Finance recruitment in Somerset.
Accountancy and finance hiring across Somerset, from Taunton and Bridgwater to Yeovil and Weston-super-Mare.
What we see in Somerset.
Across Somerset, we're seeing some fantastic entrepreneurial businesses reaching for their next phase of growth, through organic expansion or inward investment. Food and beverage manufacturing is a standout, as well as broader manufacturing and specialist aerospace and defence services companies. Somerset isn't always the easiest county to navigate by road or rail, so local candidate catchment areas have a direct influence on the hybrid working patterns that help attract and retain talent.
We've supported a growing renewables asset management firm with an Accounts Assistant hire, a manufacturer and distributor with a Commercial Finance Manager hire, and a construction services business near Yeovil with a Financial Controller appointment.
