What sets us apart

Strategic hiring for lasting success

Keeper works with finance teams who value a sharper shortlist over a longer one. Every search is led end-to-end by a senior consultant, shaped around your business.

Precision over volume

A shortlist of three to five, assessed against your brief. Not fifteen CVs to sort.

Clear advice

We tell you what we think about the market, the role, and the candidates. Even when it slows things down.

Built for the long term

A good hire at month twelve matters more than a fast one at month one. Retention is how we measure success.

What we're built for

Hiring challenges we solve

Too many CVs

We send a shortlist of three to five candidates assessed against your specific brief, not a pile of CVs to sort through.

Hires that don't last

Our placements stay. We assess for long-term fit with your team and business, not just the skills match, which is why 80% of our placements are still in role after three years.

No finance expertise

We recruit exclusively across the finance function and its systems, so we understand the technical requirements generalist agencies do not.

Finance is evolving

Modern finance teams need systems specialists, not just accountants. We recruit across TechnologyOne, Workday, Acumatica, IFS, and the AI tools reshaping how finance operates.

Unsure what to pay

We benchmark every brief against live market data and recent placements, so you know where your offer sits before you go to market.

Risk of a bad hire

We back our placements. If a hire does not work out within the agreed period, we run the search again at no additional cost.

Testimonials

"

Ben is an exceptional recruiter and a true matchmaker. He took the time to listen, understand our organisation's values and structure, and consistently presented candidates who were a strong cultural fit. His insight, dedication, and intuitive approach to matching talent with opportunity make him a valuable partner in any hiring process.

Hasbe Bakar Treasury Manager, The Salvation Army

I was very impressed with his professionalism, courteous demeanour, and willingness to assist wherever possible. He connected me to a few industry professionals and within two weeks, I landed the job of my dreams at a major consulting firm. His true interest in my career aspirations and not making me feel like just a number are some of the many reasons I would encourage any job seeker to use his services.

Carmie Wandrag Senior Manager, Deloitte Australia

Ben has excellent knowledge of the finance and accounting landscape. He recruited me for a role a few years ago, and I have remained in the position ever since. He has a keen eye for talent and has successfully recruited several of my other team members, contributing to a strong and cohesive team.

Bri Bewley Treasury, The Salvation Army

Easily approachable and highly professional. Ben listened and understood my career pathway and goals, and promptly guided me in the right direction. I would not have found the right opportunity that quickly without his assistance. I would strongly recommend engaging with Ben.

Min Kong Manager, Deloitte Australia

I have worked with Ben as both a client and a customer. During those times I have found him to be engaging and meticulous. He listened to what was required and was dedicated to the task, helping me to fulfil my requirements. I have no hesitation in recommending Ben as a partner.

Steve Owens Financial Controller, Calvary Healthcare

A highly professional and quality recruiter. Ben has always maintained effective communication and was genuinely interested in my profile. Always honest regarding the job descriptions. I would highly recommend engagements with Ben.

Sunny Solanki Finance Manager, Westpac

Frequently asked questions

For most permanent roles at manager level and below, we typically present shortlisted candidates within 5 to 10 business days. Senior executive roles such as CFO or Financial Controller can take 2 to 4 weeks depending on brief complexity and candidate availability. Contract and interim placements are often faster, with candidates available within 48 to 72 hours in many cases.

We recruit across the full spectrum of finance and systems roles, including CFO, Financial Controller, Finance Manager, Management Accountant, Financial Accountant, Systems Accountant, Finance Business Partner, Payroll Manager, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, and Treasury. We also run a dedicated national TechnologyOne practice placing consultants, implementation specialists, and systems accountants across ANZ.

Permanent recruitment fees are typically charged as a percentage of the candidate's first-year base salary, commonly ranging from 12% to 25% depending on the seniority of the role and the terms agreed. Contract placements are usually charged on a mark-up basis. We are happy to discuss our fee structure in more detail when you get in touch with us directly.

We recruit nationally across Australia and New Zealand. Our accounting and finance desk is anchored in Melbourne, and our finance systems and TechnologyOne practice covers projects wherever they are.

Direct hiring works well when you have a strong employer brand, time on your side, and a role that attracts strong applicants through job boards. For most accounting and finance roles at manager level and above, those conditions rarely all apply at once. The strongest candidates are not scrolling SEEK. They are employed, performing well, and only open to a move if the right conversation finds them at the right time. That is where we add value. We reach people your advertising never will, assess them properly, and only put forward candidates we would genuinely back. Find out how we help employers.
