It’s been some journey, right?
You’re an ambitious SME that’s attracted interest, investment, and revenue.
You’ve hit your early-stage milestones, achieved major successes. Now, the next step.
Growing from £1m to £5m turnover - and more - isn’t just about sales. It’s also about cash control, insightful reporting, intelligent planning, and robust financial decisions.
You need a Finance Director. Or… you think you might.
At Fleet Recruitment, we specialise in helping SMEs appoint Your First Finance Director, giving you the financial leadership you need to scale with confidence.
We help you understand if, when and why you need an FD, what you need them to do, and how to appoint the right person for your next stage of growth.

• We know what Your First FD needs to deliver
• You hire the right person, the right knowledge and experience, at the right time

Planning is tricky. If you’re contemplating the need for Your First FD in the next 12-18 months, it’s not too early to start a conversation.
Sean will spend 2-3 hours with you at your premises, to discuss where you are and where you plan to go.
Sean gets to know you and your business, so that he fully understands your position and requirements.
You take advantage of Sean’s experience in starting, managing and growing SME finance functions, and recruiting First FDs.
Together, you set the ball rolling.
We’ll keep in touch on a schedule that works for you, and we’ll keep an eye out for the perfect candidate.And our consultation fee will be deducted from any future recruitment fee!
We will show your team how to:
• Set up your profile to be found and be credible
• Create an audience and network of people that want your product or service
• Produce content in a way that is pain free and takes minimal time
• Engage with prospects to nurture them into your pipeline
• Review the data so you know what's working, and repeat
More importantly, we take the time to understand your world.
We’ve all left training environments full of plans to implement, and then get back into the day job - never finding the time to adopt our new knowledge and habits.
Your team will leave with the work already completed, and ready to spend minimal time completing the simple daily actions steps. No more hours wasted scrolling or thinking about what to post.
Due to the interactive, hands on nature of the workshop, this is best suited to groups of up to 12 people.
Each team member will leave with a toolkit and a check list to follow, that is proven to generate leads when applied consistently.
