Nick Heap, Director
My approach is simple: I listen well and work hard. I take time to understand exactly what my clients and candidates really want and work tirelessly to make that a reality.
Since 2013, I have specialised in recruiting Accountancy & Finance professionals across Cambridge and the wider East Anglia area. As Business Manager & Recruitment Director at Reed, I led the Cambridge Accountancy and Finance division, supporting organisations of all sizes across industry and practice with permanent, fixed term and temporary hires.
Beginning my career in the fast-paced world of temporary transactional and part-qualified accountancy recruitment in Cambridge, I then focused on permanent senior finance hires.
I represent people properly, advise credibly and consistently deliver outcomes that last. I treat my candidates how I’d like to be treated by a recruiter, often reminding them it is their job search and life, not mine. I hope and believe this has helped me develop long-term relationships built on honesty and trust.
If you are hiring in Accountancy and Finance, exploring your next move, or simply want market insight then I’d love to chat.
