Accounts Practice professionals – Accountancy Practice

Here at Addington Ball, we have a long-standing working relationship with a small regional practice based in Warwickshire. They assigned us to find a replacement for a qualified individual and were also keen to made aware of any part-qualified professionals to facilitate their long-term growth plans on a watching brief basis.

Initially, we used a targeted approach on LinkedIn and CV databases for qualified practice professionals as well as advertised to mop up any passive job seekers. As part of this search, we were able to market map other local practice professionals which may be applicable to the part-qualified requirement.

Addington Ball worked on this as a sole agency and was successful in finding a qualified practice professional to fill the upcoming void. Beyond that, we also secured not one, but two top quality studiers for the practice, all through our precise searching methods and outreach.
