What does the landscape look like for Finance recruitment in 2027?
The outlook for finance recruitment in 2027 looks positive. While many organisations have taken a cautious approach to hiring in recent years, underinvesting in talent for long periods isn't sustainable. Finance remains a key function, helping businesses manage risk, make informed decisions and support growth.
AI will continue to automate routine tasks, increasing demand for finance professionals who can interpret data, influence decisions and work closely with stakeholders. Employers are likely to place more value on adaptability, commercial awareness and AI literacy alongside strong technical accounting skills. Specialist experience in areas such as FP&A, finance transformation, systems and business partnering is also expected to remain in demand.
What's one thing companies could do better when recruiting for Finance roles?
Move faster when making hiring decisions. Top finance candidates are often part of several interview processes, so long delays between stages or slow feedback can mean missing out on strong talent. Companies that communicate clearly, make decisions quickly and create a good candidate experience are more likely to secure the people they want to hire.
Trust market feedback. It's easy to focus on finding someone who ticks every box, but that person may not be available or may not align with your compensation expectations. Listening to market insights and keeping an open mind can help businesses hire more effectively, reduce time to hire and find the right person sooner.
