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

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.

Great service from Steve, really pleased with the help and support he provided to us in filling our role. He got to understand us and what we were looking for and sent us some great candidates that matched exactly what we wanted. This is the first time we have used Trial Balance, we would definitely use them again and recommend them to other businesses.

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.

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

We have used Trial Balance to place two members of staff in the last 12 months, the quality of the applicants has been good and we are delighted with our new team members who are excellent.

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 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.

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.

One of the hardest parts of running an accountancy practice is finding quality, qualified and experienced staff with the right fit for my business. Trial Balance managed to find exactly who I was looking for which has really helped my business to grow. They are always a pleasure to deal with, really informative and dealt with the communications between me and the potential employee in a prompt and professional manner. I would be happy to recommend them.

I am more than happy to endorse Trial Balance as my first choice for recruitment – either as a candidate or a recruiter – the whole team are excellent! They have provided the best candidates and deliver a professional service. I would have no hesitation in recommending Trial Balance.
