From Beans to Boardrooms: Azuki Accounts’ Guide to Financial Mastery in Recruitment
Ever wondered what your accountant should be telling you—but isn’t?
In this episode of RecTalk, we hand the mic to the dynamic duo Adil and Poonam Mawani, founders of Azuki Accounts, a specialist finance partner to the recruitment industry. From the early days of building their business post-Milestone Ops to becoming award-winning back-office experts, they’ve seen it all—and they're here to spill the tea.
💥 What we cover:
- Why outsourcing finance is booming during the downturn
- How to spot the real cost of running your agency
- Board packs that win awards and win investors
- What really adds (or slashes) value in your business
- EOTs (Employee Ownership Trusts): the hottest exit strategy right now
- How to handle headcount, overheads, and hybrid working without blowing up your margins
- The hidden dangers of all-inclusive back-office providers
- Tech stacks, AI, and the future of recruiter productivity
- Real talk on dividends, dodgy claims (hello, 50 Shades?), and the reality of exits
- Power ratios, desk costs, and the must-watch financial metrics for 2025
Whether you’re building for lifestyle or gearing up for a PE-backed exit, this episode is your crash course in financial fluency—delivered with honesty, humour, and hardcore insights.

Recruitment founders, agency owners, and back-office leads looking to scale, exit, or just survive with their sanity (and bank balance) intact.
