Accounting and Finance Recruiting

Based in Simpsonville, South Carolina (a suburb of Greenville, South Carolina), we've built our reputation by connecting small and midsize businesses nationwide with accounting talent that drives real results.

What they all share is the need for accounting professionals who can adapt, contribute strategically, and help drive profitable growth.

Our recruiting process is designed specifically for the needs of growing businesses. We start with a comprehensive consultation to understand your immediate needs, company culture, growth plans, and compensation structure. This isn't a generic questionnaire—it's a strategic discussion about where your business is heading and what accounting expertise you need to get there.
We then leverage our extensive network of accounting professionals who are specifically interested in opportunities with small and midsize businesses. Many of our candidates are tired of the bureaucracy and limited impact they experience at large corporations. They're seeking environments where they can see the direct results of their work and contribute to meaningful business growth.
Our screening process evaluates both technical competencies and cultural fit. We assess software proficiency, industry experience, communication skills, and adaptability. Most importantly, we identify candidates who are genuinely excited about the opportunity to make a difference in a growing organization.
Why Accounting Professionals Choose Smaller Companies
The accounting professionals we work with are drawn to small and midsize businesses for compelling reasons. They want to work directly with business owners and senior leadership rather than being several layers removed from decision-making. They seek opportunities to influence company strategy, implement new systems, and see the tangible impact of their expertise.
In smaller companies, accounting professionals often gain exposure to multiple aspects of the business, accelerating their professional development. They can participate in special projects, work cross-functionally with other departments, and build diverse skill sets that larger corporate environments simply don't offer. Many of our candidates have left large companies specifically to find more meaningful work with growing businesses.
