What Our Customers Say…

We have worked with some amazing people over the decades. Fortunately, they have some kind words to say about us too, here are some of them.

Leslie was great in keeping me updated with the status of my application, and getting back to me promptly when there were updates. Going through job applications is a stressful process and so the speed of communication was really appreciated. He was also transparent with any advice he had for me, and was just a phone call away if ever I needed any assistance – would definitely recommend!
JS (Corporate Finance Partner)

I have had the pleasure of working with Leslie over the years and have found him to be a true professional and a genuinely nice person too. As an employer, I intend to work with Leslie in the future as the need arises in my Practice, he will be my first port of call when I am hiring. As a candidate I am aware that Leslie has a strong network from independent practices to large multi-national firms. I’d highly recommend Leslie and McGinnis Loy Associates to both employers and candidates alike.
DR (Audit Partner)

It was a pleasure working with McGinnis Loy Associates. They listen, give great advice and provide what you’re looking for. You’re 100% in good hands.
SA (Corporate Finance Analyst)

I have worked with Leslie on both a Personal and Professional basis. Leslie has a keen eye for detail and an intuitive nature which serves him well on both fronts. He always meets deadlines, is always aware of your objectives and helps you meet them on a timely basis. I have no hesitation in recommending Leslie or McGinnis Loy, I have always found them professional and highly competent.
JL (EMEA Payroll Director)

McGinnis Loy helped me find my job in Corporate Finance – lead advisory. They are very helpful and always provide useful tips. I would recommend anyone that is working in Audit/Tax and looking to switch to Corporate Finance to use McGinnis Loy Associates
WZ (Corporate Finance Analyst)

Leslie is great to work with. He takes time to work with the client in true partnership, investing in the long term. He is realistic, professional, reliable, dedicated and great value – and I am happy to endorse him
JD (HR Director)

I cannot recommend Leslie enough. This was the first time in 6 years I had been looking to secure a new position. He worked closely with me from initial contact, through to the interview stage and job offer. Leslie completely understood and respected my busy working hours throughout the entire process, ensuring all communication worked for my schedule. He advocated for me and kept me updated at every stage. I would be very happy to work with Leslie again and will be sure keep in contact with him. I would recommend Leslie to anyone in their job search.
EO (Corporate Finance Analyst)

When I was moving out of my training firm, Leslie was recommended by multiple friends who were placed by him in very good roles. Leslie understood what I was looking for and helped me secure the perfect role which I have now been in for six years. Over this time I have continuously relied on his advice to assess how my progression will impact me long term. I have relied on his wisdom and honesty and consider him a friend for this very reason, and for his utmost integrity.
GC (Tax Director)

Their insight, challenge and encouragement built on a base of pragmatism and industry acumen was invaluable in presenting opportunities to me and supporting me through the interview process. It was a pleasure to work with McGinnis Loy and I would be happy to do so in the future.
CH (FP&A Manager)

Leslie has helped me find 2 of my personal tax positions after I became a qualified tax adviser. I found him approachable, friendly and understanding of my situation and felt that he knew what firms would be the ‘right fit’ for me. Leslie is knowledgeable of the finance, accounting and tax sector and I trust his judgement. I have also worked with Leslie to try and fill positions within my team. Again, Leslie has been approachable, and understanding of our requirements and which candidates he thinks would be suitable. He has kept us in the loop and provided updates as necessary and always seeks to obtain and give feedback to improve our working relationship.
SC (Tax Director)

Leslie is very a professional consultant and he worked closely with me to find a suitable job to match my skills and qualifications. He was constantly in touch with me to update the status of my job search and made the process very easy. I would highly recommend his services to any experienced finance professionals looking for vacancies. Thank you for all the help and guidance!
