Accounting & finance search
Hire accountants who grew up in public.
Chart of Accountants works with controllers, directors of accounting, and finance leaders who need professionals with real audit, tax, and assurance pedigrees, not just corporate titles on a resume.
Contingent search engagements tailored to your team. Same-day responses when the role is urgent.
How we work with employers
A structured search process with clear steps, focused on fit.
Whether you are backfilling after a promotion or building out a new function, we run a structured contingent search so you spend time only on candidates worth the interview.
Discovery & calibration
We align on scope, level, firm profile, and culture so the shortlist matches how your team actually works.
Curated slates
You see a small set of vetted profiles, typically with public accounting and relevant industry or technical depth.
Through the offer
Interview scheduling, feedback loops, and offer strategy so you close faster with less noise.
Why teams bring us in
When the role demands someone who has lived busy season, not just industry experience, generic job boards and generalist recruiters rarely deliver. We focus on that public profile end to end.
Public accounting pedigrees
We prioritize candidates whose careers were shaped in audit, tax, and assurance at Big 4, national, and strong regional firms before they moved in-house.
Built for finance leadership
We partner with controllers, directors of accounting, VPs of finance, and CFOs who need hires that can own the close, manage auditors, and scale the function.
Contingent, recruiter-led search
You get a dedicated recruiting engagement: intake, calibrated shortlists, interview coordination, and support through offer, all without upfront retainers.
