Established Finance & Accounting Placement Agency

Description

Staffing and recruiting firm for sale serving employers primarily in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. The business has operated since 2019 and focuses on finance and accounting placements.

Recruiting services

• Direct-hire recruiting
• Contingent searches
• Retained searches
• Finance and accounting positions

Clients include mid-sized and larger employers in private equity, financial services, real estate and nonprofit organizations.

Operations

• Two full-time recruiters
• Leased office with multiple workstations
• Existing client relationships
• Lean operating structure

The current model is focused on permanent placements rather than temporary staffing.

Technology platform

The company recently launched a proprietary subscription-based technology platform designed to provide applicant intelligence to employers.

This product is relatively new, so buyers should review current subscriber count, development costs, intellectual property ownership and actual recurring revenue separately from the staffing business.

Growth

• Expand recruiting into additional geographic markets
• Add temporary or contract staffing
• Increase recruiter headcount
• Develop more retained-search relationships
• Grow the subscription technology platform

Sale structure and transition

The owner is open to a full transaction, partial exit or partnership structure.

Training and ongoing transition support are available.

Due diligence

Buyers should verify historical financials, placement volume, average recruiting fees, retained versus contingent revenue, client concentration, recruiter compensation, accounts receivable, office lease terms, customer contracts and any restrictive covenants before closing.

The proprietary technology platform should also be reviewed separately, including source code ownership, subscriptions, hosting costs, data privacy practices and any third-party software dependencies.
