Baker Thornton is a specialist recruitment firm focused exclusively on placing audit, tax, and accounting professionals in accounting practices across the UK, USA and Canada.

We work with Top 10-100 accounting firms, regional practices, and boutique specialist firms who need reliable access to qualified talent.

WHY SPECIALIST MATTERS

Unlike generalist recruiters who work across multiple sectors, we only recruit for accounting practices. This specialisation means we understand:

- Practice dynamics and client service requirements
- Busy season pressures and capacity planning  
- Progression paths from senior to manager to partner
- The difference between practice experience and corporate finance backgrounds
- How to assess genuine practice fit beyond CV credentials

FOR ACCOUNTING PRACTICES

We help firms hire audit, tax, and accounting professionals who can deliver from day one. Our approach:

→ Curated shortlists of 3-5 quality candidates within 5-7 days
→ Only professionals with practice experience or genuine practice aspirations
→ Complete transparency throughout the process
→ 3-month replacement guarantee

FOR PROFESSIONALS

→ Confidential career conversations
→ Honest market intelligence and salary benchmarking
→ Access to opportunities at Top 10-100 firms
→ Interview preparation with firm-specific insights
→ No fees for candidates (ever)

OUR APPROACH

We're relationship-driven, selective, and focused on long-term success rather than quick placements. We only work on roles we genuinely understand, and we only present candidates who are right for practice life.

Whether you're an accounting practice with hiring needs or a professional exploring opportunities, we'd be happy to connect.
