Founded in 2011 in Southampton, August Clarke brings opportunities to our candidates and talent to our clients within the Finance and Accountancy sector. We recruit for contract and permanent personnel for all levels of finance roles.
It was not an easy market in 2011 with established competitors and tight margins. Part of the key to August Clarke’s subsequent success was an intense focus on customer service and providing complete service solutions across roles from Accounts Administration up to Finance Director.
Today August Clarke is still an independent provider of accountancy staff with longstanding clients and loyal relationships with its candidates. We believe our success down is down to a passion for the business and being able to attract the right people.
Our staff turnover is uniquely low and we have enduring relationships with both our clients and candidates. It’s a very simple formula at August Clarke, to provide the best possible service to our clients.
Our recruitment efforts are focused primarily on the South Coast and we were excited to announce the opening of our Salisbury office in late 2018. This makes us the first Accountancy recruitment business to open its doors in Salisbury. Offering an exclusive opportunity to work and meet with a local specialist in the sector.
If you have found yourself here, we hope you will take the next step and speak to one of our Consultants. We are sure you won’t look back.
