Accounting/Bookkeeping Practice Owners:
Never hire unqualified staff again!
Some of our WizeTalent Clients
The costs of hiring the wrong person are astronomical.
The typical cost is thousands and hundreds of hours, not including stress for your other staff who must cover their work while searching for new hires and managers who need to train someone with little notice of an already tight schedule.
I've never been perfect – several recruitment mistakes have happened at some point in my career- but that's what we want today: avoiding mistakes like mine because it will save businesses like yours time, money, and anxiety.
It's important to avoid the horrors at all costs.
When hiring, you're dealing with people and it’s not an exact science, but we try our best by creating a system that gets us as close to perfect results without mis-hiring candidates.
That said, there are key insights into what really matters when recruiting the best talents for your firms. In this playbook, we'll discuss them in detail.

Here's what our WizeTalent Clients had to say...
Tracy Johnson
Principal - SRJ Walker Wayland
"WizeTalent provided a first-class service in securing two top accounting/bookkeeper recruits for my expanding offshore team. The Wize team was efficient in the recruitment process and deployed their "top grading" techniques thatwere embedded in their approach from start to finish. I felt the recruitment interaction and focus of the Wize team was much more than a "transaction" which is what you get with many other recruiters, as Wize personally strived to know what candidates would suit my team and found the top 10% of the talent in the pool of a list of candidates."
Justin Botillier
Founder/CEO - Calyx CPA
"The WizeTalent team was very easy to work with. We were guided every step of the way and we ended up with a stellar bookkeeper."
Kristy Fairbairn
CEO & Founder - The Business Oasis
"I am so grateful for the WizeTalent team's help in finding my Assistant Client Manager. I have recently gone through the hiring experience myself with a few resources to help me and sadly, one of the hires I made didn't last and didn't stay with me. That really made me nervous about doing it all over again. And so having that confidence and that support from the Wizetalent team helped me really find that one-percenter in the application process which was great. I couldn't recommend them highly enough to help you feel confident in the candidates that you get being the right people."

Partner - Brunner Accounting Group
"We used WizeTalent to help us hire a Senior Production Manager and we were really happy with their guidance. They walked us through their system, gave us materials so that we can interview somebody and ask the right questions, follow up with references—just generally using a framework, which we wouldn't have been very systematized about. I think that was a huge value add for us. We definitely recommend WizeTalent to anybody who's looking for a partner in the process of hiring talent which is really difficult to do."
Jennifer Hickey
Owner - Tax Store Mackay
"I've just completed using the service that was being provided by WizeTalent. It was a great experience from end to end. They provided a super service and we were able to have a new recruit. Actually, we ended up with two recruits onboarded within about a six-week timeframe. The team was there to support me along the way. I highly recommend WizeTalent for your next recruit, especially when getting an offshore team that you can have a better connection with."
Sam Altman
Principal - Full Cycle CFO, Ltd
"My experience with the WizeTalent team was really great. The team helped me put together job posts, manage applicants, and ensured that I didn't have to wade through resumes and interview unqualified candidates. They shortlist the most ideal clients for you. I didn't have to deal with a lot of the headaches that you typically do when you're trying to go at it alone. The position we filled was an administrative assistant and the process went great. I'm really looking forward to doing my next hire with their team, and I highly recommend them to anyone else."
