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.

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.

Ardgowan Distillery, Finance Director

Working with Fiona Ashcroft from Denholm on the role of Financial Controller, a critical role for our organisation, was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Her approach is not only professional but also genuinely caring. Fiona took the time to understand our company culture, the specific skills we needed, and the type of personality that would thrive in our team.

Communication was seamless throughout the process and beyond, and the candidates presented were all highly qualified, well-prepared, and aligned well with our requirements.

What impressed me most was Fiona’s dedication to finding the right fit, not just filling a position quickly. We selected an exceptional candidate who very quickly hit the ground running and has made a positive impact to the long-term success of the business.

I would highly recommend Fiona to any business looking for a recruitment partner who is efficient, attentive, and truly invested in your success.
