Many businesses reach out after feeling underwhelmed by high-volume agencies or overly rigid processes.
Abbeygate Search was set up to offer something simpler - clear advice, honest conversations, and a consistent point of contact throughout.
The focus is on understanding the business properly, taking the time to search well, and making introductions that still make sense long after the hire is made.
Abbeygate works with start-ups, owner-managed businesses and more established teams — typically where finance and wider head office functions are structured leanly and each hire has a real impact.
Support is often needed during periods of growth or change, particularly when internal time or hiring expertise is limited.
Based in Hertfordshire, Abbeygate works with businesses across the UK where there’s a clear fit and a shared approach.
Finance & Accountancy
From transactional and part-qualified roles through to senior finance leadership, supporting teams where judgement and trust really matter. Work typically spans day-to-day finance, commercial finance and senior hires, shaped around the stage of the business.
Interim & Temporary Support
Short-term support where timing really matters. Interim and temporary appointments during periods of change, growth or transition - without compromising on fit.
Wider Head Office Roles
Support for closely aligned head office roles within growing teams. Typically commercial, operations, sales support and administrative positions where finance works closely with the wider business.
Discreet & Targeted Searches
Not every hire needs to be loud. Quieter, more targeted searches where discretion, context and good judgement are important — often for senior or sensitive hires.
A more considered job search.
If you’re exploring your next move, you’ll find a more straightforward experience here.
Honest conversations. Clear feedback. No pressure to move unless it’s right.
Most roles sit within finance and accountancy, with occasional head office opportunities where there’s a clear fit.
If staying put is the right move, we’ll say so.
