New specialism responds to rising demand for flexible finance talent as property companies navigate an uncertain, increasingly regulated market
London, 14th July - deverellsmith, the specialist property recruitment and talent consultancy, has launched a dedicated interim and contract solution for accounting and finance.
The new solution gives property companies a single, trusted partner for finance hires on a short-term, interim or project basis, whether covering a leadership gap, maternity or sickness leave, or a fixed-term project such as a systems implementation, refinancing or M&A process.
Interim hiring lets businesses access senior capability quickly, without committing to permanent headcount, and offers a lower-risk route to permanent hiring through temp-to-perm placements.
Finance within real estate carries its own nuances, from property and service charge accounting to client money handling, RICS compliance and the reporting demands of the Building Safety Act.
deverellsmith's vetted, sector-specific interim talent pool means clients are never starting a search from cold.
Kylie Fogden joins the new team after three years at deverellsmith as Head of Learning & Development, where she gained an intimate understanding of the business, its people and its standards.
She brings a background in high-performance sales and international experience across Asia and New Zealand, and now applies that relationship-led approach to connecting finance professionals, from CFOs seeking short-term firepower to FDs in transition, with property and real estate businesses across residential development, investment and real estate management.
Kylie Fogden said: "Property companies increasingly turn to interim and contract talent as a deliberate way to stay agile. When a senior finance person leaves, or a major project lands, there's rarely time to wait out a full permanent process. I lead with curiosity, ask better questions, and build relationships that last well beyond a single placement."
Andrew Deverell-Smith, Group CEO and Founder, added: "Kylie gives companies needing short to mid-term finance help the same depth and sector expertise they expect from us."
