Permanent Placement: Recruiting Services for Full-time Accounting Roles in San Antonio & Beyond
Finding the right permanent hire is hard
How are you supposed to know from a resume alone if a candidate really understands the work?
If you’ve been burned by bad hires, MGR help solve that problem for you by putting CPAs and accountants (not generalist recruiters) in charge of your hiring search.
We recruit and screen candidates for full-time roles across the accounting org chart, from staff accountant through controller and CFO.
And because we understand the discipline we’re staffing for, we catch things a typical recruiter would miss: whether someone’s month-end close experience is real, whether their GAAP knowledge is current, and whether they’re ready for the scope of the role you’re filling.
What's included in permanent placement services?
Our permanent placement services cover the full breadth of finding you the right candidate for a role, including:
- Search and sourcing — active outreach to passive candidates, not just job-board applicants
- Technical screening — accounting-literate evaluation of skills, not keyword matching
- Reference and background verification
- Compensation benchmarking for the San Antonio market and beyond
- Interview coordination and offer support
How It Works
1. Tell us the role
Title, department, must-haves, and what’s made this position hard to fill. Give us all the details so we can find the perfect candidate.
2. We source & screen
You find and filter candidates to create a short list of candidates for the role who are actually qualified.
3. You interview and hire
The final decision is yours. We’ll coordinate logistics and stay involved throughout the offer and until the new hire starts.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of roles can you help place or hire for?
We help businesses hire incredible candidates across a wide variety of roles. While we specialize in. accounting and finance roles — including CFOs, Controllers, Accounting Managers, Senior Accountants, Staff Accountants, Bookkeepers, and Accounting Clerks — we also regularly help businesses hire for HR, supply chain, and financial analyst roles too.
What areas do you serve?
We’re a remote company, but most of our team is located in the San Antonio area. We place permanent accounting talent for businesses throughout San Antonio, Schertz, New Braunfels, and Boerne. We also consistently work with clients across other major cities in Texas and across the United States.
How long does a permanent placement search typically take?
This can vary a lot depending on the role you’re hiring for. A more senior role — like a CFO or VP — can take longer, whereas the hiring timeline for a role like a bookkeeper can be significantly shorter. On average, most roles can be filled within 4-6 weeks.
If you need someone urgently, our temporary accounting staffing service might help!
Do you only place accounting roles?
Accounting and finance are our core focus, but we also handle permanent placements in HR, supply chain, and financial analysis for clients who need it. Just tell us what you’re looking for, and we’ll give you an honest assessment of whether it’s something we can recruit for well.
What's the difference between MGR and a general staffing agency?
General staffing agencies screen resumes. They see a lot of roles and applicants, but they don’t know those roles in depth. Our recruiters have accounting and finance backgrounds themselves, so we can evaluate whether a candidate’s technical experience actually matches what the role you’re hiring for requires.
That means faster hiring timelines, less low-quality interviews, and ultimately better hires for your business.
