidates they presented and the pace at which they worked. Cedar’s thoroughness and consultative advice through the process gave us a great sense of confidence that this critical hire was being managed by true professionals.

I will work with cedar again and would have no hesitation in recommending them to any business looking to recruit senior finance and procurement professionals.”

​“It was a pleasure to work with Cedar to find a full time CFO. We were looking for a very specific type of candidate, which they very much understood and definitely delivered on. From our initial consultation, through to the selection, shortlist and negotiation, they made everything very simple and straight forward.”

“Having worked with Cedar for several years they have become the first port of call when looking to fill a position. They have consistently delivered a selection of high-quality candidates. For interim placements, Cedar has the bench to provide quality individuals quickly and efficiently.”

“We had an urgent requirement to find an Interim Corporate Finance Analyst to be based in our High Wycombe office. The successful candidate needed to have a very specific skillset as well as extensive experience in a niche area of corporate finance and M&A. Due to our specific requirements and the location, we knew it may have been difficult for us to find the right candidate and we enlisted the help of Cedar. They completely understood what we were looking for but didn’t have a candidate who was immediately available for this location. Cedar quickly actioned an advertising campaign to attract the best talent in the market.

Cedar hit the nail on head – one candidate, one interview and the position was filled with in one week.

I was extremely impressed with their knowledge of the market and speed at which they delivered.”
