★★★★★

We needed a CFO for a Series A fundraise. GigLink had a shortlist of three verified candidates on our desks in 36 hours. The intro video feature was everything — we knew exactly who we were hiring before a single call.

James B.

CEO, Series A SaaS — London

★★★★★

Saved 65% compared to our old advisory firm. Same quality, better communication, and I didn't have to talk to a single recruiter. GigLink is just… better.

Annika S.

COO, Manufacturing — Singapore

★★★★★

Eight years freelancing and GigLink is the first platform that treats finance professionals with actual respect. My rates, my clients, my terms. Finally a platform that gets it.

Rachel L.

Fractional CFO, CPA — New York

★★★★★

Our books were an absolute disaster. GigLink matched us with a Xero-certified bookkeeper in 48 hours. She sorted 18 months of chaos in two weeks. Worth every cent.

Daniel K.

Founder, Retail Brand — Dubai

★★★★★

I'd been searching for three months trying to find a decent tax specialist. Posted on GigLink on a Tuesday, had three verified options by Thursday. Completely different universe.

Mia P.

Co-Founder, HealthTech — Toronto

★★★★★

We're a Series B company in Singapore and needed a Financial Controller fast. GigLink delivered a shortlist of four vetted candidates within 48 hours. We hired the same week. Remarkable.

Wei C.

CFO, Fintech Scale-up — Singapore

★★★★★

As a freelance CFO based in Amsterdam, I was tired of chasing clients through LinkedIn. GigLink sends me briefs that match my skills. I've been fully booked for six months straight.

Lars V.

Fractional CFO, CIMA — Amsterdam

★★★★★

The transparency is what got me. I could see the hourly rate, credentials, and watch an intro video before I even sent a message. Hired same day. Best financial decision I've made for the business.

Tom W.

MD, Property Group — Hong Kong

★★★★★

I joined GigLink as an expert six months ago and my billings have doubled. The brief system means I only go for work I actually want. No more awkward cold pitches to people who ghost you.

Nina K.

Tax Specialist, CPA — Dublin

★★★★★

We run a 200-person business across three countries. GigLink found us a part-time Financial Controller with IFRS experience for a fraction of what a full-time hire would cost. Absolute no-brainer.

Chris R.

CEO, Manufacturing Group — Frankfurt

★★★★★

GigLink should exist in every industry. Post a brief, watch intro videos, pick your person. It's so obviously the right way to hire. Why did this take so long to exist?

Sophie J.

COO, AgriTech Startup — Nairobi

★★★★★

Our CFO resigned six weeks before year-end. GigLink had an interim replacement on a call with us within 24 hours. Genuinely saved our year. I tell every founder I know about this platform.

Ben L.

Founder, Logistics Scale-up — Chicago

★★★★★

Based in Johannesburg and I was convinced this kind of platform wouldn't work here. Wrong. Had a verified FP&A analyst matched to my brief within 48 hours. GigLink is genuinely global.

Sipho M.

CFO, Retail Group — Johannesburg

★★★★★

The paid trial feature is genius. We ran a 10-hour trial with our bookkeeper before committing. She was brilliant. Payment held in escrow the whole time — zero risk for us.

Aisha R.

Co-Founder, E-commerce — Dubai

★★★★★

As a CPA with 12 years experience I was sceptical about another platform. But GigLink is different — the vetting is real, clients are serious, and I set my own rate. Booked out three months ahead now.

Grace F.

Fractional CFO, CA — Vancouver

★★★★★

We're a 15-person agency in London. Never needed a full-time finance person but always needed finance help. GigLink lets us dial it up during busy periods and dial it back when it's quiet. Perfect.

Lachlan M.

Director, Creative Agency — London

★★★★★

Three words: watch the videos. I hired our bookkeeper because her intro was so confident and clear. She's been with us 14 months now. Never going back to the old way of hiring.

Priya O.

Founder, D2C Brand — Mumbai

★★★★★

I used to dread year-end. Now I have a GigLink tax specialist I work with every year. She knows our business, she's fully credentialled, and charges a fraction of what our old firm did.

Alex M.

Co-Founder, SaaS — Austin

★★★★★

The admin-free experience is what does it for me. GigLink handles invoicing, payments, everything. I just do the work and get paid. It's what freelancing should always have been.

Jamie T.

Financial Controller, CIMA — Manchester

★★★★★

We're a PE-backed business in Toronto with complex reporting requirements. GigLink matched us with a Group Financial Controller who had IFRS and PE experience. On boarded in three days.

Marcus D.

CEO, PE-backed Group — Toronto

★★★★★

I'm a Fractional CFO in Singapore working with clients across Southeast Asia. GigLink gave me global reach without the overhead of a full agency. My pipeline has never been stronger.
