Niche Public Accounting Recruiting Firm Anticipates Active Post-Busy Season

March 18, 2012 - PRLog -- Adam Karpiak, President of Karpiak Consulting, a niche recruiting firm specializing in public accounting, anticipates an extremely busy post-busy season for CPA firm hires. For the last month or so, Karpiak has been actively scheduling meetings for his clients with candidates looking to make a move once busy season is over. "The hiring partners that I'm speaking with," explains Karpiak "don't want to miss out on the top talent."
Karpiak's firm just celebrated its 1st anniversary, and while he considers last year a success, he foresees an even better 2nd year. "The responses I'm getting from candidates is overwhelming.  Last year at this time were there candidates already looking to move post 4/15? Absolutely.  But it pales in comparison to this year.  The amount of talent considering a move is a fantastic sign for the upcoming year.  My clients are firms that are growing and need quality talent to best serve their clients.  They want to provide the best, and therefor they need the best." Together, Karpiak and his associates' successes at the Partner/Leadership level averaged in the mid-six figure range.
Currently, Partner level searches are the most active, particularly in Tax, Forensic/Litigation Support, and Family Office/Business Management.  The hottest industries right now, according to Karpiak, are Financial Services, Real Estate, and Not-for-Profit.  Candidates with a book of business are always attractive to firms, regardless of industry.  The ability to develop business is particularly attractive, as organic growth is key to these firms.
"Tax, audit, forensics...it doesn't matter if you are a Sr. Associate or Equity Partner.  Bottom line is firms want talented accountants, and they're actively engaging recruiters to confidentially find them."
