DIRECTOR OF FINANCIAL PLANNING & ANALYSIS

A prominent Canadian owned and operated automotive group reached out to Osborne Recruitment to support sourcing top tier talent to fill a Director of FP&A for their organization; a position previously held by a long tenured, well-respected employee. With over 75+ locations across North America, the company needed a partner with a robust network of diverse candidates who could implement and execute on recruitment strategies to meet crucial timelines. Five well-vetted candidates were presented to the client and interviews arranged allowing the client to select the perfect financial director to join, carry on, and add to the strong foundation built by the predecessor.

STAFF ACCOUNTANT

Osborne Recruitment continues to engage with top accounting talent at various stages of their career. A small boutique firm in Toronto has relied on Osborne to assist with ensuring seamless business continuity. Osborne has sourced and presented great candidates as the client has executed on their steady growth trajectory. As candidates grow in their careers, gain experience onsite and complete additional credentials, there are times where they choose to move onto larger national firms. The client is proud to be a mentor and provide a foundation of best practices for these candidates and know they can leverage Osborne’s expertise and strong candidate pool to backfill these crucial roles. Osborne is a valuable partner and acts as an extension of the team securing talent proactively to eliminate any gaps in operations.

REGIONAL CONTROLLER

Osborne was chosen to take on an exclusive partnership to source a Regional Controller for a large-scale multi-location retail automotive dealership. The Controller position became available based on a retirement and a new leader was needed to ensure continuity with an extremely complex P&L system.

Osborne Recruitment’s Senior Consultants outlined detailed parameters for their search initiatives to address the specific nuances of the role as well as the varying onsite environments that the Controller would be active in. The candidates successfully completed the interview process with the position ultimately going on hold while the organization restructured. The client felt that two of the four presented candidates were ideal company fits and determined that they would be considered for alternative roles within the finance team.

Whether supporting leadership succession, scaling finance teams, or safeguarding operational continuity, Osborne Recruitment North America is committed to being a trusted partner at every stage of growth.
