We've sat where your team sits.
Talencia is built and run by ex-accountants. We've worked inside CA firms, navigated commercial finance environments and understood what good looks like from the inside — not just from a job description.
When we brief a candidate about your role, we're not reading from a spec sheet. We're drawing on lived experience. And when we screen candidates, we know what questions actually reveal fit.
"Most hiring processes are built around speed. Ours is built around accuracy — because the cost of the wrong hire is far higher than the cost of taking it seriously."— Talencia founding philosophy
Specialist roles across commercial & public practice.
Our focus is narrow by design. Accounting and finance — full stop. That depth means better networks, faster shortlists and candidates who understand your environment without a learning curve.
For businesses building or scaling their internal finance capability — from the first-hire FC through to CFO search.
From boutique practices to mid-tier and Big 4 — graduates through to senior managers and partner-track roles.
Surge capacity, parental leave cover or system implementation support — placed quickly, with the same care and process.
Six stages. One process. One point of contact.
Every engagement runs through the same framework. A clear process from the first brief through to a one-year post-placement review. Precision over volume. You'll always know where things stand and why.
We start by understanding your business. Deeply. Then we define the role — the must haves, the good to haves, the culture and growth and what success looks like in 12 months.
We match candidates to your brief using structured criteria — not gut feel and a CV skim. Culture, trajectory and technical fit are weighted equally.
You receive a focused shortlist with a structured brief on each candidate. We brief them thoroughly on your business so interviews are substantive, not performative.
Structured, transparent, expectation-aligned interviews. Both parties walk in prepared and walk out confident. Nothing is left to chance.
We manage the offer process on both sides — aligning expectations before the number lands. Fewer counter-offers. Fewer last-minute drop-offs. Both sides start with their best foot forward.
Six structured check-ins over 12 months — measuring whether what you hired for is being delivered in practice. We stay close to both sides so issues surface early.
We don't disappear after signing day.
Our 1-year feedback loop is a structured check-in with both you and the candidate — measuring whether what was agreed at the start is being lived in reality. Six touchpoints. Both sides. Every time.
What working with a specialist actually looks like.
A structured, engineered approach to hiring. Less volume, more accountability. One person who knows your world. Here's what that looks like in practice.
Blueprint-based matching
Every candidate is matched against a structured role blueprint — not just a job description. Culture, trajectory and technical fit are all weighted.
Focused shortlists
You receive deeply qualified candidates, each with a comprehensive brief explaining why they've been selected. Your time is respected.
Built by ex-accountants
We've worked inside the roles we recruit for. That means sharper screening, better briefings and someone who speaks your language — without needing it explained.
12-month accountability
Our 1-year feedback loop holds us accountable to the outcome — not just the placement. We stay close after the start date, ironing out wrinkles along the way.
Partner, not vendor
We invest in understanding your business — the team structure, the growth plans, the culture. You deal with one person who stays close from the first brief to twelve months in. That's not a service model. That's just how it works here.
Offer & negotiation support
We manage both sides of the offer process — aligning expectations before the number lands, reducing counter-offers and any last-minute withdrawals.
