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

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!

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.

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 am more than happy to endorse Trial Balance as my first choice for recruitment – either as a candidate or a recruiter – the whole team are excellent! They have provided the best candidates and deliver a professional service. I would have no hesitation in recommending Trial Balance.

Due to further expansion we were seeking a new Financial Controller. I approached Trial Balance and they very quickly identified a suitable shortlist of candidates. Dave was able to organise five interviews back to back within 3 days. After second interviews I could have offered either of the two candidates that I had progressed!

All in all I am delighted with the service from Trial Balance and would recommenced them to anyone!

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.

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.

Darnells are happy to endorse Trial Balance an excellent recruitment consultancy. Rob Emsley has sourced us many excellent candidates and is always approachable and dependable, giving advice where needed. I would have no hesitation in recommending Rob or Trial Balance.

We used Trial Balance Consulting for the first time in 2018. We were very pleased with their understanding of our needs and their dedication to finding us the right person for our organisation. They got on the case quickly and were very professional to deal with. We will definitely be back to Trial Balance in the future.
