Helping CFOs & Controllers recruit the top accounting & finance talent | Want to fill your toughest-to-fill finance positions in 17 days or less? Welcome!

Many General Recruiters Miss the Mark Recruiting Accounting or Finance. In my experience, it's the most underrated function of the business to staff up. It seems simple enough on the surface, but the results typically go as follows. Stop me if this sounds familiar. You have multiple Controller resumes get through screening calls for a Manager of Accounts Payable position for example. Recruiters pleading their case: 1. But they have AP all over their resume. 2. They have experience with our ERP system. 3. They said they oversaw AP on the screening call. Rejection after rejection, while weeks/months go by and no hope in sight. Hiring managers switch to screening all applicant resumes during their time off. Personally, going from "work-to-live" to "live-to-work." Work/life balance suffers across the rest of the department too. Responsibilities pile up and another resignation in the department happens. What's next? A missed detail for BOD meeting, restatement, or worse. Don't wait for this all to unwind. Message me directly on LinkedIn or email me [email protected] if you are having trouble filling an accounting and finance position today. I am happy to share all the tools, messaging/cold calling scripts, and job description best practices that have been proven for me for free if you prefer to do it yourself. It's not rocket science, it's just time-consuming. Suppose you prefer to spend Memorial Day weekends enjoying life while still having an influx of great candidates interested in your positions. In that case, we can discuss how we have delivered the best accounting and finance recruitment results for our clients too. Have an amazing holiday weekend with your loved ones!
