The Boyce Cunnane approach to tax recruiting rests on a three-fold foundation: partnership, experience, and integrity.

Boyce Cunnane, Inc., establishes and cultivates close and productive relationships with our clients. We work hard to understand them: their environments, their goals, their unique characteristics and demands, their potential. Our ability, and our desire, to work closely with our clients allows us to conduct searches defined by their specific needs. In these relationships, we find the best solution-and the right solution-for all parties involved.

There is no magic in recruiting; our tax searches succeed on the basis of preparation, commitment, and the knowledge drawn from almost twenty years of tax recruiting experience. We update our extensive databases of tax professionals from a variety of sources to add details, to track preferences and performances, and to follow careers. From these records, we network, source, hunt, and probe, relying on years of tax experience and on strategies determined by the needs of our clients. We have the capacity, the experience, and the commitment to identify the best matches from a universe of possibilities.

Recruiting affects people's lives, careers, families, futures. Our clients deserve professionalism, confidentiality, and respect. Boyce Cunnane, Inc., does not take this commitment lightly. We have confidence in our ability to identify talented candidates, in any market for any position. We work with our clients and for our clients; we need not, and we do not, apply the high pressure that has come to pervade the recruiting community. Boyce Cunnane, Inc., acts professionally, discretely, and with integrity; our work and our clients are too important not to do so.

Boyce Cunnane, Inc., achieves its greatest success when it forms partnerships with its clients. We establish and cultivate a productive consultative relationship and work together to identify the best solution.

We tailor our recruiting effort to each client and we develop a thorough recruiting plan for each search.
We gain an understanding for the technical skills, management experience, educational background, and personal characteristics that each client seeks.
We search for scarce talent in an increasingly difficult market. We carefully review our extensive database of tax professionals, and we conduct original research into the target market, to identify possibilities. Occasionally, our experience allows us to know exactly who to call, but we are prepared to undertake the rigorous search for the ideal candidate that today's market often demands.
We interview prospective clients thoroughly, detail their professional and technical experience, and evaluate their candidacy and ability to fit the needs of our client.
Assisting throughout the recruiting process, we advise on effective interviewing and on issues of compensation.
We verify professional and educational credentials and check references.
We bring candidates through the difficult process of counter-offer and deliver them to our client.
We maintain our relationship with our candidates after their hiring to insure our clients an effective transition.

By working closely together throughout the recruiting process, we understand what our clients seek in tax professionals, and we know how to find those who satisfy those demands. We recognize the strengths and weaknesses of different tax opportunities, and we know how to present yours in the most favorable light.

Contact us immediately if you are ready to begin a retained search, if you would like to explore the possibilities of an active search for key tax professionals, or if you would simply like your firm's needs recorded in our extensive tax recruiting databases for future referrals.

Boyce Cunnane, Inc., operates primarily on a retained-search basis. We have, however, worked on behalf of individual tax professionals. Few opportunities exist for tax professionals interested in making career changes discreetly and confidentially. We provide that service, with the same commitment that we give to our corporate clients. We guarantee confidentiality to each of our candidates; we will not identify, nor cause them to be identified, without their express permission.

Our efforts with individuals are as thorough as our efforts with companies:

We gain an understanding of the candidate's technical skills, professional experience, and personal goals and aspirations. We help each candidate to define realistic goals that fit with today's tax marketplace.
We construct a marketing plan-a "reverse search"-in which we make full use of our contacts and knowledge of the market to locate the candidate's desired position.
Almost twenty years of tax recruiting experience has taught us which firms to contact and how to contact them. Sometimes, we know immediately of a likely match or of a position that has not yet entered the market. Other times, we rely more strictly on our specialized marketing plan.
Boyce Cunnane, Inc., is committed to integrity and will communicate honestly with each candidate in every situation.
We assist the candidate throughout the interviewing process.
We maintain our partnership through the difficult process of resigning and through the candidate's transition to the new position.
