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

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 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.

Trial Balance have been instrumental to our Finance team, recruiting all the current members. Elle is very approachable and always cheerful on the phone, she asks the right questions about the role and requirements and gets the right fit for the vacancy.

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

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.

We were looking to replace a valued employee in a crucial role leaving big shoes to fill and Trial Balance exceeded expectations. Within 24 hours we were provided with a shortlist of candidates and we interviewed and recruited a smashing candidate within 4 days from when we first made contact. The team listened to our brief and provided quality candidates for consideration. Communication from Elle was exemplary; efficient and friendly and a pleasure to deal with. We would be pleased to endorse Trial Balance; recruitment fees can be a bitter pill for SMEs to swallow but Trial Balance deserve every penny!

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.

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.

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.
