Why choose Macildowie?

Personalised

It starts with a meeting. We want to take time to build our understanding of your business, your areas of focus, potential pain points and consult on the process. Clients we work with are ones that fully buy into the process and trust us to deliver.

Pricing

We have different levels of pricing structure, we will tailor this to suit your needs and work together that find a solution that everyone walks away feeling good about.

Process

Our process is always a consultative one, it’s important that we have full engagement with you throughout. We will draw a map of the process at the beginning with defined success milestones for us all to work towards.

Our team has a combined tenure of over 100 years recruiting for Accounting and Finance professionals in the East Midlands. We are able to leverage relationships developed over a number of years to deliver high quality consultative advice and recruitment and retention support.  We have a strong volume of repeat business where clients or candidates who have used us in the past, come back to Macildowie for further support, as they have been truly blown away by the quality and consistency of our Accounting and Finance recruitment offering.
We utilise a number of techniques and methodologies to give the client a fully holistic view of the candidate, which goes way beyond just the CV. We are able support clients with advice around the candidates’ technical, motivational and cultural fit to their role and organisation.
We see our role as not just Recruitment and Retention Consultants but also as Information Brokers for our candidate and client base. We are proud to have the most experienced and best networked Accounting and Finance Recruitment team in the East Midlands.  Through our highly successful series of CFO Forums we have partnered with RSM and Knights plc to deliver a suite of highly informative and educational forums for our client base. This year we have engaged guest speakers on a number of prevalent topics such as the impending UK SOX requirements, securing external funding, Research and Development Tax grants etc.
