We work with Top 10-100 accounting firms, regional practices, and specialist tax and audit firms across UK, USA and Canada

Hiring audit and tax professionals shouldn't be this hard

Too Slow

Generalist recruiters take weeks to deliver shortlists. You need quality candidates in days, especially during busy season.

Wrong Candidates

Generic recruiters don't understand practice dynamics. You get candidates who don't fit practice culture or understand client service requirements

Expensive Mistakes

A bad hire costs 6-12 months of training, lost billable time, and client relationship damage. You need someone who gets it right the first time

Discuss your hiring needs

We only recruit for accounting practices

We focus exclusively on placing audit, tax, and accounting professionals in accounting and CPA practices. This specialization means faster placements, better fits, and candidates who understand practice life.

Market Knowledge

We speak your language. We understand busy season pressures, client service requirements, progression paths, and what makes someone successful in an accounting practice environment.

Pre-Qualified Talent

Our candidate pipeline consists exclusively of audit, tax, and accounting professionals with practice experience or genuine interest in practice careers. 
No time wasted on unsuitable CVs.

Practice Fit Only

We rigorously screen and present candidates who align with your firm’s culture, meet the exact technical brief, and show clear long-term potential. A tight, well-calibrated shortlist rather than an inbox full of maybes.
