What is the best way to hire an internal CPA for a small business?
We are a small business that provides financial services and have a need for a CPA but been having trouble finding one. Where do resources should I use to find one?
There are lots of recruitment agencies that might be able to help you - per the first answerer.

I have no connection or receive any commission from them. I think they "specialise" in looking after small businesses. (I think)
I think recruitment is a tricky process. Have you been trying to advertise? Maybe the job is not described properly in the ad? That could be a turn off. Maybe the job ad is too vague. Different accountants have different skills and specialisations - if it's too vague I personally would just move on to the next ad, rather than trying to figure out what that vague ad is trying to say.
If you don't know whether the job is too vague or not - yeah - maybe a recruitment agent can help. Maybe. It's probably best to use the agent that someone else that you know have previously used.

Try going through Robert Half, International. They are an employment agency specializing in Accounting and other financial jobs. They provide services to both businesses (by screening employees), and to potential employees (by matching to potential employers).

I myself have been looking at Accounting job ads for the last few months. I am looking but nothing really grabs me. I went for a couple of job interviews, but the descriptions in the ad were so different from what they described and expected once I sat down with them. I am scared I am just jumping into an exactly same situation that I am in now…
