We asked a selection of the FinanceMark team what made them decide to switch to a career in recruitment and their thoughts on working their (yes…these are their words!).


Kate Muller – Consulting Manager

What were you doing before FinanceMark and what made you switch?
I worked for 13 years in accounting & finance across a number of industries such as Import, Distribution, Wholesale, Publishing, Medical and IT. I was also studying part-time and being a Mum! But I was craving more interaction with people. I really identified with Owen’s ad “Do you prefer people to P&L’s?”.

What do you love about your career with FinanceMark?
The most interesting aspect is that, unlike numbers which you can’t always control, people can be somewhat changeable! It keeps you on your toes and I thrive on the fast pace and the flexibility really suits me as a working mother. I can truly say I’ve never woken up and not wanted to come in here. I love the team environment. We know how to have fun!

If you could do any job in the world what would it be?
Recruitment consulting of course!

Alyssa Field – Recruitment Coordinator

What were you doing before FinanceMark and what made you switch?
I had been busy studying a B. Bus and Comm (Human Resources and Industrial Relations) at UWS, Parramatta. To get some office experience whilst studying I found myself as an Accounts Clerk in a multinational small goods company. As a true HR fanatic I quickly learned that accounting was not for me! It was then that I stumbled upon a position with FinanceMark. What a perfect match, not only do I love the HR aspect of recruiting but I have also had experience in Accounting!

What do you love about your career with FinanceMark?
Being able to speak and meet with so many different candidates and clients! I am learning how to put the theory part of my degree into reality and what actually happens in the workforce not just in books! I have also learned so much about the accounting function and how it is an integral part of any organisation. It sure has been a rollercoaster ride and I am loving every twist and turn!

If you could do any job in the world what would it be?
A HR manager so that I can make sure the recruitment process is not outsourced so that we can use FinanceMark and all of its affiliates!

Deborah Cochrane – Consultant

What were you doing before FinanceMark and what made you switch?
Before FinanceMark I spent 6 years with two large second-tier accounting firms in their Business Services divisions. I began my accounting career as an undergraduate cadet and while working, completed my Commerce degree and then the CA Program in 2004. However, while working in public practice, I wanted to explore a more “people-related” field.

What do you love about your career with FinanceMark?
Every assignment is different and every day presents new challenges. The team here are very professional and supportive. We’ve all come from an accounting or HR background which makes an enormous difference as we can really understand the roles we are recruiting for. I love working for an organisation that makes a positive difference in peoples’ lives. Offering someone their dream job and receiving positive feedback from candidates and clients is extremely rewarding.

If you could do any job in the world what would it be?
I can’t imagine doing anything else!
