Hiring top accounting talent is hard.

  • Too much time burned on the wrong candidates. You waste valuable time and energy screening candidates who aren’t qualified or aren’t serious.

  • The decision to bring on a new staff member is expensive, without any guarantee of success.

    You’re paying premium salaries, inflated recruiter fees, bloated outsourcing rates, plus the time and energy.

  • Having the recruiters gatekeep the relationship, take a large fee, and attempt to manage your staff, feels disconnected from the way you want to grow your business.
