What accounting staffing should actually fix
Your billable hours are capped by the desks you cannot fill. Busy season doubles the queue, and senior staff spend evenings on reconciliations a bookkeeper should already own.

Turnover resets knowledge
Every departure resets client knowledge, and traditional agencies charge 20-30% of first-year salary to replace it.
Model per desk
Some seats belong on your US payroll, and plenty of others do not. The right model depends on the desk.
Two models, one honest number
Traditional agencies charge 20-30% of first-year salary, invoiced once and gone. HireHawk prices both models in the open, and neither one asks you to guess what the second invoice looks like.
Bookkeeping, processing, analysis and client onboarding, run as fully managed seats inside your ledger and workflow. From $12/hr all-inclusive, one monthly fee covering sourcing, vetting, payroll and support.

Explore all roles we staff →Sub-industry fit
Financial and professional practices hire by model, not by headcount. A small CPA firm and a mid-market lender need the same three things: clean books, fast client onboarding, and people who treat confidentiality as a duty.
Busy season capacity without permanent overhead.
Research, decks and delivery support behind the partners.
Project coordination and client support between engagements.
Analysis and reporting produced to deadline.
Portfolio administration and client reporting handled.
A production bench behind every engagement.
Data rooms, diligence checklists and closing files.
Loan processing and underwriting support at volume.
Carriers, agencies and MGAs run on a different licensing and appointment model, so that work sits on our staffing page for insurance carriers and agencies.

Every application is screened against the role's real requirements before a recruiter reviews it.

Communication and culture
We assess English fluency, communication, and fit for how your team actually works.
Background verification
Work history, credentials, and identity are verified before any candidate advances.

The right model depends on the seat, not the business. Some roles need someone in the building; back-office, documentation and administrative work does not, and costs far less remotely.

Frequently asked questions
How much does an accounting staffing agency charge?
Traditional agencies charge 20-30% of first-year salary for a direct hire placement. HireHawk US direct hire is a $995 retainer plus 12.5% of first-year salary, or 15% with no upfront at all. Global fully managed staff run from $12/hr all-inclusive, month to month, with no placement percentage and no retainer.
Should I hire US or global for this desk?
Ask who the seat talks to and what it signs. If it sits in client meetings, signs returns, or answers to a regulator, hire in the US at a $995 retainer plus 12.5%. If it processes, reconciles, reports, or supports, run it globally from $12/hr. Most firms end up running both.
How fast can you fill an accounting role?
You see a shortlist in 10 calendar days from the scoping call, for either model. Onboarding is complete in 21 days, including systems access and workflow handover. Speed comes from recruiting continuously across six core talent markets rather than starting a fresh search when your request lands.
What are the downsides of using a staffing agency?
The usual ones are paying a fee before you see performance, a replacement window of 30 to 90 days that still carries a fee, and no relationship once the invoice clears. We answer each: 15% with no upfront, a 60-day guarantee on US direct hire, and a Client Success Manager who stays on the account.
Can global staff handle client tax and financial data?
Yes, inside your systems only. Global team members work through your accounts, your permissions, and your audit logs, never on personal machines or shared logins. Confidentiality terms are signed before day one. Your firm keeps the client relationship and the professional duty, exactly as it would with a local employee.
What happens if an accounting hire does not work out in busy season?
US direct hire carries a 60-day replacement guarantee. Global fully managed carries a 100% performance replacement guarantee, and stays month to month, so you are never locked into a seat that is not working. In both cases we re-source rather than argue about scope.
Do you staff roles outside accounting?
Yes. The same firms hire operations, risk and compliance, technology, marketing, sales, admin and HR through us, all listed in full above. Loan processors, KYC/AML analysts, BI analysts and executive assistants are the most common requests once core finance seats are covered.
