Sowena Group

Sowena pronounced 'so - when - er' It's Cornish for success. We're a specialist finance and accountancy recruitment business, built on transparency, trust, and long-term relationships. We support high-growth and private equity/VC-backed businesses by finding the right finance talent - from newly qualified and part-qualified roles through to CFO, C-suite, and executive leadership. We work closely with founders, CEOs, and CFOs, acting as a genuine partner rather than a transactional recruiter. Now private equity backed ourselves, we’re set up to grow alongside the businesses we support. What sets us apart is Kelmi Intelligence, our data-led platform and the first of its kind in recruitment. It gives candidates a clear, honest view of a business before they step into the interview process - from key financial performance and growth plans to leadership structure, tech stack, culture, and flexibility. For our clients this means the right people lean in, the wrong ones self-select out, leading to faster hires, stronger alignment, and leaders who stay for the long term. Whether you’re building a finance team or planning your next career move, we’re here to help you make informed decisions and get it right first time.
