We had never brought this type of expertise in-house, so we weren’t sure what level of experience we needed. Alliance Resource Group showed us a slate of candidates with varying levels of experience. Our search was successful, and we came back to Alliance again the next time we needed talent.
Our CFO left unexpectedly, and we needed to conduct a fast and efficient search for their replacement. I was impressed with how quickly Alliance responded. They interviewed our executive team, wrote the job description, and helped us clarify our value proposition. We were able to secure an excellent candidate within 60 days. He has already made a significant impact at our firm.
We struggled for months to find a Director of Tax. Other recruiters told us that our expectations were too high and suggested we make the position a hybrid role. We were introduced to Alliance. Within weeks, they identified several terrific candidates who were willing to work in office. Alliance is now our first and only call for talent.
I value Alliance Resource Group’s complete transparency. They keep me informed of search progress, candidate feedback, and market trends. Alliance helps me to maintain our firm’s competitive edge. They are an exceptional partner.
Since taking over the CFO position at my firm, I’ve completely reorganized and upskilled my team. I hired more than seven people from Alliance Resource Group – all with excellent results. They nailed not only the technical fit but also our quirky culture. I would recommend them to anyone.
Our company is experiencing hypergrowth. We needed to build out a world-class finance and accounting team. Alliance Resource Group found superstars to lead our accounting and FP&A groups. Since then, we’ve had several more successful placements with them. The Alliance team is high caliber, responsive and consistently delivers exceptionally qualified candidates.
I have used several consultants from Alliance. I am always impressed with their candidates’ technical and soft skills. Despite our niche industry’s training requirements, their consultants excel and learn quickly. We highly value their network and consulting professionals.
We’ve partnered with Alliance Resource Group for over 15 years for our accounting, finance, and treasury needs. Their account manager not only highlights candidates’ strengths but also shares areas for potential development. This honest approach has fostered a relationship built on immense trust.
My co-founder and I decided to aggressively pursue growth through acquisitions for a potential sale within five years. We needed a strategic CFO with specific industry experience who could help us take the company to the next level. We knew it would be challenging due to the narrow talent pool that met our requirements. However, Alliance Resource Group persevered. They found a candidate who not only had direct industry experience but who had also recently completed a similar acquisition. He has been an amazing addition to our team!
I have used Alliance for all my staffing needs for the last twelve years. They have a very good pulse on the Southern California talent market. I always review their annual salary guide to make sure I’m paying my people competitively. My account manager is wonderful. She’s very knowledgeable and well-networked. I’ve also used her as a resource when I need other types of professional services.
We faced the sudden departure of a Senior Finance Manager due to a family tragedy. This occurred just one week before our crucial budgeting and forecasting season, during our first year with a Private Equity firm. Alliance Resource Group provided three qualified candidates within 24 hours. We swiftly hired a consultant, enabling us to deliver the budget and forecast on time. Miraculously, we even received positive feedback from the Private Equity firm. I highly recommend Alliance Resource Group for their reliability and expertise in financial talent acquisition.
One of my first items of business after joining the company was to identify and hire a Chief Financial Officer. Due to a few bad experiences in the past, our ownership was very gun shy and wary. We were referred to Alliance Resource Group and met with them several times before retaining them for our search. Alliance clearly understood the dynamics of a multigenerational family business. They quickly zeroed in and were able to identify the right culture fit for our organization. The new CFO has already had an incredible impact on the company and has earned the trust of our entire executive team. Alliance’s remarkable ability to find talent that matches and compliments different personalities really sets them apart.
I was familiar with Alliance Resource Group through their newsletters. When our company decided to implement a new software program, I needed an interim accounting consultant to back up my team while they worked on the implementation. This was a long-term project that required a commitment of no less than 12-18 months. Alliance thoroughly vetted the candidates they showed us. The interviewees all demonstrated a strong commitment to the project and were willing to see it through to completion. The consultant we chose has been fantastic. We are already looking at other projects for him once this one is complete.
Alliance Resource Group is my go-to firm every year when my department gets crunched at year-end. I started using their services several years ago when my team experienced burnout by February due to reporting deadlines and compliance. Alliance consistently sends us great accounting consultants, many of whom have worked with them for years. They get the job done well and integrate seamlessly with our team. Year-end is always challenging, but using Alliance’s consultants has significantly boosted my team’s morale. I recommend them for their competence and consistency. You always know what you are going to get.
We faced the retirement of our CFO after 30 years. He was one of our first hires, and I was worried about giving the keys to the kingdom to anyone else. It was hard to know what a good candidate looked like. Following a referral, we invited someone from Alliance to meet with our executive team. She answered every question and explained the recruiting process, the current talent market, and compensation trends. I never felt like I was being sold to, just advised. We were able to make a decision after interviewing only three candidates, because they all really understood our family’s priorities and were so well-prepared. We wanted someone who could improve things while staying true to our culture. Our new CFO is phenomenal and has fit right in. I highly recommend Alliance.
I have worked with Alliance Resource Group for more than ten years. They are straight shooters and never try to oversell a project. They treat me like one of their own and are always responsive when I need something or have a question. I like that they check-in to make sure my projects are going well and that I’m happy.
I have been placed twice in my career by Alliance Resource Group. Both positions were fantastic and were instrumental in moving my career forward. I am now in my ‘forever’ role, thanks to Alliance.
