Tax Advisory · Audit · Legal
Recruitment for tax advisory, audit and law firms.
I fill roles at tax advisory firms, audit firms and interdisciplinary professional-services firms — from specialists through to leadership and succession. Always with respect for reputation and client relationships.
Organisational worlds
Tax advisory firms, audit practices, law firms and multidisciplinary partnerships — as well as in-house tax and audit functions where professional-services expertise matters.
For law firms, I focus on commercial and management roles — office management, business development, finance and firm leadership — rather than presenting myself as a specialist in legal-practice recruitment.
Role architecture
Three fields — from specialist to partnership.
Specialists & professionals
Tax clerks · Certified tax specialists · Financial accounting · Payroll · Audit assistance
These markets are highly competitive. Confidentiality, relevance and a personal approach determine whether the right people engage.
Specialists & management
Tax advisors · Tax / audit managers · Firm management · Team and division leadership
These roles combine technical depth with leadership potential. Client portfolio, responsibility and progression shape the fit.
Leadership & succession
Auditors · Partners · Succession · Commercial / operational firm leadership
Handled confidentially, with carefully coordinated approval steps that protect reputation and client relationships.
What makes this search different
Six factors that make or break a search in professional services.
Reputation
Firms live on trust. Every approach has to stand up to that standard.
Confidentiality
Any consideration of a move stays strictly protected until written approval.
Location & remote
On-site presence, hybrid, or predominantly remote — clarified cleanly in advance.
Client structure
Size, sectors, complexity and international exposure shape the fit.
Development & partnership
Technical perspective, career path and equity model are part of the role.
Leadership style & systems
How the firm is led — and which tools it works with — often separates those open to moving from those who are not.
Search situations
