- [Why Accounting Teams Skip AI Conversations](https://mamrecruiting.com/why-accounting-teams-skip-ai/): I had two separate conversations this week that landed in the same place, which is usually my signal that something’s actually going on rather than just one person’s opinion.The first was with a controller I’ve placed before, checking in the way I do every few months. She’s six years into her role at a commercial real estate firm, sharp, technically strong, the kind of person who’d normally be an early adopter of anything that makes her job easier. When I asked about AI, she said her firm is still “figuring it out” — no real implementation yet, though the software they […]
- [Why New Controllers Quit](https://mamrecruiting.com/why-new-controllers-quit/): I’ve had a few conversations recently with Controllers who made a move in the last year and didn’t stay. Not my placements — just people I know in the market. And the reason they left is worth paying attention to if you’re hiring. It wasn’t the money. It wasn’t the commute. It was that the job wasn’t what they were told it would be. In both cases, the companies were enthusiastic in the interview process. The role sounded like a genuine opportunity — real scope, real influence, leadership support, room to build something. And then they got in and found something […]
- [Business vs. Training](https://mamrecruiting.com/interviewing-like-a-business-decision-vs-training-project/): I had a call recently with a candidate who had everything on paper a hiring manager would want. Solid CPA, good tenure, clean track record. But within the first few minutes, something was off — not in her qualifications, but in how she was framing herself. She kept returning to the same theme: she wanted someone who would invest in her, guide her, show her the ropes. “I’m looking for a firm that will mentor me.” It came up three or four times in different forms. I’ve been doing this long enough to know what that sounds like from the other […]
- [Accounting Recruitment: Unconventional Talent](https://mamrecruiting.com/accounting-recruitment-unconventional-talent/): Unconventional Accounting Hires I placed someone a few years ago who would have been passed over by most recruiters. She took six years to finish her bachelor’s degree because she was working full-time and raising a family. She didn’t have Big Four experience. She was still working on getting CPA-eligible when I submitted her resume. On paper, she wasn’t the obvious choice. Three years later, she’s thriving in a senior accounting role, and the company hired a second person from me based on how well that first placement worked out. That doesn’t happen when you just got lucky with a resume. […]
- [The Talent War Nobody Saw Coming: What Big Corporate Relocations Mean for DFW Accounting Hiring](https://mamrecruiting.com/dallas-relocation-accounting-talent/): Dozens of major corporations have relocated to Dallas. Here\'s what it means for the accounting talent pool — and why local employers are feeling the squeeze.
- [Accounting Leadership: The Top Interview Question](https://mamrecruiting.com/accounting-leadership-interview-question/): Leaders who ask for feedback are rated in the 86th percentile for effectiveness. Here\'s the one interview question that reveals whether your next accounting hire actually leads — or just manages.
- [AI Resume Screening: Why Your Formatting Is Failing You](https://mamrecruiting.com/ai-resume-screening-tips/): AI resume screening is rejecting qualified finance and accounting candidates before a human ever sees them. Learn how to optimize your resume for ATS without losing your story.
- [Why Dallas–Fort Worth Remains a Magnet for Top Accounting Talent](https://mamrecruiting.com/dallas-accounting-market/): DFW has become a destination of choice for CPAs, controllers, and finance leaders. Here\'s why top accounting talent continues to choose North Texas.

- [Blog](https://mamrecruiting.com/blog/): I’ve been placing accounting professionals in Dallas and Fort Worth for over 20 years. In that time, I’ve watched the market shift in ways I didn’t always see coming. But what’s happened in the last several years — the wave of major corporate relocations into DFW — is reshaping the talent landscape in ways that a lot of local employers haven’t fully reckoned with yet. You already know the names. Toyota. Charles Schwab. McKesson. Goldman Sachs. Oracle. CBRE. Caterpillar. Hewlett Packard Enterprise. These aren’t small operations setting up a satellite office. These are full headquarters relocations, and they brought their finance […]
