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
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!
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
