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 and 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 — Graduate's through to Senior Manager's and Partner-track roles.
Surge capacity, parental leave cover or system implementation support — placed fast, with the same engineering rigour.
What working with Talencia actually looks like.
Every engagement runs through the same six-stage framework. No shortcuts, no spray and pray. Precision over volume from the first brief to the one year post-placement review.
We go beyond the job description. We map team dynamics, culture, growth trajectory and what success in this role actually looks like after 12 months.
We match candidates to your brief using structured criteria, not gut feel and a CV skim. Using tech-driven insights, culture, trajectory and technical fit are weighted equally.
You receive a focused shortlist with a structured brief explaining exactly why they've been selected.
We brief candidates thoroughly on your business, your team and what you're looking for. We set expectations so interviews are substantive, not performative.
We manage the offer process on both sides while aligning expectations before the number lands. Fewer counteroffers. Fewer last minute drop-offs.
We support both parties through contract review and signing — ensuring nothing is ambiguous, and both sides enter the relationship clearly.
We prepare the candidate for day one — what to expect, how to land well and how to build trust quickly inside your team.
Six structured check-ins at Day 1, Week 1, Month 1, Quarter, Half Year and Annual — measuring whether what you hired for is being delivered in practice.
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 makes the process different.
A structured, engineered approach to hiring designed around outcomes, not activity. Here's what that means 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. Your time is respected.
Built by ex-accountants
We've worked inside the roles we recruit for. That means sharper candidate screening, better briefings and a team that speaks your language.
12-month accountability
Our 1-year feedback loop holds us accountable to the outcome. Not just the placement. We guide the hire after start date. Ensuring a smooth transition and ironing out wrinkles along the way.
Partner, not vendor
We invest in understanding your business — your team structure, your growth plans, your culture. We're a long-term hiring partner, not a one-off transaction.
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.
