Michael Muir, Founder

Two decades of London Recruitment

With 20 years of recruitment expertise—nine at BSR—I partner with London’s leading private equity, asset management, and alternative investment firms to build best-in-class finance teams.

These professionals don’t just manage numbers—they drive commercial impact, financial strategy, and business growth.

I go beyond traditional recruitment, combining precision, strategy, and deep market insight to ensure every placement strengthens both the firm and the candidate’s long-term trajectory.

Why Best-in-Class Finance Teams Matter

Finance leaders play a pivotal role in capital allocation, risk management, and financial strategy. The right hire doesn’t just fill a role—they enhance performance, investor confidence, and financial operations, positioning a firm for long-term success. A poor hire, however, can cost millions in inefficiencies and missed opportunities. That’s why BSR takes a rigorous, strategic approach—ensuring every placement is a true asset to the business, not just another hire.
