Prospect Recruiting specializes exclusively in Accounting, Finance, Tax, HR, and Operations search for Phoenix-area companies. When the seat matters, you need a recruiter who knows the difference between available and right.
We don't recruit for every function in every industry. We focus exclusively on the roles that drive financial and operational health — and we know this talent market better than anyone in Phoenix.
Staff Accountants through Controllers and Chief Accounting Officers. Public, private, and nonprofit.
Financial Analysts, FP&A Managers, Directors of Finance, VP Finance, and CFOs for growth-stage to enterprise companies.
Corporate Tax roles from Senior Tax Accountant to Director of Tax and VP of Tax for public and private companies.
HR Generalists, HR Business Partners, HR Managers, Directors of HR, and CHROs for companies navigating growth and change.
Operations Managers, Directors of Operations, and COOs for companies that need people who make things actually work.
Finance and compliance professionals for banks, wealth management firms, insurance carriers, and financial advisory practices.
Aaron Wiese founded Prospect Recruiting in 2020 after 14 years recruiting exclusively in the Phoenix market. Not a generalist. Not a franchise. A firm that knows which companies are growing, which leaders are open to conversations, and what it takes to make the right match.
The best accounting and finance talent is employed. We build relationships before roles open — so when you call, we already know who to call.
We don't send you 20 resumes and hope one lands. We send 3–5 carefully vetted candidates who are right for your role, your culture, and your team.
An open Controller or HR Director seat costs more every week. Our average time from kickoff to qualified shortlist is 34 days.
By the Numbers
Results that speak
for themselves — and stick.
"We don't measure success by the number of resumes we send. We measure it by whether the person is still there two years later."
— Aaron Wiese, Founder
The best way to judge a recruiter is by talking to the people they've placed. Here's what a few of them said.
Aaron is one of the best in the business. I've worked with him many times over the past five years, and what stands out most is how direct, honest, and reliable he is. He tells it to you straight, follows through on what he says, and operates with a level of integrity that is hard to find. What makes Aaron especially effective is that he understands both sides. He helps candidates find opportunities that truly fit, and he helps companies identify people who are not only qualified but aligned with the role and the organization. I would highly recommend Aaron to anyone looking for their next opportunity, or any company looking for a trusted recruiting partner.
Aaron is one of the best recruiters I have worked with — the experience with him went far beyond just a job search. Aaron really took the time to sit down and talk with me and understand what my goals were in my career and help me determine the best way to reach them. He is someone I hope to keep in touch with as I continue in my career and someone I will certainly reach out to when I have a need. I highly recommend working with Aaron if you are looking to make a change from your current position or even if you are just looking for some honest and well-meaning career advice!
Aaron was the best recruiter I've ever worked with. It was a completely different experience than any other recruiter I had worked with in the past. Aaron was far more concerned with finding me the perfect career fit than worrying about how it would affect him or his firm. Working with a recruiter that puts the candidate first is what makes Aaron different. A lot of recruiters say they do this, but few actually do. The job I ultimately accepted wasn't using a recruiting firm, but Aaron knew it was a perfect career fit for me. He gave me guidance for my interviews as we talked a few dozen times during the short interview process. I would recommend Aaron and Prospect Recruiting to anyone.
From first call to accepted offer — here's what working with Prospect Recruiting looks like, and why it works.
We spend real time understanding your role, team, culture, and what's made past hires succeed or fail. The search only works if we understand what you actually need.
We reach out to our Phoenix-market network, including people not on job boards. Our outreach is direct, professional, and specific to the opportunity.
Every candidate we present has been interviewed by Aaron personally. We evaluate fit, motivation, technical ability, and long-term trajectory — not just resume keywords.
You receive 3–5 pre-vetted, interview-ready candidates. No filler. No wasted time. Average time from kickoff to shortlist: 34 days.
We manage the offer process, navigate counteroffers, and stay involved through start date to ensure a smooth transition for both sides.
Whether you're staffing a critical hire or exploring your next career move, we'd rather talk first and send a form later.
