Accounting · Finance · HR · Administrative
Boutique accounting, finance, HR and administrative staffing across Massachusetts and New Hampshire. You work with a recruiter who knows this market personally.
Open roles
Every role here is one we are actively working for a client. If none of them fit, send us your resume anyway — most of the people we place were talking to us before their job existed.
No open roles in this category right now — send us your resume and we will match you against new ones as they open.
For employers
Not an account manager, and not a portal. Paul Brennan takes your brief, a recruiter who works your market finds and screens the people, and once one is in front of you Paul handles you and the candidate himself, through to the offer.
Why Brennan
There are many firms offering staffing solutions. Here is what you get with us that you do not get by posting a job and waiting.
We screen every candidate before you ever see them: a real interview, references checked, and background research done. You get a short list, not a stack.
Some seats cannot stay empty, and a candidate mid-search cannot wait either. We move at the speed the situation actually needs and tell you honestly what that will be.
Thirty years of accounting and finance relationships across New England. Most of the people we place were not answering job ads — they were answering us.
One point of contact who knows your business, not a rotating account team. You will always know who to call and what is happening.
Our recruiters have spent careers in this market, several of them in finance organizations themselves. We speak your language because we have worked in it.
Since 1994
Software can sort resumes. It cannot tell you that a controller is ready for a step up, or that a candidate will not make that commute twice. That part is still a phone call.
Who you are actually calling
Paul has been placing accounting and finance professionals in New England since 1995. Over a twenty-five-year career at Stone Staffing he was instrumental in the firm placing more than 3,000 positions, and in 2020 he acquired it.

Brennan found us a controller in under a month after two other agencies spent four months on it. The difference was that they actually pushed back on our job description instead of just sending resumes.
CFO, manufacturing client
I have worked with a lot of recruiters and most of them disappear once you are placed. My recruiter here called me three months into the job to see how it was going. That tells you something.
Senior Accountant, placed 2025
They told me one of their own candidates was not right for the role. I have never had an agency do that. It is the reason they get every search we run now.
VP Finance, professional services
Available now
People we have met, screened and would stake our name on. No names and no employers — several of them are working and looking quietly. Ask about anyone here and a recruiter will call you to talk through the fit before any introduction is made.

For candidates
