CPA Recruiting Challenges (and Solutions)

Talent Shortages for Experienced CPAs

Challenge: There’s a limited supply of experienced CPAs in public accounting and advisory services. Many have transitioned into industry roles or are hesitant to switch positions.

Solution: We make sure your job opening reaches every potential candidate in the market, both active and passive, expanding your talent pool by 5 to 10 times.

Competition from Industry Roles

Challenge: Corporate roles in finance, tech, and healthcare attract CPAs with better pay, flexibility, and work-life balance. (Related Article)

Solution: Based on market research, we suggest strategic adjustments—like modifying the role’s level, increasing salaries, or offering hybrid/remote options—to ensure your offer is competitive and aligns with candidate expectations.

Employer Brand Visibility

Challenge: Small and mid-sized firms often struggle to stand out against larger firms or industry.

Solution: We go beyond job postings to directly connect with qualified active and passive candidates, ensuring your roles are seen by all the right candidates in the market.

Changing Market Trends

Challenge: Hybrid work, flexible locations, and competitive pay are now baseline expectations for experienced hires.

Solution: We leverage current market data to help you refine roles, salaries, and work arrangements, allowing you to meet candidate expectations without compromising your budget.

Candidate Career Preferences

Challenge: Experienced CPAs prioritize leadership opportunities, challenging technical roles, and better work-life balance, making alignment with your firm’s needs a challenge.

Solution: We take the time to understand candidate goals and values, ensuring long-term compatibility between their aspirations and your firm’s opportunities.

Data-Driven Recruiting & Differentiation

Exploring Flexibilities

We also identify and suggest areas where flexibility is possible, such as adjusting the role's level, increasing the salary, or considering remote or hybrid work arrangements.

CPA Recruiting Testimonials

On a national level, Jose is our top talent partner. He's helped hire more candidates for us than our next four partners combined.

Accounting Advisory Firm

Jose was very professional and understood exactly what we were looking for. He provided us with high-quality candidates, and we would definitely use him again for future hiring needs.

Accounting Advisory Firm

I highly recommend Jose. As a smaller firm, it’s tough to attract top talent, but Jose took the time to understand our needs and consistently delivered quality candidates. Even when fulfilling a guarantee, he introduced excellent candidates, one of whom we hired. While others promise, Jose delivers, and his help has been invaluable in recruiting and retaining outstanding employees.
