The accountancy & finance recruiter of choice for the Southwest of England

One of the hardest parts of running an accountancy practice is finding quality, qualified and experienced staff with the right fit for my business. Trial Balance managed to find exactly who I was looking for which has really helped my business to grow. They are always a pleasure to deal with, really informative and dealt with the communications between me and the potential employee in a prompt and professional manner. I would be happy to recommend them.

We used Trial Balance to cover for a 3-month sick period. I called on a Tuesday and had a credit controller working for me on the Wednesday. Trial Balance are quick, efficient, and very good value for money.

The team at Trial Balance acted really quickly upon instruction, I had a really good standard of suitable candidates CV’s across my desk within a couple of days and had interviews set up within a week. Elle was great to deal with, she understood what we wanted and made sure we had the right level of contact and the right number of CV’s across my desk, great after sales service as well.

Great service from Steve, really pleased with the help and support he provided to us in filling our role. He got to understand us and what we were looking for and sent us some great candidates that matched exactly what we wanted. This is the first time we have used Trial Balance, we would definitely use them again and recommend them to other businesses.

I have already expressed, not only to my current employer, how efficient your company is. Your constant contact (Steve and David), updates and willingness to talk and advise me during my term of unemployment was excellent. Trial Balance in my opinion are the best Financial Recruitment Agency in South West and Steve and David are a credit to you.

Trial Balance are our go to recruitment consultants. They understand our business, who we are and what we look for in candidates. They provide the friendliest service and I would highly recommend. Thanks as always to the team there.

Rob exceeded my expectations at every stage of the process and really took the time to understand what was important to me in a role. As someone new to the area his expertise and wide range of contacts were invaluable. Rob was always available to answer my queries and kept me up to date at all times. I would have no hesitation in recommending his professional and personable service.

Our company has worked with Alex and his team at Trial Balance for a number of years now on various assignments and have always received a highly professional service from them. I have always found Alex to be a friendly, approachable and confident recruiter with a swift and professional manner. Alex's service are well recommended, as he has built up one the most favourably regarded specialist recruitment agencies in Cornwall.

Dear Rob,


I am writing to thank you for your recent assistance in securing two job offers from two very reputable accounting firms.

From the moment I made first contact you have worked hard to help me secure a position that fulfils my goals. I was particularly impressed with the effort you made to both secure interviews for me swiftly and maintain strong contact to keep me informed during the process. This has not always been my experience with recruitment agencies, but I have felt that Trial Balance Consulting have had both your client’s and my best interests in mind at all times.

I would not hesitate to recommend your services and should I ever need your services in the future, I will not look beyond contacting yourselves.

I wish you every future success.

Trial Balance have been instrumental to our Finance team, recruiting all the current members. Elle is very approachable and always cheerful on the phone, she asks the right questions about the role and requirements and gets the right fit for the vacancy.
