Benchmark Search Information

Hiring someone is one thing. Hiring someone who stays, performs and grows is the Benchmark. 97% of our placements are retained after one year, and 22% have been promoted within 3 years. Benchmark Search helps high-growth and middle-market companies across North Texas hire proven Accounting and Finance talent faster, with less risk and stronger long-term retention. Founded by a CPA and former Big 4 accountant, Benchmark was built by finance professionals who understand the roles we recruit for, the expectations behind them and the cost of getting a critical hire wrong. We work primarily with privately held, family-owned, founder-led and private equity-backed companies that are growing, changing or strengthening their finance organizations. We typically help companies: • Fill Controller and finance leadership gaps • Build succession plans • Add depth beneath existing leadership • Scale teams during growth • Upgrade key positions • Find specialized talent that is difficult to recruit • Provide interim coverage when needed What makes Benchmark different: • Time-to-fill reduced by up to 60% • Passive, proven performers, not just active applicants • Long-term fit evaluated beyond the résumé • Accounting expertise from people who have worked in the industry • Relationships built before a search begins Our results: • 97% retained after 1 year • 76% retained after 2 years • 64% retained after 3 years • 22% promoted within 36 months Core searches include CFO, VP Finance, Controller, Assistant Controller, Accounting Manager and Senior Accountant. We believe a successful search is not measured by whether someone accepts an offer. It is measured by whether they perform, stay and grow with the organization. People are more than their titles. Companies are more than their balance sheets.
