London based FD and CFO Recruitment Boutique

Our blog is full of interesting posts and informative articles covering topics of interest to FD's and CFO’s

Welcome to our new website and blog, FD Capital is now up and trading and we are active in the specialist niche area of Portfolio / Part-Time Finance Directors but also the mainstram FD recruitment niche. Our backgrounds are as Finance Directors ourselves so we know first hand all about the role of an FD, we training with Medium sized accountancy practices ourselves then moved into Industry, reaching the top roles after a few years within private companies and Plc’s.

We’ve also been entrepreneurs ourselves (and are again now!), we ran a online community site back in 2006 which grew to over 550,000 members and then a E-Commerce business offering Domain Registration, Web hosting, web design and app development, so we are comfortable in the entrepreneurial space and tech savy also. Our first business was backed by an angel investor, that gave us the funds to invest into our second business, so we were the backers for that, and therefore know what it means to have “skin in the game”.

Our plans are to build up FD Capital, initially finding work for our internal team, then in time, to expand out and recruit FD’s for our customers. We are working with Private Equity houses to bring in work and at the same time marketing ourselves online to attract SME customers. We see these two channels as the most appropriate, we know of similar companies in this niche who pick up work from the banks and their turnaround teams, so while we don’t have contacts in this area it is something we would like to develop over time. If you work in a bank’s recovery team and are reading this blog, then make sure to reach out to us!
