Senior Finance & Leadership Appointments (Interim/Contract/Permanent)

Sarah Rotheram has spent over 20 years building a career in financial recruitment, specialising in Temporary & Permanent Senior Finance and Qualified Accounting appointments across Chester, Cheshire, North Wales, the Wirral and Merseyside.

Throughout her career, Sarah has worked for two of the UK’s leading multinational finance recruitment organisations, developing extensive market knowledge across the North West and Central London.  Over the years, she has seen first-hand how the right opportunity can genuinely change someone’s life whether that’s helping a candidate progress their career, improve their work-life balance, regain confidence after redundancy, or simply find a role and company where they truly feel valued and happy.

That passion for making a real difference is what continues to drive Sarah today.

Sarah specialises in senior finance and leadership recruitment across commerce, industry and the not-for-profit sector, partnering with organisations ranging from blue-chip corporates and international businesses to local SMEs. She takes pride in building long-term relationships with both clients and candidates, taking the time to understand not just the technical requirements of a role, but the personalities, ambitions and culture fit behind every successful placement.

After spending two decades within large corporate recruitment environments, Sarah launched her own boutique consultancy to offer a more personal, honest and tailored approach. Combining the professionalism, structure and best practice of larger firms with the flexibility and care of a local specialist recruiter, she is committed to delivering a recruitment service built on trust, integrity and genuine partnership.

Sarah’s reputation has been built through referrals, repeat business and long-standing relationships something she values enormously. For her, recruitment has never simply been about filling vacancies; it’s about helping businesses grow and helping people find careers they genuinely enjoy.

By drawing on the experience, training and industry knowledge gained throughout her career, Sarah has created a recruitment business built on integrity, expertise, compliance and genuine partnership. Her commitment to service excellence has resulted in a loyal client and candidate network, with many returning time and again for trusted recruitment support and career guidance.

Outside of recruitment, Sarah is passionate about health, well being and maintaining a positive work-life balance. When she’s not working with clients and candidates, you will usually find her spending time with her much-loved Labradors, at the gym, practising yoga or Pilates, or generally keeping fit and active. Her energetic and people-focused personality is something that naturally carries through into both her professional and personal life.
