Accounting Recruitment Consultants

STEVE McINTOSH - Vice President

Originally from Prestwick, Scotland, Steve attended The University of Strathclyde where he earned a Bachelor of Arts in Accounting. Following his university studies, Steve trained for his ACA (ICAEW) with KPMG in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England and transferred to their Glasgow office after qualifying. Steve cites the infamously "dreich" Glasgow weather as his main reason for moving overseas.

In September 2001, Steve moved to Grand Cayman to work as an Audit Senior in KPMG's Captive Insurance group and after one year was promoted to a management role within the Alternative Investments practice. Steve left public practice in June 2003 to join Cayman Management Ltd as the Financial Controller. Steve realised that there was a gap in the market for an offshore recruitment agency for professionals, run by professionals, and in July 2004 CML Offshore Recruitment opened its doors for the first time.

Steve's first exposure to recruitment was during his early years at KPMG where he was involved with their national graduate recruitment program. Although Steve now spends most of his time managing the business, he still enjoys working with candidates, "It's very rewarding to meet a candidate that I helped to relocate, have them thank me and say that it was the best decision they ever made. It's great to feel that we've had a positive impact on people's lives."

In addition to captaining the CML soccer team (the 2006 King's League Champions), Steve is a member of Rotary Sunrise Grand Cayman and a Charter member of The Cayman Angel Investor Network.

In April 2005, Isy relocated to Grand Cayman to work as a Captive Insurance Account Manager for Marsh. Now working as a recruitment consultant for CML, Isy enjoys the opportunity to help candidates achieve their goals, "I'm absolutely delighted when I'm able to place a superstar candidate with an equally fabulous client."

Isy is as busy outside of the office as she is inside. Her evenings and weekends are filled with boxing, dancing, art classes, mentoring, fund raising as well as going to Cayman's many beaches, bars and restaurants.

SINEAD BYRNE - Accounting Recruitment Consultant,

Sinead joined CML in 2004 to specialize in the recruitment of accounting and temporary office staff.

In this role, Sinead specialized in contract negotiation, risk assessment and trade agreements, and travelled extensively through Europe, Australia, Asia, the Middle East and Eastern Europe to meet her clients and suppliers first hand.

Sinead relocated to Grand Cayman in August 2004. In her position as a recruitment consultant, Sinead enjoys helping candidates make exciting lifestyle changes.

When she is not in the office, Sinead likes to spend her time wake-boarding, baking cakes, taking trips to the beach with her family and attending social events at the Cayman Rugby Club.

Amanda Mahoney - Accounting Recruitment Consultant,

Amanda Mahoney moved from Leeds in the UK to start a job in the Cayman Islands in 2004 and joined CML in September 2007 to recruit for accounting and finance jobs in the Cayman Islands and Bermuda. Following her studies at Leicester University where she gained a BSc (Hons) in Physics with Astrophysics, Amanda undertook her accounting studies, becoming a Chartered Accountant (ICAEW) in 2002.

Having lived and worked in the Cayman Islands for 4 years, Amanda is well-informed about the offshore economic environment and companies, and is familiar with the culture and protocol of living and working offshore. During her career she has gained work experience in auditing, insolvency, captive insurance, offshore company management and financial control and is now bringing her expert knowledge of living and working as an accountant in the offshore world to assist other financial services professionals in progressing their careers.

Amanda moved to Cayman for the sun and sea, but has stayed to enjoy the tremendous opportunities available to young professionals on the island. She loves island life, especially the beaches, bars and restaurants, but also likes to travel as often as possible. She can often be found on a Saturday morning watching Football in one of the islands sports bars - she is hoping to see Leeds Utd back on TV at some point this millennium.
