Success Stories
“I came to know Cedar when they placed me as a candidate a number of years ago, and have used them a number of times since then. They have always taken the time to understand the dynamics of the role and culture of the team and the organisation. They also understand that time is precious, and have always provided high quality shortlists and well briefed candidates. They are my first ‘go to’ option when I am recruiting in the UK, and have placed a number of successful people with me.”
“We recently retained Cedar to help us find a high calibre finance director within a very tight timescale. Cedar provided a shortlist of 5 excellent candidates within 10 working days, each one of which could have performed very well in the role. They managed the search process effectively and efficiently, ensuring that we were able to appoint our preferred candidate. I would have no hesitation in referring Cedar to any business looking to hire Senior Finance Professionals.”
“Having worked with a number of recruiters finding Cedar was a real delight. Their attention to detail, ensuring that the client and candidate are a perfect fit, is second to none, and they were in regular contact throughout the whole process. Follow-ups pre and post-joining the new business were invaluable.”
“We engaged Cedar to assist us with a particularly specific brief. Their attention to the process was excellent, the candidates were all of high quality and they gave good quality advice to us throughout the search. Having worked in the industry I know first-hand how much effort they put into the search.”
“Cedar managed our most recent senior finance recruitment project. After taking a full briefing, they supplied candidates who matched the candidate specifications in terms of skill set and cultural fit. Cedar delivered on this important project in a highly efficient and professional manner and showed a level of enthusiasm and creativity above and beyond what I would call industry standard. I would have no hesitation in recommending them for any senior recruitment project.”
“The team was able to step in immediately, fully understanding the brief and our culture, and within a week had provided a number of very strong candidates. Within 2 weeks we had concluded the process and recruited the perfect person for this role, with all expectations exceeded, for this crucial time-critical role.”
“I approached Cedar to assist in the recruitment of a temporary Accounts Payable Assistant for my team. From the beginning, the team were friendly, professional and ready to help. They met with me at my office so they could get a real idea of what I needed in my team. They were professional, to the point and worked swiftly. The quality of candidates and the CVs they sent across were great and I felt reassured they had really listened and understood what an ideal candidate looked like for me. Within a week I had someone placed who was capable, well presented and ready to work – what more could you ask for?
I can’t thank Cedar enough for all their help and will certainly work with them again in the future not only for temp roles but for perm roles too.”
“Having dealt successfully with Cedar in the past, I was confident in appointing them to deliver this project and they again exceeded expectations. From start to finish they delivered a consultative and value added service, the culmination of which has meant we hired three great candidates. I have no hesitation in recommending Cedar.”

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.
