supporting finance leaders every step of the way

I worked with Rob Baker when I was searching for my first CFO position, and his approach was incredibly thorough. Rob’s commitment to identifying and introducing high-calibre candidates to his clients was evident from our first interview. He prepared me exceptionally well for each step of the process and kept me updated throughout. Rob was always responsive, highly professional, and approachable with any questions or concerns I had. Even after placing me in the role, he stayed in regular contact to ensure I was happy. I highly recommend Rob to both candidates and employers.

Rob’s approach to candidate placement is unique, as I experienced from our first engagement last year. He works closely with the company and candidate to ensure the best possible fit. His thoroughness, attention to detail, and insightful questioning helped me feel well-prepared for my interviews. This level of support was refreshing and instrumental in my successful placement in my current role. I would not hesitate to recommend Rob.

I had the pleasure of working with Robert Baker of The CFO Practice during my recent search for a new CFO opportunity. His thoughtful and professional approach guided me seamlessly through the recruitment process. As the retained search partner for the hiring company, Robert combined market insight with a refreshingly personal touch — always courteous, responsive, and genuinely invested in ensuring the right fit on both sides. What really stood out was how easy he made the process: clear communication, prompt feedback, and timely updates at every stage meant I always felt informed and supported. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Robert to any organisation seeking senior finance talent, or to CFOs considering their next move.

I cannot recommend Rob highly enough. His personable approach, thorough analysis of my experience and company requirements, and excellent communication made the entire process seamless. As well as skills and knowledge, he carefully assessed cultural fit to ensure both I and my company would be well-suited for each other. He kept me informed at every stage and was always available with valuable insights. It is clear that Rob prioritises creating long term relationships and providing the best results for all involved rather than any quick sale. Rob's professionalism and genuine commitment to creating the right match made what can be a stressful process remarkably positive.

I highly recommend Rob Baker to any candidate seeking new CFO or FD opportunities. Rob is an exceptional recruiter who truly understands the nuances of financial leadership roles and is dedicated to finding the best fit for your career. He is efficient, highly responsive, and kept me well informed throughout the entire process with Earth Security. Rob is also an outstanding communicator—clear, supportive, and genuinely invested in understanding my skills, experience, and career goals. He treats you as a person, not just a prospect, making you feel that he’s listening to you rather than selling to you.
