Anita Tweats
Brand new finance match-making company The Finance People has officially launched with its new website.
Finance specialist Anita Tweats started the finance recruitment business this summer offering finance experts that organisations in the UK can count on.
The Finance People has been developed to bring together finance specialists with businesses needing finance expertise to both support and to help drive the growth of their business forward.
With almost 20 years’ experience in the industry, Anita who boasts an MBA (Masters of Business Administrations) is already working towards pairing Financial Controllers and Finance Directors with companies in the region.
Operating a stringent process, Anita’s team are all finance qualified professionals enabling them to thoroughly understand the needs of a business resulting in the perfect pairing of finance staff with the company.
The new website has launched for likeminded finance specialists to access jobs and for businesses to reach out to potential new employees. It’s an informative platform which breaks the mould of a notoriously boring industry with superhero representations showcasing the aim of the company – to save the day with finance.
Anita commented: “At The Finance People we all have a finance background so we really understand the role requirements and the skill sets needed, we are consultative rather than transactional which is traditionally how most recruiters operate.
“Our aim is to partner with companies to find them the right person. By getting to know the organisation, which sometimes means having meetings that last two hours, we are able to understand their business plans and objectives, assist with succession planning and identify the operations and strategic gaps in their resources. We can then match their needs to the finance expert with the relevant skills.”
Although The Finance People is in its infancy it’s already seeing great success having worked with over 30 clients already.
Finance Director Paul Watson has already been successfully matched with Birmingham charity Active Wellbeing Society in an interim role.
Paul said: “The Finance People have been so impressive throughout my search for a new interim FD role. I felt that Anita took time to listen and got to know what I wanted from my next role. Anita also gained a good understanding of what value I could deliver to the prospective employer.
“The Finance People advised me on how to adapt my CV to highlight the experience that would address the specific needs of the client. When I met Karen Creavin, CEO of The Active Wellbeing Society it was clear that The Finance People had ensured a good match of values and behaviour.
“I am really pleased with my interim FD role at The Active Wellbeing Society. The role is a finance and business transformation role for a new start up carved out of Birmingham City Council. The role plays to my professional experiences and skills. It also fits well with the feeling of fulfilment of being part of the team delivering much needed wellbeing services to those who need it most in Birmingham.”
Karen Creavin Chief Executive, the Active Wellbeing Society added: “The Active Wellbeing Society is a new Mutual organisation that has been set up to deliver services to communities in the most need across Birmingham. As a start up with some significant delivery contracts, we needed to ensure good governance and a clear understanding of our cash flow issues. We realised we needed good finance support quickly.
“We contacted The Finance People and after a detailed discussion with Anita, she suggested some folk for us to meet who might be able to respond to our requirements. We needed intensive set up support, and then ongoing strategic financial input while we complete our first financial year. Through Anita, we were introduced to Paul, an experienced interim FD who is working with us to embed systems and support our business growth.
“I am delighted with the support we have had from the Finance People. It’s good to know that you can access their expertise easily and quickly, and we are continuing to benefit from their ongoing support.”
