Compliance & Financial Crime
We have an in-depth understanding of the nowadays prominent field of compliance, and specialist sub-disciplines such as financial crime, as these functions have been a core focus for our company since we were founded.
Whilst individuals who can blend leadership competencies with a thorough understanding of regulation, systems and processes remain in high demand, we can provide our clients with access to the best talent in the industry through our knowledge and our network.
We understand the discipline and its people and go the extra mile to achieve excellent results in a competitive hiring marketplace.

Risk Management
Effective risk professionals possess broad and detailed technical expertise, commercial creativity and people skills to allow them to influence boards, senior management and colleagues across their businesses.
We work with our clients to identify, engage and secure the services of professionals who see risk as core to the business of financial services, embedding effective and appropriate risk controls into the culture of their organisations.
Our work spans the successful engagement of Chief Risk Officers and their divisional and regional management teams, including heads of operational risk, market and investment risk, financial, prudential and enterprise risk, and various niche roles.
“The insightful profiling of individuals in the market for a key role within our firm was exceptionally useful and led to a well-informed hiring decision by an Executive Committee member, and ultimately an excellent hire.”

Internal Audit & Finance
A pressing need for improved controls and increased regulatory scrutiny has seen internal audit become a prominent and influential component of all major companies’ governance frameworks.
While senior audit professionals still require specialist industry, subject-matter and process expertise, a premium is also placed on leadership qualities and the ability to set the agenda.
Equally, CFOs, controllers, and specialist accountants must work closely with boards and senior management whilst leveraging technology to serve and guide their businesses through effective financial control and insightful analysis.
Our success in finding the best people for our clients is based on huge experience, our broad, deep and supportive network, and a highly developed understanding of the opportunities ahead of these functions.
