MAST Architects, an award-winning Glasgow-based practice, specialises in residential, conservation, and community projects. When a key team member left, they needed a skilled bookkeeper who could step in immediately and keep their finances on track.

They turned to Rosie Hutcheon

Rosie is a specialist Recruitment Consultant in our Glasgow office, focusing on Accountancy and Finance. She understands the industry, the challenges businesses face, and—most importantly—what makes a great hire.

Rosie already had insight into MAST’s business and team culture, meaning she didn’t have to start from scratch. Instead, she quickly tapped into our extensive network and delivered two high-quality candidates in two days, both with the right skills and experience to hit the ground running.

From job brief to offer in just 1 week

Only two professionals. One stood out: Sandra.

She was skilled, experienced and looking for better work-life balance, – MAST’s offer of a four-day week sealed the deal. Her expertise and approach aligned perfectly with what MAST needed. They recognised her value and made an offer on the spot – no second interview needed.

The impact

In just three months, Sandra had already saved MAST £4,000 by streamlining financial processes and improving efficiency. She integrated seamlessly into the team and started making an impact from day one.

MAST were able to fill a critical role with speed and confidence, and without the hassle of a lengthy recruitment process.

What they had to say

Sandra’s experience speaks for itself:

“From the first point of contact I found Rosie to be polite and friendly, knowledgeable and professional when dealing with the new role and organising me for the interview.

Rosie was available and helpful when I had any queries, and she secured me a new position with ease.

It has been an absolute pleasure to deal with Rosie and she even managed to exceed my expectations in the new role that she secured for me.”

MAST Director David Denholm echoed that success:

“We were looking for a skilled and reliable bookkeeper to support our architecture practice, and Rosie from Certain Advantage made the entire process seamless.

From the outset, Rosie took the time to understand our business needs and company culture, ensuring they found the perfect candidate for MAST. Her professionalism, efficiency, and attention to detail were outstanding, and the quality of candidates she presented was excellent. Thanks to her expertise, we now have a fantastic bookkeeper who has quickly become an invaluable part of our team. I highly recommend Rosie and Certain Advantage to any business looking for top-tier recruitment support.”
