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

We recently contacted Trial Balance Consulting after being let down by another agency. Within a few hours they had located a strong candidate ready to start straightaway. Excellent service received from Trial Balance Consulting, I would recommend them to anyone.

The team at Trial Balance acted really quickly upon instruction, I had a really good standard of suitable candidates CV’s across my desk within a couple of days and had interviews set up within a week. Elle was great to deal with, she understood what we wanted and made sure we had the right level of contact and the right number of CV’s across my desk, great after sales service as well.

At Trucksmith it’s important that we always have the right staff in the right places. Whilst we are happy to use our own knowledge, experience and contacts to source our senior engineers and sales staff, we rely on Trial Balance’s expertise when it comes to filling our accountancy and finance roles. They’re both friendly yet professional and always understand exactly what we’re looking for. Trial Balance are an extension of our recruitment team.

I found Trial Balance to be by far the best recruitment agency that I have worked with. They not only kept me up to date with new opportunities as they arose, but also offered great advice that made the search for the right role extremely easy. Compared to other recruiters I used previously in London, Trial Balance were miles ahead in terms of service and communication. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Darnells are happy to endorse Trial Balance an excellent recruitment consultancy. Rob Emsley has sourced us many excellent candidates and is always approachable and dependable, giving advice where needed. I would have no hesitation in recommending Rob or Trial Balance.

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.

Hi Dave

Just a quick note to say thank you for the help, support, advice and professionalism I have received from you, Steve and Elle during my job search.

Fortunately this search has now come to an end, and I have accepted the position.

Thank you again, and I am pleased to ask you to remove me from your list of available candidates.

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.

We were fortunate enough to have Trial Balance recommended to us which saved us a lot of time and expense in filling our vacancy with a very well-matched candidate. I was immediately impressed when the person who picked up the telephone to my initial enquiry was able to answer all of my questions and set the wheels in motion, and customer service from that point onwards has been exemplary. We will be sure to go straight to Trial Balance next time we are recruiting in accountancy.

As a recruitment agency, I could not recommend Trial Balance enough. They provide an excellent level of service and take the time to understand the role/s we are recruiting for and how important cultural fit is to us as a business. David has located some fantastic candidates and sourced our Financial Director who has been positively influential in our business. I could not thank him enough for his valuable support to our business.
