We build resilient teams for public accounting firms.
Public accounting is demanding. We bring the human element back to the bottom line.At Ridgeline Talent, we look beyond the technicalities of tax and audit to solve the human challenges of public accounting. We are grounded strategists specializing in the placement of top-tier CPAs, tax, and audit professionals.We believe a successful hire requires more than a resume match, it requires the empathy to understand what’s missing and the precision to align a candidate’s long-term goals with a firm’s unique culture. We don’t just fill seats; we build resilient teams and empower professionals to find roles where challenge and sustainable balance actually coexist.Founded by Tim Coil & Mitchell Malkin, Ridgeline Talent is the culmination of a decade of cross-industry recruitment expertise. Having successfully navigated the high-stakes worlds of Engineering, Financial Media, and Technology, Tim recognized a recurring theme: high-level placement requires more than a technical match, it requires deep empathy.After witnessing the burnout statistics that plague Public Accounting, Tim and Mitchell established Ridgeline Talent to provide the 'solid ground' that both firms and professionals deserve.
