  • When should I consider Fractional hiring?

    You should consider a Fractional hire when your business needs senior finance expertise to solve a specific challenge or support growth, but does not yet require a full-time hire.


    This is often the case during periods such as scaling, improving financial visability or building structure within the finance function. A Fractional leader gives you access to the right level of experience at the right time, allowing you to address key priorities without commiting to five-day-a-week role.

  • Is fractional hiring the same as part-time?

    Fractional means that you don't employ them full-time; the duration varies from client to client. 


    The Fractional candidate will likely have a portfolio of other clients they are also supporting fractionally. They can often flex their time up or down as required, making it an attractive option if a business is growing or unsure of its exact needs.

  • How does Tenzing take an advisory approach to finance recruitment?

    We work closely with the client, listening to their problem or business need and then guiding and advising them to a solution. 


    Our huge point of difference is that we can offer Fractional, Interim, and Permanent solutions. Meaning ultimately the client gets the best solution for them at a cost that works too. 

  • Why does Tenzing believe in building communities and supporting peer to peer relationships?

    We believe the best decisions are rarely made in isolation. As a Founder, Lisa Collins understands the value of having a trusted network to share ideas with, sense-check challenges and learn from others who are navigating similar situations. 


    Our communities are designed to create that environment, a space to have open, honest conversations, gain perspetive and build meaningful conversation. 

    Our communities

  • When should we in-house our finance team?

    This typically becomes the right step as your business grows in complexity, for example, with higher revenue, increased reporting recruitments, audit readiness, or expansion into a new market. 


    Many businesses start with fractional support to define the structure and timing, before transitioning to a full-time, in-house team with clarity and confidence.

  • Do you only recruit on a retained, headhunting basis?

    We typically work in a retained or exclusive partnership, as it allows us to dedicate the time, insghts and market access needed to deliver the best possible outcome. This approach ensures a more thorough, considered search and access to the strongest talent in the market. 


    That said, we understand every business is different. We offer flexible solutions, including contingent and tailored approaches, depending on your business needs and the nature of the hire.approaches
