FAQs

What qualifications should employers look for when hiring a Certified Public Accountant?

Employers should evaluate CPA candidates based on licensing status, technical accounting expertise, industry experience, tax and audit knowledge, financial reporting capabilities, and communication skills. The right CPA should possess both strong technical abilities and the ability to support broader business objectives.

Can Burnett Specialists help hire CPAs for public accounting firms and corporate finance departments?

Yes. We recruit CPA professionals for public accounting firms, corporate finance departments, privately held businesses, publicly traded companies, nonprofit organizations, and other employers seeking licensed accounting expertise.

What industries do you support with CPA recruiting?

Burnett Specialists supports employers across a variety of industries, including energy, healthcare, manufacturing, professional services, technology, real estate, financial services, and nonprofit organizations.

Why do employers partner with accounting recruiters when hiring CPAs?

Accounting recruiters help employers access qualified CPA talent more efficiently, reduce hiring timelines, and identify candidates with the technical expertise and industry experience needed to support complex financial responsibilities.

What should employers look for when hiring a CPA in Texas?

Start with the work the CPA will actually perform. Employers may need experience in audit, tax, financial reporting, technical accounting, SEC reporting, public accounting or industry accounting. The CPA credential alone does not determine fit. Burnett’s accounting recruiters help employers evaluate the candidate’s technical background, industry experience and level of responsibility.

How much should employers expect to pay a CPA in Texas?

CPA compensation varies widely based on experience, specialty, industry, city and responsibility level. A CPA moving into a Controller or technical accounting role will have different expectations from an early-career accountant. Burnett can help employers compare compensation with current Texas candidate expectations before the search begins.

When should I use an accounting recruiter to find a CPA?

A recruiter can help when employers need a CPA with specialized industry, public accounting, technical reporting or leadership experience. Many experienced CPAs are already employed, so relying only on applicants may miss strong candidates who would consider the right opportunity.
