Oakhill Recruitment is an Accountancy & Finance specialist founded by Richard Newcombe in 2017.

Richard has more than 20 years' experience recruiting exclusively within the Accounts & Finance market.

Recruitment Across the Full Finance Function

Permanent

From Accounts Assistants and Payroll professionals through to Financial Controllers, Finance Directors and CFOs.

Temporary

Flexible finance recruitment support shaped around each organisation's requirements.

Contract

Specialist finance professionals for evolving business needs, including growing demand for interim accountants.

Oakhill Recruitment is known for its consultative, relationship-led approach, working closely with both clients and candidates to deliver long-term hiring solutions rather than simply filling vacancies.

Consultant-Led Technology

Oakhill combines traditional recruitment expertise with carefully selected AI tools to improve efficiency, market intelligence and candidate experience, while ensuring every search remains consultant-led.

Looking ahead, Oakhill is focused on expanding its presence across Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex and Cambridgeshire, growing its contract recruitment offering, and continuing to invest in technology that enables a smarter, more transparent recruitment process without losing the personal relationships that underpin every successful placement.

Recent Assignments:

  • Building a finance team from scratch for an acquisitive private equity construction business
  • Providing full market intelligence, salary benchmarking and job specification drafting
  • Growing demand for interim accountants

“Being part of the SSG Recruitment Partnerships and Korelate Solutions network gives me access to a community of experienced recruitment business owners who genuinely want to help each other succeed. It's a great environment for sharing ideas, challenging the way we work and learning from businesses operating in different markets. As Oakhill continues to grow, having that support and collective experience around us is incredibly valuable.

Being part of the network means I'm never making the big calls in isolation - there's real value in comparing notes with other recruitment owners who've faced the same growth decisions. It lets Oakhill stay true to our specialism whilst having the scope to offer clients full access to a recruitment network stretching across multiple sectors.”
