One kind of search, done exceptionally well
Royal Search Group is a boutique firm that places accounting and finance talent. Direct hire only. No temp, no contract. We treat a search as a long-term partnership rather than a transaction, which means fewer résumés, better ones, and people who are still in the seat in year three. Recruiting nationwide.

What sets us apart
AI-Enabled Sourcing We run the latest AI-enabled search platforms to map an entire market quickly and surface the candidates who genuinely fit the brief. | Screening Stays Human Technology finds people. It does not judge them. Work history, motivations, and cultural fit are read in real conversations, never outsourced to AI. | No Generic Blasts Every campaign is built around the level and nature of the role. Outreach is personal and specific, because the best talent does not answer mass email. |
Who we areRoyal Search Group is a boutique direct-hire firm built by people who worked in accounting and finance before they recruited for it. Behind the search desk is more than 13 years of recruiting backed by nearly three decades of combined experience across public accounting, corporate finance, and PE portfolio companies. We know what the role demands because we have held it. | Who it’s forPrivately held businesses, PE-backed companies, and mid-market to large corporations building accounting and finance teams. CPA firms hiring from staff through partner. RIAs, wealth managers, and private equity and real estate investment funds. One wrong hire in the finance function is felt for years. |
How the engagement works No upfront cost. You pay only when a placement is made. If a candidate leaves inside the agreed window, we replace them at no additional cost or refund the placement fee. Engagements can be exclusive or non-exclusive, terms and rates are flexible, and we can supplement internal or other search efforts with non-duplicated candidates. |
