Finance & Accounting
Led by Michael de la Torre

The search begins with what the role must achieve, how it supports the organisation and the capability required beyond the position description.

Mandate context
The same title can require a very different person.
The same Finance Director title may require very different judgement, operating style and technical depth across private, listed, professional-services and project-led organisations.
- Ownership and governance environment
- Size and complexity of the finance function
- Industry and commercial model
- Growth, turnaround or transformation context
- Reporting, compliance and regulatory requirements
- Leadership, stakeholder and board exposure
- Systems, data and process maturity
- Location and market availability
Director-led search
A finance search requires more than matching a résumé to a title.
Rhodes & Co. clarifies the commercial result, reporting environment and leadership expectations before defining the market. Assessment considers technical capability, judgement, leadership and stakeholder credibility in context.
Market context before shortlist volume.
- Direct briefing with the director managing the mandate
- Honest feedback on market availability and remuneration
- Registered and verified professional relationships
- Direct approaches to professionals outside the active market
- Wider recruitment activity where the mandate requires it
- Considered introductions rather than padded shortlists
