Mission accomplishment: Tax Partner for Azets

Intelligent recruitment.

We begin by getting close to the brief. The role, the pressure around it, and the result you need.

That could be a permanent Finance Director to take ownership of the strategy and team.

An experienced FP&A contractor to support budgeting and forecasting.

Or a fractional CFO to bring senior oversight without a full-time hire.

Understanding what’s needed, how it should be structured, and where it will make the biggest difference is where we do our best work.

Mission accomplishment: Finance Director for Ardgowan Distillery

"The right people see what others miss. The patterns, pressure points, potential.

At Denholm, we work with businesses that need that level of focus. People who can keep numbers tight and judgement clear, even when things move fast."

I cannot recommend Fiona highly enough. From the very beginning of the recruitment process, she was fantastic, keeping me fully up to date at every stage, always encouraging, supportive, and genuinely invested in finding the right role for me. The position she placed me in was perfect: highly specific, local, and well suited to my abilities, with clear room for growth. Since joining the business, I have actually been promoted to Finance Director, which speaks volumes about how well matched the role was, and Fiona played a crucial part in making that happen. Even after placement, Fiona has remained in regular contact, checking in to see how things are going and continuing to offer her support. She even took the time to visit us during our Open Day, which really demonstrates her commitment to building lasting relationships, not just filling roles. Fiona is professional, personable, and incredibly dedicated. She has been instrumental in my career progression, and I am truly grateful for her support throughout and beyond the recruitment process.

Working with Fiona at Denholm on a recent Tax Partner hire was a pleasure. Engaging candidates at this level within Accountancy Practice is no easy task and requires an experienced recruitment partner to nurture the conversations and ensure enough momentum whilst also giving space to properly consider the opportunity. Denholm clearly have a strong network at this level and can make key introductions to their clients. Fiona was able to keep the process moving at the right pace, always maintaining clear communication and honest feedback which resulted in a successful hire. I would have no hesitation to work with Denholm again and greatly appreciated the advice and professionalism throughout the recruitment process and beyond.
