PJT Executive Search - Appointing Partners Who Drive Growth

PJT Executive Search is a specialist search firm focused exclusively on Partner and Director appointments within UK accountancy practices.

We advise ambitious firms across Corporate Finance and Private Client Tax, supporting leadership hires that influence revenue, succession planning and long-term firm value.

Our track record spans appointments within Big 4, Top 10 and high-growth boutique firms. We understand the nuances between institutional environments and entrepreneurial partnerships, and how leadership expectations differ across them.

At this level, hiring is not transactional. It is strategic.

Equity structures, client portability, cultural alignment and commercial impact all matter. A mis-hire is expensive. The right appointment can reshape a service line or accelerate a firm’s growth trajectory.

We work closely with Managing Partners, service line leaders and investors navigating:

• Expansion into new markets
• Succession and retirement planning
• PE-backed growth strategies
• Lateral Partner acquisitions
• Strengthening specialist Corporate Finance and Private Client offerings

Our approach is discreet, relationship-led and commercially focused. Every assignment is handled directly and confidentially.

We are not a volume recruiter.

We specialise in senior appointments that shape firms.
