Disrupting the marketplace for Tax Professionals, and the executives that hire them.
Our Mission
Our mission is to positively change the game of recruitment. Creating a remarkable experience for tax professionals, and the executives that hire them.
We achieve this through a combination of methodologies, constant innovation, and the continuous personal and professional development of our A-Team.
No job sites, no job postings, no social media posts with your job details. The trend in the recruitment industry is to focus on only postings and social media “call outs.”
We do things differently, and our approach allows us to maintain one of the lowest interview-to-placement ratios in our industry!
