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

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.

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.

We were fortunate enough to have Trial Balance recommended to us which saved us a lot of time and expense in filling our vacancy with a very well-matched candidate. I was immediately impressed when the person who picked up the telephone to my initial enquiry was able to answer all of my questions and set the wheels in motion, and customer service from that point onwards has been exemplary. We will be sure to go straight to Trial Balance next time we are recruiting in accountancy.

We have used Trial Balance to place two members of staff in the last 12 months, the quality of the applicants has been good and we are delighted with our new team members who are excellent.

I found Trial Balance to be by far the best recruitment agency that I have worked with. They not only kept me up to date with new opportunities as they arose, but also offered great advice that made the search for the right role extremely easy. Compared to other recruiters I used previously in London, Trial Balance were miles ahead in terms of service and communication. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

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.

We recently contacted Trial Balance Consulting after being let down by another agency. Within a few hours they had located a strong candidate ready to start straightaway. Excellent service received from Trial Balance Consulting, I would recommend them to anyone.

We recently lost our financial supervisor, who has taken up a placement with another company. Our accountants recommended that we contacted Trial Balance for interim support. I phoned up and spoke to Steve, who dealt with my enquiry in a professional, timely manner. After a short while I received a CV from a candidate and met with them the following day. The candidate came with plenty of experience and was ideal for the role. I informed Trial Balance that I would like the candidate to start with us and they were able to start the following week. Based on my experience of Trial Balance, I would happily recommend their services.

We were looking to replace a valued employee in a crucial role leaving big shoes to fill and Trial Balance exceeded expectations. Within 24 hours we were provided with a shortlist of candidates and we interviewed and recruited a smashing candidate within 4 days from when we first made contact. The team listened to our brief and provided quality candidates for consideration. Communication from Elle was exemplary; efficient and friendly and a pleasure to deal with. We would be pleased to endorse Trial Balance; recruitment fees can be a bitter pill for SMEs to swallow but Trial Balance deserve every penny!

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.
