Experts in finance and accountancy recruitment
At Sellick Partnership, we support organisations across the public, private and not-for-profit sectors with finance and accountancy recruitment. We work across permanent, contract, temporary and interim hiring, providing a structured, transparent approach and access to established networks of finance professionals.
Our consultants recruit across a wide range of finance and accountancy roles, from transactional and part-qualified positions through to qualified, management, senior leadership and interim appointments. We also support finance professionals with market insight, current opportunities and guidance as they plan their next career move.
Finance teams play a central role in how organisations manage performance, plan ahead and make informed decisions. Across both public and private sector hiring, demand remains strong for finance professionals who combine technical expertise with commercial awareness, stakeholder engagement and the ability to support wider business objectives.
At the same time, employers are facing increased competition for candidates, tighter hiring timeframes and changing expectations around flexibility, progression and workplace culture. To respond to these challenges, organisations need a clear approach to attracting and retaining strong finance professionals, from refining hiring processes to strengthening their overall candidate proposition.
For finance professionals, understanding the skills, routes and progression opportunities available can also make a real difference when planning a next move. Our finance and accountancy careers guide offers candidates further insight into career pathways, in-demand skills and opportunities across the market.

Testimonials from our partners
The Trust recently chose to work with Sellick Partnership exclusively on the permanent appointment of our Deputy Director of Finance – Procurement & Commercial Opportunities. We came to the decision to work with Nikki at her team Sellick Partnership, as not only do they have an excellent network, but they already provided us with an excellent service for our interim requirements. They also understand and respect our values, culture and the direction in which we are taking our business. Sellick Partnership supported our requirements promptly and professionally, which gave us the time to focus our efforts on our business. Throughout the process everything was communicated to us in a professional and timely manner and our expectations were fully met. I would have no qualms in using Sellick Partnership again as we were very happy with the service from start to finish and would have no hesitation in recommending them to other public sector organisations.
I have been in post for about a year but, in that relatively short time, I have established an excellent working relationship with Sellick Partnership which is down to the character and genuine knowledge of the market provided by my consultant. I feel that they have taken the time to understand our needs and bring an invaluable insight into addressing the recruitment providing ideas and solutions to my assist my Financial Services team at a time when recruitment for the authority is proving difficult. I feel that I was asked probing but very pertinent questions during our conversations to gain a better and deeper understanding the Council’s needs. This has helped the Council to challenge the status quo and generate new ideas and opportunities for more effective and more efficient working arrangements. My consultant always has a friendly, open and honest approach to work, gaining respect within the Council and promoting Sellick Partnership as a trusted partner for the Council.
UHL has had a significant recruitment drive following a restructuring of the finance team, as a Leader in this area it was imperative I had some good relationships with reliable recruiters. A recruiter whom I can trust, who listens to the brief, provides appropriate candidates, does not use pushy sales tactics, and a recruiter who is available at short notice and responds promptly to help. Sellick Partnership have met these qualities and have really proven themselves with the service they have provided. They have worked outside office hours several times and have been very quick in providing good candidates but at the same time respects where it is judged the individual does not meet our requirements. I have my consultant on speed dial as my first port of contact given our relationship and would like to thank you her for the high-quality service she has provided to the Trust and wish it continues.
Harry at Sellick Partnership helped me massively in the whole recruitment process and acquiring my most recent role. He arranged for us to meet in person to get to know me better and get an idea of the types of roles I would be interested in. He then recommended roles which he thought I would be suitable for and helped me through the whole interview process. After I was successful in the interview and accepted the role he even took me out for lunch to celebrate which was a nice personal touch. Would highly recommend Harry at Sellick Partnership and most certainly will ask if I need any help in future!
