Accounting & Finance.
We understand the people behind the numbers.
Sewell Wallis places accounting and finance professionals into both practice and industry roles across Yorkshire, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, and Manchester. We recruit at every level, from accounts assistants, AAT trainees, and ACA training contracts through to audit seniors, tax managers, financial controllers, FP&A professionals, and finance directors.
Whether you're a Big 4 regional office, an independent practice, a PE-backed scale-up, or a FTSE-listed corporate, we understand how the accounting and finance talent market is moving across Yorkshire and the North.
We've spent over 20 years building specialist networks in local businesses and accounting firms across the region. That gives us a live read on where talent is moving, which skillsets are hardest to secure, and what candidates expect from employers in 2026.
Here's Why People Use Us To Hire Finance Talent.
Accounting and finance hiring is increasingly candidate-short, qualification-sensitive, and commercially driven. We screen for finance qualitications such as ACA, ACCA, CIMA, ATT, CTA, and CIPFA progression, alongside technical capability, commercial insight, ERP system experience, and data reporting tools such as Power BI.
Our network is built heavily around passive candidates, meaning we reach professionals who aren't actively applying for jobs but are open to the right opportunity. That gives our clients access to a significantly wider talent pool than advert-led recruitment alone. We benchmark salaries against live market data, advise on counter-offer risk, and help clients understand realistic hiring timelines before the process begins.
Our breakdown of the common mistakes in finance recruitment covers the failure points we see most often, and our retention strategies for accountants guide explores how to hold onto the talent you've hired.
For employers across Yorkshire and the North, Sewell Wallis is the trusted partner in accounting and finance recruitment. Brief us on your role and we'll get to work.
ACA-qualified accountants get sourced through direct headhunting and active referral networks rather than job adverts. We screen candidates against your firm's audit methodology, portfolio mix, and culture before shortlisting. Most ACA candidates are passive, so adverts capture only 20% of the available market.
