Our clients and candidates have always valued us for our insight, personalized services, trusted relationships, and in-depth knowledge of the tax and audit market.

“Maria Meally is world class. When Maria first started working with us, she ensured she understood our culture and got to know us as people. She brought us candidates who became our team members and who add tremendously to the firm and our clients. With Maria’s high energy, great sense of humor and rigorous follow up, we wondered what we would do without her on our file. In fact, going forward we requested her as the Consultant on each of our recruitment initiatives. There’s a reason for that: Maria is at the top of the list for customer service skills, professionalism, follow through and getting the job done.”
