How We Deliver

Our award-winning team of corporate financial staffing experts is here to help you find the perfect match, no matter what kind of employment best meets your needs. We have extensive experience filling the following placement types:

Temporary & Contract Placement

We place talent for a fixed amount of time or for a specific task or job. Temporary employees are considered associates of the employers, while contract workers are not.

Temporary-to-Direct Hire Placement

We place talent on a short-term basis to see how they fit in a role before the employer extends a permanent offer.

Direct-Hire Placement

We place professionals who are intended to become full-time employees and go on the company payroll. These employees are eligible for benefits.

Of the 4 interviewed, all could have done the job, and at least 3 would have been great fits with my firm.”

Frequently Asked Questions

What does KBW Financial Staffing & Recruiting do?

KBW is a specialized finance and accounting staffing and recruiting firm serving employers and professionals throughout New England.

We help companies identify and hire top finance and accounting talent, and we help professionals find opportunities that align with their experience, career goals and long-term potential.

Our recruiting teams work across temporary, contract, temporary-to-hire and direct-hire searches, from entry-level accounting positions through senior leadership and CFO roles.

Why work with a specialized finance and accounting recruiting firm?

Finance and accounting hiring requires more than matching keywords on a resume.

KBW recruiters specialize in the finance and accounting market. We understand the differences between accounting, FP&A, technical accounting, financial reporting, cost accounting and senior finance leadership roles, as well as the experience employers look for at each level.

That specialization, combined with our long-standing relationships throughout New England, allows us to quickly understand what an employer needs and identify professionals whose experience aligns with the opportunity.

What staffing services do you offer?

The staffing services we offer include temporary and contract, temporary-to-direct hire, and direct hire roles.

Here’s how to know which type is right for you:

Do you recruit for remote and hybrid finance and accounting positions?

Yes. KBW recruits for onsite, hybrid and remote finance and accounting opportunities.

Because workplace expectations vary significantly by employer and position, our recruiters work to understand both the company’s requirements and the candidate’s preferences before making a match.

What markets does KBW serve?

KBW is focused on the New England market.

Our recruiting teams have deep networks throughout Massachusetts, New Hampshire and the surrounding New England region, giving us relationships with both employers and finance and accounting professionals that have been built over many years.

Our regional focus allows our recruiters to understand the companies, talent market, compensation trends and hiring dynamics within the communities we serve. Our offices are located across both Massachusetts and New Hampshire.

How quickly can KBW fill an open finance or accounting position?

Every search is different. Hiring timelines depend on factors including the level of the position, technical requirements, compensation, location and onsite expectations, candidate availability and the employer’s interview process.

For urgent temporary and contract needs, qualified professionals may be available quickly. Specialized and senior-level direct-hire searches typically require a more targeted recruiting process.

Our goal isn’t simply to send resumes quickly. It’s to identify qualified candidates who make sense for the position and organization.

Does KBW work with passive candidates or only active job seekers?

Both.

Some of the strongest professionals in the market aren’t actively applying to jobs. Our recruiters maintain relationships with finance and accounting professionals throughout New England, including currently employed candidates who are willing to consider the right opportunity.

That allows us to recruit beyond the candidates who happen to be responding to job postings.

Do job seekers pay a fee to work with KBW?

No. There is never a fee for job seekers to work with KBW.

Our recruiters can help you explore current opportunities, understand the New England finance and accounting job market, evaluate compensation and identify positions that align with your experience and career goals.

Employers pay KBW for our recruiting and staffing services. Submit your resume or get in touch to hire talent today.

How does KBW vet candidates and ensure quality?

Our recruiters personally interview and evaluate candidates before presenting them to an employer.

We assess professional experience, technical capabilities, career history, compensation expectations, location and work-model preferences, career goals and the factors motivating a potential move.

Just as importantly, we take the time to understand the employer. Our recruiting process begins with learning about the position, team, company, culture and what success looks like in the role.

The goal is not simply to match a resume to a job description. It’s to create the right match between the professional, the opportunity and the organization.
