How we work

Unlike other finance recruitment agencies, we offer a flexible hiring model that saves you hundreds. Our simple process aims to match you with the right individual for your business needs and requirements.

A unique hiring model

Employed by us, working for you. Our finance professionals are employed by us, so you’ll save on training costs, pension, maternity pay, sick pay, holiday pay, onboarding fees and more.

A unique hiring model

At The Finance People, our hiring model is a little different from most. When working with a part-time finance professional from The Finance People, you won’t be officially employing, as the finance professional is employed by us. Think of us more like a professional services company rather than a recruitment agency - you’ll be hiring our finance services, rather than onboarding a new member. Your dedicated professional will integrate seamlessly into your team with no onboarding process, no training requirements, no holiday pay, no sick pay, no maternity pay, and many other benefits.

Our step-by-step approach

We make it easy to get started with your flexible finance professional. Our seamless four-step process will ensure you are settled and aligned with your new expert, ready to work towards your long and short-term business goals.

  • Discuss your business aims and requirements with our team. This will enable us to get a good understanding of your business and help align you with the right solution.

  • We'll explore your culture, business and requirements in further depth, ensuring we are finding the right personality for the job. We'll also look at your future plans to ensure our team can evolve with you.

  • We'll hand-select your ideal-fit flexible finance professional, based on your business requirements and culture fit. You'll be introduced to your finance professional as soon as you need them, with wait times as little as 1 week.

  • We'll check in with you as your flexible finance professional integrates into your team. We'll ensure you are happy with the service and are on your way to achieving your goals.

How we’re different from other companies

There are a small number of UK companies offering you the ability to hire a flexible finance director for your SME. At The Finance People, we take pride in being able to partner you with a finance expert at any level, based on an in-depth audit of your business and requirements.

Rather than partnering you with a part-time FD even when you don’t need one, we aim to match you up with the right individual for your business. For some businesses, that means you’ll work with an FD on a project basis, before continuing with an FC on a rolling basis. For others, it might mean you’ll work with an FD ongoing, or potentially you can get by with an FC instead and save some budget. We’ll find the right professional fit for you.
