T1 The Doyle Collection · 4/5 awaiting_approval
Marc — Director of Finance
✉ marc@doylecollection.com
With hands-on consolidation experience across eight boutique properties at Firmdale, a direct competitor operating at the same independent luxury tier in London, this candidate brings immediately transferable multi-site financial oversight that would resonate with Marc and the Doyle Collection's own privately owned, London-anchored portfolio.
Day 0 email · Group FC with Firmdale consolidation background, 8 weeks' notice
Dear Marc,
I wanted to bring a specific candidate to your attention rather than your inbox in general.
Our candidate is the Group Financial Controller at Firmdale Hotels, where they have spent 14 years building and owning the full consolidation picture across eight boutique London properties and the New York estate. That is a rare combination of depth and breadth at the independent luxury end of the market.
The reason I thought of the Doyle Collection specifically is the structural similarity. Firmdale is a direct comparator in terms of ownership culture, property scale, and the level of FC rigour expected without the scaffolding of a branded chain. Multi-site USALI reporting, owner-level P&L presentation, and cross-currency consolidation are all part of their current remit.
They are available on eight weeks' notice and are open to a conversation at the right level.
Would it be worth a brief call this week?
Kind regards,
Sarah

Benita — Financial Controller UK
✉ benita@ennismore.com
With Ennismore accelerating its lifestyle-luxury portfolio across the UK and internationally, a candidate who has already built and run consolidated finance across eight boutique properties plus a transatlantic estate at Firmdale offers Benita and the broader finance team a directly transferable blueprint for the multi-property complexity Ennismore is actively growing into.
Day 0 email · Group FC | Multi-property consolidation across 8 boutique sites + NY estate
Dear Benita,
With Ennismore continuing to scale its lifestyle-luxury portfolio, I wanted to put one specific candidate in front of you rather than send a general introduction.
We are currently representing a Group Financial Controller from Firmdale Hotels, 14 years with the business, who built and has been running consolidated finance across eight boutique properties and their transatlantic New York estate. That means owner reporting, multi-entity P&L ownership and USALI-aligned consolidation across an independent luxury group of real complexity, not a branded chain where the frameworks are handed down.
The reason I am contacting you specifically is that the operational and reporting architecture this person has already built at Firmdale maps closely onto the multi-property complexity Ennismore is actively growing into, both in the UK and internationally. It is a genuinely transferable blueprint rather than a theoretical fit.
They are available on eight weeks' notice. Happy to send the CV and a brief overview if the profile is of interest.
Kind regards,
Sophie
