In recent months at Auditworks, we have had dozens of conversations with financial auditors about their career development.
What stands out: more than a quarter of the professionals we speak to are open to a transition towards the business.
Think of active roles inside:
- Financial Control
- FP&A
- Internal Audit
- Corporate Reporting
- Broader finance management positions
Not always actively seeking. But consciously orienting themselves.
And that is exactly where the challenge often lies for Heads of Finance and Heads of Internal Audit: the best profiles do not always respond to active job listings.
They only move when the story makes sense, the timing is right, and the role content truly aligns with their ambitions.
That is why we do not believe in standard recruitment.
Within audit, finance, and internal audit, it's about network, timing, and substantive conversations. We often speak with professionals months before they actually make a move. As a result, we know who is latently open, which roles they match, and which environment actually fits them.
No CV-pushers. But a specialized recruitment partner who understands the market and career dynamics.
