Specialized Tax Recruiting Firm

Hiring experienced tax professionals requires more than general recruiting expertise. Tax is a specialized discipline driven by regulation and complex technical standards. UNITY Search specializes in Executive, Permanent and Contract tax placements.

Founded by Tax Professionals

Founded by a former Ernst & Young Tax Manager, UNITY Search Tax Group has become a trusted partner for large publicly traded, middle-market and private equity-backed companies seeking tax talent at all levels. The Unity Tax team is one of the largest specialized tax recruiting groups in the U.S. made up of tax recruiters who each focus 100% of their time on locating and establishing relationships with the top tax talent. Majority of these recruiters came from Big 4 or a national tax group including EY, KPMG, PwC, Deloitte, and BKD prior to tax recruiting.

This technical foundation allows us to evaluate candidates beyond resumes — we understand ASC 740, complex tax planning, SALT, international structuring, and complex compliance requirements.

Permanent tax placements from Tax Associate to SVP of Tax
