Success stories

Solution

Since 2019, we have partnered closely to scale their finance function from approximately six to 30 people (as of 2025). This has included hiring across the full finance spectrum, from accounts payable through to financial control, as well as supporting feasibility analysis and financial modelling for major developments. 

We have also helped establish dedicated tax and treasury functions, including leadership roles with direct reports. All engagements have been delivered on a retained basis, alongside the placement of interim resources to support periods of rapid growth and, more recently, a finance and technology transformation.

Solution

We have supported the airline by placing a range of interim finance professionals across their workforce. Through a long-standing, trusted relationship, we have developed a strong understanding of the experience, fit and cultural alignment required to support the business through change. 

Our approach has enabled the organisation to maintain continuity and agility during periods of transformation, with each engagement aligned to both operational requirements and the broader culture of the business.

Solution

We first partnered with the business in December 2023, supporting the finance team with an interim contractor during the year-end period. This was followed by the successful placement of a Tax Manager in a newly created standalone role based in Melbourne, with reporting lines into South Africa. 

Our partnership has continued to evolve, including the placement of an additional contractor who was subsequently converted to a permanent employee and sponsored, alongside two further permanent hires across Financial Analysis and Systems. We were also engaged to deliver on a Systems Analyst role that had previously been taken to market without success, completing the assignment within three weeks. 

All engagements have been delivered on a retained basis, reflecting the strength of the ongoing relationship and trust built with the business.

Solution

We were engaged urgently and immediately activated our network, supported by a targeted market mapping exercise to identify leading IT/IP talent across Brisbane. 

In the short term, we secured a senior lawyer to join the firm on a contract basis, ensuring continuity and stabilising the team. In parallel, we proactively approached key Partner-level talent in the market, managing a streamlined interview and selection process. 

Within a matter of weeks, we presented a curated shortlist, progressed a preferred candidate through to offer and successfully appointed a Partner, who joined the firm shortly thereafter, bringing a Senior Associate with them.

Solution

Within 10 business days of being briefed, we leveraged our networks alongside a targeted search process to identify high-quality procurement professionals. Both roles were successfully placed, strengthening the team while meeting budget and timing requirements. The client noted that we “delivered exceptional candidates within our budget and timelines” and described the process as “seamless.”
