Regulated hiring

FCA-authorised roles narrow the field considerably. A Head of Compliance who has held a Senior Manager Function, or a CFO who has been through an FCA application, is a genuinely different candidate from one who has only worked adjacent to regulation. We map for that specifically rather than filtering CVs for keywords.

A London RegTech needed an FCA-experienced Head of Compliance without disturbing the market. Shortlist in four days, zero public advertising.

Compensation

A UK CFO typically commands £150k–250k, a Finance Director £110k–180k, and a Head of Compliance £80k–130k — with London carrying a premium over the regions and equity forming a larger share in venture-backed businesses.

ACCA-qualified professionals from India are increasingly sought after in London, and we run that corridor regularly — including the visa and notice-period practicalities.
