Tom Hunter

How Tom works

Tom's approach is personal, direct and relationship-led. He works closely with founders and leadership teams to understand not just the role, but the context, the culture and where the business is heading. The aim is long-term relationships built on free, honest market advice, rather than transactional placements.

The philosophy is built around storytelling, bringing as much colour and visibility to the process as possible, to promote and celebrate the businesses that we work with. The best finance leaders buy into the story of a business and the people within it. Where they have been and where they are going.

That approach pairs with genuine reach. Tom combines a relationship-led search process with deep access to the market through a 29,000+ finance network and 2,000,000+ annual LinkedIn views. There is no other Accounting & Finance recruiter in Australia with that level of reach, which is how he surfaces talent that is otherwise hidden or dormant.

What Tom writes about

Tom publishes practical, founder-facing guidance on the decisions he sees up close: when to make a finance hire, what it costs, how the best CFOs run the function, and the capital and equity calls that sit underneath. Each guide is written from the recruiter's seat, not the textbook.
