Emma Smith

I lead the permanent team across Northern Home Counties, as well as being a qualified accountancy recruiter. I recruit all positions that sit within the accounts/finance department that require a professional accountancy qualification (ACA, ACCA, CIMA).

Specialist Area

I specialise in all positions that require a professional accountancy qualification (ACA, ACCA, CIMA) mainly in small and medium sized organisations across Northern Home Counties (Herts, Beds, Bucks & Cambs). I pride myself on working with business owners, finance and HR leaders to understand and map out their requirements, then deliver a plan to attract the best person that matches what they and the company are looking for.

My Advice

When seeking to engage a recruiter there is so much choice and it can be a minefield. Always check references, these are vital when deciding who you want to represent your company or take your CV to market. Build and maintain a LinkedIn profile, it's such a valuable tool and allows you to network with professionals and keep updated with trends and news in so many different sectors.

My Background

I initially started my career in asset management supporting financial advisers. I moved into recruitment because I have a passion for finance and enjoy nothing more than meeting business owners to understand how their business operates.

I have been in recruitment now for 8 years and absolutely love it. I have been lucky to work for some great companies and with lovely people. I have always been in finance/accountancy recruitment and pride myself on being technically knowledgeable.
