Meet Accounting Staff

What we place

The people, the roles, the rhythm.

Every placement starts with a conversation and ends with a handshake. What happens in between depends on the role.

01

Bookkeepers

Full-charge bookkeepers are our bread and butter. We place folks who can own the general ledger, run payroll, handle A/R and A/P, and talk to your CPA come year-end without needing a translator. Most of our bookkeepers have eight-plus years under their belt and work on-site one to five days a week depending on what you need.

Common industries: construction and trades · clinics and veterinary practices · family farms and ag co-ops · small manufacturers · regional nonprofits.

02

Controllers

When the owner's spouse has been doing the books on nights and weekends for fifteen years and everyone agrees it's time. We place experienced controllers who can stand up proper month-end close, clean up messy charts of accounts, and mentor whoever's left in the finance corner of the office.

Typically full-time. Occasionally three or four days a week for businesses under $10M in revenue.

03

Fractional CFO

For the owner who needs a grown-up in the room one day a week. Cash-flow forecasting, bank relationships, preparing for a sale or a generational handoff. We've got a short bench of semi-retired CFOs who quite enjoy the variety.

Usually eight to thirty-two hours a month. Engagements run six months to several years.

04

Tax-season staffing

Every local practice we work with has the same conversation in October: "We need somebody by February." We place preparers (individual and business returns), reviewers, and the occasional administrator who can handle the front-desk crush from Presidents' Day through April.

Seasonal, part-time, or temp-to-perm. Remote-hybrid is fine with most of our candidates now.

05

Audit & specialty

Less common but we do it: staff and senior auditors for regional CPA firms, cost accountants for manufacturers, grant-compliance folks for nonprofits with federal funding. If it's niche, we'll tell you honestly whether we have someone or whether you're better off with a bigger agency.

How a placement usually goes

  1. A conversation. Forty-five minutes or so. You tell us what the role actually is, not what the job description says. We ask nosy questions about the office.
  2. A short list. Usually one or two names. Occasionally three. Never a stack.
  3. Introductions. We make them personally. Phone, video, or in person — whatever fits.
  4. An offer, or a rethink. If the first round isn't right, we regroup. No charge for the rethink.
  5. A ninety-day check-in. We call both sides at thirty, sixty, and ninety days. If it's not working, we make it right.

What we charge

Standard contingency fees for permanent placements, billed only on start date. Hourly markups for temp and seasonal. We'll walk you through the specifics during the first conversation — it's not a mystery and we're not cute about it.
