Accounting & Finance Recruitment Agency Australia
As one of Australia's leading accounting and finance recruitment agencies, we connect businesses with exceptional talent across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide, from Accountants and Financial Controllers through to CFOs.
Tailored hiring in finance: We see the person behind the numbers
Your finance function sits at the centre of every commercial decision, so the wrong hire is felt across the business. As one of Australia's most trusted finance and accounting recruitment agencies, we match qualified professionals to the role that actually fits, rather than the first available CV.
You’ll work with our industry experts, many of whom are former finance professionals themselves, so the shortlist you receive has been assessed by someone who understands the difference between a technically strong accountant and one who will thrive in your team.
We recruit permanent, contract and fixed-term positions for organisations of every size, from fast-growing start-ups through to ASX-listed companies and global institutions. Whether you are replacing a single Accountant or building out a finance team, our consultants bring deep market knowledge, established talent networks and a genuine read on what good looks like.
The roles we specialise in
Tailored solutions for your business
No two finance functions are built the same way, so we don't run every search the same way. We shape our approach around your structure, the skills you actually need and how quickly you need them. That partnership is why clients come back to us across multiple hires.
What sets us apart:
- Specialist consultants with deep accounting and finance market expertise
- Quality over quantity, with carefully matched candidates
- Access to a broader talent network through our collaborative team model
- Data-led hiring advice informed by market and salary insights
- Flexible engagement across permanent, contract, interim and executive search
- Rigorous screening and reference checking for every shortlist
We are trusted partners

-
What's the difference between a permanent and contract finance hire?
A permanent hire joins your business on an ongoing basis and suits roles where you are building long-term capability, such as a Financial Controller or Finance Business Partner. A contract or interim hire works for a defined period and suits project work, parental leave or peak reporting cycles, or situations where you need a specialist quickly. Contractors are engaged and paid through us, so we handle payroll, superannuation and compliance while they work with you. Many clients use a mix of both, and we can advise which model fits a given role. -
Can your agency provide guidance on market trends and salary benchmarks?
We have insights on accounting and finance salaries and compensation trends in our free Salary Survey guide.
Our Salary Survey is based on the analysis of over 100,000 permanent, interim and contract placements made across Australia. Request your copy today.
