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

We used Trial Balance Consulting for the first time in 2018. We were very pleased with their understanding of our needs and their dedication to finding us the right person for our organisation. They got on the case quickly and were very professional to deal with. We will definitely be back to Trial Balance in the future.

Due to further expansion we were seeking a new Financial Controller. I approached Trial Balance and they very quickly identified a suitable shortlist of candidates. Dave was able to organise five interviews back to back within 3 days. After second interviews I could have offered either of the two candidates that I had progressed!

All in all I am delighted with the service from Trial Balance and would recommenced them to anyone!

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 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.

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 employed three people through Trial Balance Consulting all of whom fitted in well with our office.
Alex took time to listen to our requirements, was in contact throughout interviews, and followed up after employment to ensure we were happy with our choice.
Thank you.

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.
