What’s the difference between your permanent placement and fractional services?

Our fractional services provide project, interim, or ongoing support; ideal for companies in transition or scaling quickly. Permanent placement, on the other hand, is when we embed full-time leaders and accounting professionals directly into your organization.

How do you vet and select candidates?

Every candidate goes through a rigorous screening process that evaluates technical expertise, leadership capability, and cultural fit. We assess each professional’s track record in financial strategy, systems, and operational excellence to ensure they can make an immediate impact.

Do you handle placements in both Canada and the U.S.?

Yes. We serve organizations across Canada and the United States, helping companies of all sizes find experienced finance leaders and accounting talent who understand the regional and regulatory nuances of each market.

How long does the placement process take?

Timelines vary depending on the scope and level of the role, but permanent placements typically take 8 to 12 weeks. Our process is thorough — ensuring every hire is aligned with your organization’s goals, culture, and long-term growth plan.

What industries do you specialize in?

Our permanent hires have experience across multiple sectors — including professional services, healthcare, non-profit, technology, manufacturing, construction, and real estate. Each placement is matched with an understanding of your industry’s specific financial challenges and goals.
