Accounting and finance staffing is what Accounting & Finance Professionals has done in Phoenix since 1999, and these five areas are where our recruiters actually work. Every candidate in them sits down with a recruiter one on one, clears supervisory level references and is screened for the skills the role needs before you see a resume.
We staff Phoenix, Scottsdale, Chandler, Mesa, Tempe, Peoria and the rest of the metro, on a temporary, temp to hire or direct hire basis. If your role sits across two of these areas, that is normal. Tell us what the person actually does and we will sort out the title.
This is the work we were built for. Since 1999 we have placed accounting and finance professionals with Phoenix employers at every level, from the clerk who keeps invoices moving to the CFO who owns the forecast. Recruiters here know the difference between a staff accountant and a senior accountant on a resume, and they know which one your month end actually needs.
We fill those on a temporary, temp to hire or direct hire basis, and every candidate has met a recruiter one on one first.
An accounting department runs on the people who keep the paperwork straight. We place the administrative support that sits alongside your finance team, and we screen them the same way we screen an accountant, with a one on one interview and supervisory level references.
These are the roles clients ask for when someone goes on leave, when a project adds paperwork nobody planned for, or when the front desk needs covering without pulling a bookkeeper away from the close.
Aging receivables are a cash flow problem long before they are an accounting problem. We place credit and collections people who can work an aging report, hold a firm conversation with a customer and keep the relationship intact afterward.
Collections is also one of the clearest cases for temporary help. A backlog is finite work, and adding a permanent seat for it rarely makes sense. Bring someone in, clear the queue, and return to your usual staffing level.
Data entry sounds simple until it is wrong. When the work is high volume and the error rate matters, we test for it. Candidates can be evaluated on speed and accuracy before you ever see a resume, and we can screen for the specific system your team works in.
This is the area clients call about during a system conversion, a migration or a backlog that has quietly grown past what the permanent staff can absorb. It is finite work with a clear finish line, which is exactly what temporary staffing is for.
Tax work arrives in waves, and the wave always lands on the same people. We staff public accounting firms and corporate tax departments through filing season and the extension deadlines that follow, with preparers and accountants who have done the season before.
Start early. In a competitive market the qualified people are not available for long, and the firms that fill seasonal seats in the fall are the ones still staffed in April.
The three we hear most from business clients.
Do you fill all of these areas temporary and permanent?
Yes. Every area on this page can be filled on a temporary, temp to hire or direct hire basis. Which one makes sense usually depends on whether the work has an end date, whether the headcount is approved, and how much risk a wrong permanent hire carries in that seat.
What if the role does not fit neatly into one area?
Most do not. A bookkeeper who also runs payroll and chases receivables spans three of these lists. Tell us what the person actually does day to day and we will work from that rather than from a job title.
Which industries do you place into?
Accounting and finance roles exist in every industry, and we place into all of them across the Phoenix metro. If the role itself sits outside accounting, finance and administration, our sister company Staff Logic covers marketing, legal, healthcare, customer service, light industrial and IT.
