The Best Finance Talent Isn’t Actively Looking — We Know How to Find Them

Senior finance and accounting professionals — controllers, directors, CFOs — are rarely between jobs for long. The strongest ones are recruited directly, through relationships and reputation, not job postings.

Groom has spent 25+ years building those relationships, tracking talent emerging from Canada’s top financial schools, and staying connected with professionals at every level of the finance function.

600+ finance and accounting professionals placed across permanent and contract roles.

Why Finance Leaders Choose Groom

Finance hiring carries real organizational risk. A strong candidate who doesn’t fit your reporting structure, culture, or compliance requirements can create more problems than a vacancy. Our team is built to get that distinction right, every time.