I was constantly contacted by recruiters while in public accounting, but I mostly ignored them. When I decided to leave, I asked my college accounting professor, who was my mentor, for advice. He recommended Alliance Resource Group, saying he referred all his alumni who wanted to make a career move to them. It was a great suggestion! I left a message and received a call back the same day. The recruiter spent over an hour with me on Zoom, discussing my skills and what I wanted to do next. She really listened and had great advice about my options. She told me about several opportunities that led to interviews at three companies. The entire process was incredibly positive. She was a terrific advocate for me.
I wasn’t actively looking for a new role when Alliance Resource Group reached out to me about a position at a high-profile family office in LA. While I’m willing to listen to new opportunities, I’m rarely interested. However, the recruiter provided so much detail about the role – the responsibilities, the culture, the long-term growth potential, and even the potential challenges – that I could really picture it. I’m thrilled I decided to pursue this opportunity. I’m now with a large, highly respected family office, working with a great team and making more money. Since then, I’ve also referred several friends and colleagues to Alliance with great results.
I really appreciated the way the Alliance worked with me through the interview and offer process. I believed I was underpaid and was asking for a bigger than normal market jump. They explained the pros and cons of asking for such a large percentage bump. They advocated for me and got me a great offer. I highly recommend them.
I was at my company for many years and had never really considered leaving. However, a recruiter from Alliance Resource Group, checked in with me consistently a few times a year. During one conversation, I described my ideal role. Two years later, she found it! I’m incredibly grateful she encouraged me to interview, because it ignited my career again. Alliance’s dedication to keeping a relationship with me over the long term helped me land my dream job!
I was referred to Alliance Resource Group by my former boss. Alliance put me on a challenging and rewarding WorkDay implementation project with an amazing, publicly traded healthcare company. It was a terrific project that significantly expanded my skill set, and they paid me a very competitive rate. The recruiter was very responsive. They worked hard to make sure I had another project waiting for me when that one finished. I really appreciated their approach and have recommended them to friends and colleagues.
My recruiter at Alliance Resource Group walked me through the entire process – from presenting roles that matched my skillset to negotiating my offer. He was knowledgeable about the companies, thoroughly prepared me for interviews, and was quick with feedback. During the interview process, I talked to him almost every day. He really understood my compensation needs and career goals. I could tell that he was on my side. He got me a great offer with a fantastic organization and continues to check in regularly. Alliance has exceeded my expectations.
I’ve known the team at Alliance Resource Group for more than five years. I’m consistently impressed with the opportunities and companies they represent. When they told me about this role, I jumped at it! It’s the best job I’ve ever had, and it has great long-term growth potential. I will have the opportunity to be the CFO when the current CFO retires. I am so glad that Alliance kept me on their radar and reached out! I recommend connecting with them if you’re considering a new role, either now or in the future.
I had a great experience working with Alliance. Throughout the entire process, they were responsible and kept me in the loop with timing and feedback. I was getting a bit frustrated, because the client was taking a long time to move to next steps. I had other positions I was considering, but I really wanted this role. Alliance’s team did an excellent job of communicating what was happening in real time. Ultimately, they lit a fire under the hiring manager (my boss now) and got me an offer before I accepted something else. It was because of them that I’m in my role now, and I love it!
I have consulted for Alliance off and on for fifteen years. They have always brought me great projects. Recently, they brought me a very interesting turnaround project for a company that was facing significant cash flow issues and a potential restatement. The CEO was great, and Alliance was very honest about the challenges the company faced, which I appreciated. Working with the CEO, we got cash flow under control within six months. The CEO asked me to be his CFO on a permanent basis, and Alliance was fully supportive. They acted with integrity. They definitely prioritize long-term relationships with candidates and clients.
My recruiter at Alliance did a fantastic job. He told me about a great opportunity but was honest that the compensation was below what I was earning. I had followed the company over the last few years, and several of my colleagues had left my current organization to join it. I really wanted to interview, but I was hesitant to take a pay cut. He was very transparent and made no promises. but he put me forward for the role. I interviewed, and the recruiter was able to get me a small increase on my base salary plus equity as well. I really appreciated having someone so competent representing me and negotiating for me.
The team at Alliance has reached out to me consistently over the last few years. When I was finally ready to make a move, I felt like I had known the recruiter for years! She was so interested in what my ideal role was and what my long-term career goals were. It was refreshing compared to being presented with positions that weren’t suitable for me. She really listened. When she described the opportunity to apply for my current job, she focused on the areas that were important to me. Alliance had me hook, line and sinker. And they delivered!
When I was leaving public accounting, I was uncertain about where my career could go. I reached out to Alliance Resource Group. My recruiter gave me resources that I would never have been able to find on my own. I’m incredibly grateful for their mentorship and support. They helped me to transition to a great role in private industry.
As a CFO in my industry, you find yourself out of a job every few years. Alliance Resource Group has consistently presented me with great opportunities over the years. Some I have been interested in, and some I haven’t, but I’ve always appreciated their insights. When this most recent opportunity came up, they really went to bat for me on equity and a change of control clause. Having collaborated with them as both a hiring manager and a candidate, I can honestly say the firm really knows their stuff and is committed to a win-win for all sides. I can’t recommend them enough.
