We've been in your position.
Talencia is built and run by ex-accountants. We've made career moves ourselves — from public practice exits to commercial finance jumps to senior leadership. We know what it feels like to be unsure of the next step, and what it takes to make the right one.
That means the conversations we have are different. We don't run you through a checklist. We actually understand what your experience means, what's missing from your exposure, and what kind of environment you'll genuinely thrive in.
Goals first. Roles second.
Most recruitment starts with a job and works backwards. We start with you — your goals, your gaps, what's missing from your experience, what the next two moves should look like — and then we find the role that fits the blueprint.
The result is a move that makes sense for your career, not just for the job spec. And we stay in your corner long after you start — with a structured 12-month check-in to make sure it's delivering what we said it would.
Every stage of your accounting & finance career.
From first role out of university to CFO — we work with professionals at every level, across public practice and commercial finance.
Starting out or making your first move after graduation — we help you understand what environments will build the right foundation, not just the fastest salary.
Experienced enough to be selective, ready for more responsibility or a new environment — we engineer moves that accelerate trajectory, not just salary.
At senior level, fit is everything. We work discreetly and deliberately — mapping the right organisations before making any approach.
Six stages. Your career, engineered.
Every candidate we work with goes through the same structured framework — from discovery through to a one-year check-in. Here's what each stage actually means for you.
A deep conversation about your goals, motivations, exposure gaps and where you want your career to be. No job listings. Just clarity — mapped before a single role is discussed.
We build a blueprint of what the right role looks like — culture, trajectory, technical environment, leadership style — and we only go to market when that picture is clear.
Technical, behavioural and communication coaching — especially for those whose ability outpaces how they present on paper or in interviews. Nothing is left to chance.
You go into every interview fully briefed — on the business, the team and what they're actually assessing. Both parties walk in prepared and walk out confident.
We manage the offer on your behalf — anchoring to market, protecting your interests and making sure the terms match what was discussed from the start.
Six structured check-ins over 12 months — making sure the goals from Stage 1 are being lived in reality. Your voice matters here, and we make sure it's heard.
Strong ability deserves to be seen clearly.
Not every great accountant is a natural self-promoter. If you know your work speaks for itself but you find it hard to articulate your value in interviews or on paper — that's exactly what we're here to help engineer.
Stage 3 is where we close that gap. We work with you on how to frame your experience, how to answer behavioural questions with structure, and how to present your trajectory with confidence — so the person on the other side of the table sees what we already see.
CV & narrative coaching
We help you position your experience for where you want to go — not just document where you've been.
Interview preparation
Structured practice on the questions you'll actually face, with feedback on how to deliver answers that land.
Behavioural framing
We help you tell the right stories — drawing out the examples that demonstrate your real capability, not just your job description.
Market positioning
Understanding where you sit in the market, what comparable candidates look like and how to position your value with confidence.
We stay in your corner for the whole first year.
Six structured check-ins — measuring whether the role is delivering what we said it would. Your goals from Stage 1 become the benchmark. We don't just wish you well and move on.
What makes this different.
We're not a volume recruiter. We work with a focused number of candidates at any one time — which means you get real attention, real preparation and a recruiter who's actually invested in your outcome.
Career blueprint first
We map your goals and gaps before we go to market. The role finds you — you don't have to find it.
Recruiters who understand your work
We're ex-accountants. We know the difference between a good firm and a great one. We know what "advisory-focused" actually means in practice.
We help you show your voice
If your ability outpaces how you present — we close that gap. Interview prep, CV coaching and behavioural framing are core to what we do.
Offer support on your side
We negotiate on your behalf — anchoring to market, protecting your interests and making sure the terms reflect your value.
Our networks are your networks
we tap into our network of Partners, Directors and key decision makers. People we’ve built real professional relationships with over the years, including former colleagues. We use these relationships to open the right doors for you.
Confidential when it matters
If you're exploring the market discreetly, we handle every step with discretion. Your current employer hears nothing until you're ready.
Let's map your next move.
Tell us where you are and where you want to be. We'll take it from there.
