if there’s anything a finance or accounting office needs more than clients, it’s professionals to handle the work. but just as we need them most, they’re hardest to find. recruitment and retention are perhaps the profession’s biggest challenge these days.

hiring help is no longer a simple matter of offering higher pay and better bennies than the firm down the street. today’s accounting professionals are looking for more. in search of whatever it is that professionals are searching for, we went looking for firms that seem to have little or no recruitment problems. we didn’t find many — just 22 out of more than 400 we checked — but we paid close attention to what those 22 had to say.
