Rutika is a fully-qualified Chartered Accountant. Before joining Alchemy, she worked for eight years as an indirect tax professional with EY in Dubai and India.

“While I was a tax professional, I observed companies struggling to find the right talent, and candidates the right opportunities. 

“I wanted to bridge this gap, and make sure financial recruitment is a ‘win-win’ situation for all.

“I was drawn to Alchemy because it has such a personalised and customised approach. We also stand out from other agencies because we bring tax and finance professionals from various backgrounds together through our various networking events. No-one else offers this.”

Approach to recruitment: It’s about connecting the right people to the right opportunities at the right time. Prompt communication and co-ordination are vital, as is ‘stepping into the shoes’ of a business to understand their requirements.

Dubai highlights: I love going on weekend road trips with my family, exploring other emirates, and visiting local cafés and restaurants.
