The accountancy & finance recruiter of choice for the Southwest of England

Rob is great to work with and is not one to shy away from a difficult to fill role. Rob delivers quality over quantity, which saves time in the recruitment process. All of my interactions with Rob have been professional, timely and honest. Rob is also surrounded by a great team, who have always been available and fully briefed should Rob be on holiday. It’s great to work with an organisation so tied up and professional.

2018 has been a busy year for us at PKF Francis Clark, and Rob has contributed positively to our hiring efforts. I would not hesitate to recommend Rob as a recruitment partner to your organisation.

We recently lost our financial supervisor, who has taken up a placement with another company. Our accountants recommended that we contacted Trial Balance for interim support. I phoned up and spoke to Steve, who dealt with my enquiry in a professional, timely manner. After a short while I received a CV from a candidate and met with them the following day. The candidate came with plenty of experience and was ideal for the role. I informed Trial Balance that I would like the candidate to start with us and they were able to start the following week. Based on my experience of Trial Balance, I would happily recommend their services.

We used Trial Balance to cover for a 3-month sick period. I called on a Tuesday and had a credit controller working for me on the Wednesday. Trial Balance are quick, efficient, and very good value for money.

Dear Rob,


I am writing to thank you for your recent assistance in securing two job offers from two very reputable accounting firms.

From the moment I made first contact you have worked hard to help me secure a position that fulfils my goals. I was particularly impressed with the effort you made to both secure interviews for me swiftly and maintain strong contact to keep me informed during the process. This has not always been my experience with recruitment agencies, but I have felt that Trial Balance Consulting have had both your client’s and my best interests in mind at all times.

I would not hesitate to recommend your services and should I ever need your services in the future, I will not look beyond contacting yourselves.

I wish you every future success.

We have been very impressed with the fast and professional service that Trial Balance Consulting have provided us.
This is the first time that we have used their services, they understood our requirements, sent us a small number of suitable candidates CV’s, which enabled us to fill the position within one week.

Rob exceeded my expectations at every stage of the process and really took the time to understand what was important to me in a role. As someone new to the area his expertise and wide range of contacts were invaluable. Rob was always available to answer my queries and kept me up to date at all times. I would have no hesitation in recommending his professional and personable service.

I just wanted to say thank you so much for all of your great help and support during my job search. The service you provide is fantastic and I would have no doubt in recommending you to anyone who was in a similar position to me. Having had experience with other agencies, you are ahead by miles. Your friendly and supportive approach was so very much appreciated and really did help me through that first and quite scary interview!

I am hoping that this job will be a perfect fit, but would not hesitate to come back to you if for any reason I find myself once again looking for another finance position.

Trial Balance are our go to recruitment consultants. They understand our business, who we are and what we look for in candidates. They provide the friendliest service and I would highly recommend. Thanks as always to the team there.

I’ve always found the team at Trial Balance to be friendly, honest and efficient. I have always received great service, even on some of the trickier vacancies that we have had. Would definitely recommend their services.

I have had a really positive experience working with Dan at Trial Balance. He took the time to properly understand not just the technical requirements of the role, but the type of person we were looking for and how they would fit within the business and team.

The candidates put forward have been well considered and genuinely relevant to the brief, with a good range of experience and backgrounds. Communication throughout has been open, straightforward, and personable, and I've particularly appreciated Dan's focus on finding the right long-term fit rather than simply filling the vacancy as quickly as possible.

I'd be very happy to recommend Dan and the team at Trial Balance to other businesses looking for a recruitment partner who takes the time to understand what they need.
