The Perillo Group is an accounting recruiting firm that recruits for both sides of the ledger: regional CPA firms building tax and audit teams, and companies hiring the accountants and controllers their growth depends on. We run direct hire searches for firms and companies across the country. Accounting hiring is unforgiving of a bad brief, because the difference between a staff accountant and the senior your firm actually needs shows up in busy season, not in the interview. We define the role properly before we search.
For CPA firms, we recruit at the level regional and local firms actually hire: experienced public accounting professionals who want a firm where they are known, not a number. For companies, we recruit the core accounting team roles from staff through controller.
Accounting searches fail on timing and on honesty about the work: the close schedule, the systems in place, and what busy season really looks like. We run it the other way.
Every search we run is direct hire. There are no upfront fees, and every placement carries a 90 day replacement guarantee. If the person does not work out in the first 90 days, we run the search again.
We are based in the Philadelphia area and recruit for CPA firms and companies nationwide. Accounting talent is credential and community driven: CPAs know each other, and a search run with discretion and a good reputation in that community reaches people a posting never will.
Tell us the role you need filled and we will tell you honestly what the market looks like for it, how long it should take, and what it will pay. Call us at 215.528.4256 or send the role through our Request Talent page.

Nothing upfront. We work on a direct hire basis: you pay a fee only when your hire starts, agreed in writing before the search begins. If we do not fill the role, you do not pay for the search.
Both. We recruit tax and audit staff for regional CPA firms, and staff accountants through controllers for companies hiring their own finance teams.
Most clients see their first qualified candidates within days of the brief. Timing tightens around busy season, which is why firms that plan ahead of January get the strongest candidates.
Every placement carries a 90 day replacement guarantee. If the hire leaves or is let go within the first 90 days, we run the replacement search at no additional fee.
Yes. We are based in the Philadelphia area and recruit for CPA firms and companies nationwide.
No. Candidates never pay; the hiring firm or company pays our fee, and conversations are confidential.
