Allow me to introduce myself. I am Paul Ryan, the MD of RD Financial Recruitment. Let me share a few things about my accountancy background and why the team at RD are ideally placed to help with your accountancy recruitment.
The truth is I have worked in accountancy for most of my professional career, which includes over 18 years growing RD Financial Recruitment into one of the most respected Accountancy Recruitment firms in the South East.
I started my corporate accountancy career with Johnson and Johnson as an Accounting Trainee, and five years later I had moved to a Market Analyst role before I joined Del Monte; yes I was one of the men from Del Monte who said yes!
During my time at the Del Monte organisation, I developed my accounting knowledge and expertise holding the following roles; Finance Analyst, Finance Controller, Finance Systems Manager and latterly Consolidation and Strategic Manager.
During my time at Del Monte, I became responsible for the recruitment, training and development of the finance teams.
It was my time in this role that made me appreciate the huge gap in the accountancy recruitment market for a recruitment service delivered by a team that understands, in-depth, the many and varied finance roles growing organisations need.
So eighteen years ago, myself and Geoff Dowling, also a Chartered Management Accountant, launched RD Financial Recruitment.
At the same time, we were also involved in helping local businesses with their accounting requirements and offering individual companies invaluable strategic advice.
During this time, I became the part-time FD of two expanding pharmaceutical companies helping them grow from scratch to organisations with a combined turnover of over £15M.
It is this knowledge and expertise that has helped me support our recruitment clients and the hundreds of candidates we have placed.
I have known Paul for 10 years and he is a personable, knowledgeable professional. Highly qualified in his field and specialism, Paul runs an efficient and effective company, providing a quality service, delivering to client satisfaction. I have no hesitation in recommending Paul and RD recruitment.

I have been working with Paul now for a number of years, in fact my last 3 organisations! He is most definitely my preferred Finance Recruitment Expert, I have no hesitation in him meeting my hiring manager to understand their requirements in greater detail. The fact that he has held Senior Finance positions and has progressed down the exam route means that he really understands the career aspirations of his candidates and the business requirements of the organisation. I could not more highly recommend a Finance Recruiter and will definitely be using RD in my future recruitment needs.

I have worked with Paul over a period of years and he has provided excellent customer service during that time. We have made many successful hires through Paul and I believe this is down to him getting to know the business and culture so he could recommend the right candidates that as well as being technically competent that would have the right cultural fit.
