Recruiter – Accounting & Finance – Hybrid – New York, NY

If you’re in accounting or finance and starting to question the path, whether it’s the repetition of close, long audit cycles, or simply a lack of engagement/interaction, you’re not alone.

We’ve built our Accounting & Finance recruiting team at Advice with professionals who share that same mindset. Many of our highest-performing recruiters started in audit, accounting, or FP&A and were seeking a more dynamic, relationship-driven role where effort and engagement would correlate directly with earning potential.

We support VC-backed and high-growth companies in building their finance organizations, from junior hires through executive leadership, giving you direct exposure to scaling teams and the people leading them.

Why people actually make the switch:

Let’s be real — traditional accounting/finance paths can look like:

• Incremental raises
• Long hours tied to close cycles or audits
• Limited upside unless you wait your turn

Recruiting flips that model:

• Uncapped earnings → your output directly drives your income
• Faster career trajectory → no rigid promotion timelines
• More engaging work → relationship-driven, not task-driven
• Leverage your background → you already speak the language

What you’ll actually be doing:

• Building relationships with accounting & finance professionals across all levels
• Partnering with high-growth companies to help them hire critical talent
• Running full-cycle recruiting (outreach → interview prep → offer negotiation)
• Developing your own client relationships over time (real ownership)
• Acting as a trusted advisor to both candidates and clients

Who tends to do well here:

• Accounting or finance professionals who want to leverage their existing technical knowledge in a more engaging and people-centric career path
• People who want more control over their income
• Naturally competitive, driven, and entrepreneurial individuals
• Strong communicators who enjoy working with people vs. spreadsheets
• Anyone who’s thought: “I could be doing something more fulfilling than this”

What we offer:

• Competitive base salary
• Uncapped commission (no ceiling on earnings)
• Bonus opportunities + team incentives
• Hands-on training from former CPAs/finance professionals who made the same move
• A collaborative, high-performance environment (not a churn-and-burn shop)

Bottom line:

If you’ve built a solid foundation in accounting or finance but know you want more upside, more autonomy, and a more dynamic career, this is a chance to make that move.
