Alliance Executive Search

Accounting & Finance

Our Accounting & Finance Executive Search practice recruits the best of the best by executing on both Contingency and Retained searches. In many instances that means a CFO or Controller to lead an organization’s finance function. It may mean a CPA with a public accounting background. In other cases it means the right mix of technical experience to meet our client’s unique industry demands. Our Accounting Operations practice sources the best the market has to offer when more general, day-to-day accounting skills are sought. No matter the position, Alliance is focused on providing our clients and candidates the best possible experience.

Retained Search

We recommend a Retained search at the C suite and VP level.  There are several key benefits:

• No confusion in the market – multiple firms calling the same candidates appears unprofessional at the executive level.
• Executive searches can take 50% longer than a traditional search. You need a recruiter who is committed to seeing the process through.
• A more senior recruiter with at least 10 years experience is assigned to each retained search
• Executive level candidates expect a search to be on a retained basis.
• Alliance has a 96% success rate on retained searches
