Our Practice
Although our practice specializes in working only with financial professionals, helping people make intelligent career decisions is what we’re really about.
Candidates at the early stages of their careers a (< 5 years) are building their foundation. Some begin in public accounting, before moving on. Others start in corporate accounting or audit. Although there are far more options available at this stage, the career choices made early on often have longer term implications. Candidates in the 5-15 year range are farther along, both in their careers and in their lives. Some want work/life balance. Others want the fastest track to the top. Finally, candidates at more advanced stages have totally different considerations driving their search. We’ve helped many senior level financial executives find the right leadership role to properly leverage their experience and impact.
Timing is Everything
It’s true. At different stages in your career, your goals and objectives will change. Your openness to consider other options also changes from year to year. Our firm understands these complexities and nuances. Some people want a fast track to the top. Others want a different route. Still others are not sure of what they want. We’ve successfully guided many professionals through the process, both at the early stages of the careers as well as those well on their way.
Our Philosophy
Our philosophy is different than many other recruiting firms. Our goal isn’t to profit from moving you. It’s to help you make an intelligent decision, even if that means staying put.

Our Process
Our process is designed to help you sort through your circumstances and considerations to arrive at the best decision for you, not us. As a candidate of our firm, you’ll benefit from insightful decision tools we’ve developed to provide you with meaningful guidance.
We’ll work closely with you to measure the ‘fit’ of your current job, assess your current level of engagement and identify both your strengths and areas for development. We’ll also help you prioritize your career goals, clarify critical considerations and define potential career paths to give you a meaningful framework so that you understand your options.
We’ll help you paint a target of what ‘good’ looks like in your situation. We’ll only present opportunities in alignment with your goals. There’s no pressure, sales pitch or arm-twisting. Our interview preparation will help you evaluate the overall fit. You’ll have reliable information to make an intelligent decision. You choose, with no pressure, whether you want to move forward in the process, or take a pass.
Either way, you’ll have the confidence in knowing you’re making the right choice and why. However, it’s important to note that we can’t be everything to everyone, nor can we help everyone. What drives our decision is the chances of us working together successfully. We move forward only after an initial evaluation in which we both agree there are good prospects of success.
Finally, it’s important to note that we work only with top-notch employers of choice. Our client base includes many of the most sought after companies throughout Wisconsin. They are very selective about the people they hire. They work with our firm because they know we will only bring them high quality people, serious about making a move, who are a good match for their needs.
If this is the kind of business relationship you’d like with a recruiter, send us a candidate contact inquiry. We’ll follow up with a confidential contact. We’ll evaluate our chances of working together successfully, and then we’ll discuss current opportunities that will achieve your career goals.
