As one of the most prevalent dedicated accountancy recruiters in the Southwest and South Wales, our reputation has been built on referral and recommendation.
With a particular inclination for the no nonsense matching of employer and candidate requirements, it’s helped us to partner with the largest portfolio of skilled finance professionals in our marketplace.
What people are saying about us
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.
As a fast growing business It was important for us to find the right calibre of candidate, one that enjoys the inevitable change that growth brings and at the same time an individual who would fit within the culture of our business. Having advertised directly without success, Dan was quick to understand our requirements and was very specific in the CV’s he sent over for the role which arrived in my inbox within a couple of days. As a result, we were able to offer the role to one of Dan’s candidates and bring to an end a two month search for a suitable candidate.
Trial Balance have been a terrific company to work with and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to recruit for their organisation.
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 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.
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.
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.
Rob is great to work with and is not one to shy away from a difficult to fill role. Rob delivers quality over quantity, which saves time in the recruitment process. All of my interactions with Rob have been professional, timely and honest. Rob is also surrounded by a great team, who have always been available and fully briefed should Rob be on holiday. It’s great to work with an organisation so tied up and professional.
2018 has been a busy year for us at PKF Francis Clark, and Rob has contributed positively to our hiring efforts. I would not hesitate to recommend Rob as a recruitment partner to your organisation.
Trial Balance have been key to us during our recruitment campaign. Carly was very helpful and professional and helped to place an excellent candidate with us. The service we received was excellent and we hope to be using them again very shortly!
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.
I have had a really positive experience working with Dan at Trial Balance. He took the time to properly understand not just the technical requirements of the role, but the type of person we were looking for and how they would fit within the business and team.
The candidates put forward have been well considered and genuinely relevant to the brief, with a good range of experience and backgrounds. Communication throughout has been open, straightforward, and personable, and I've particularly appreciated Dan's focus on finding the right long-term fit rather than simply filling the vacancy as quickly as possible.
I'd be very happy to recommend Dan and the team at Trial Balance to other businesses looking for a recruitment partner who takes the time to understand what they need.
