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

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.

Thanks for all your help, you will definitely be my first choice for any future recruitment needs.

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.

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.

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.

Our company has worked with Alex and his team at Trial Balance for a number of years now on various assignments and have always received a highly professional service from them. I have always found Alex to be a friendly, approachable and confident recruiter with a swift and professional manner. Alex's service are well recommended, as he has built up one the most favourably regarded specialist recruitment agencies in Cornwall.

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.

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 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 fast growing business It was important for us to find the right calibre of candidate, one that enjoys the inevitable change that growth brings and at the same time an individual who would fit within the culture of our business. Having advertised directly without success, Dan was quick to understand our requirements and was very specific in the CV’s he sent over for the role which arrived in my inbox within a couple of days. As a result, we were able to offer the role to one of Dan’s candidates and bring to an end a two month search for a suitable candidate.

Trial Balance have been a terrific company to work with and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to recruit for their organisation.
