9 Best Accounting Job Boards To Reach the Best Accountants Faster

Hiring accountants is a process most companies struggle with. You need to find candidates that have the proper experience and skill set to match.

Posting on some of the best job boards that cater to a broader audience, such as LinkedIn and Indeed, is always an option but not necessarily a prudent one. While general job boards have the largest user base, you’ll also have to deal with many unqualified candidates trying their luck.

Niche job boards give you access to fewer people, but you can use them to find only candidates from a specific field, such as finance and accounting. We’ve compiled a list of the 9 best accounting job boards you can use to hire experienced accountants at any price point.

#1 Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA)

ACCA is a free-to-use job board for recruiters outside of the United Kingdom—British companies have to pay for the service starting from £495 per month. The job board has over 700,000 members, with an estimated 19,000 of them actively seeking new job opportunities each month. 

While the website offers listings for various finance-related positions, accounting jobs are the most prominent. You can find candidates in all stages of their careers, from students looking for internships to professionals with decades of experience.

The website offers limited branding opportunities, such as featuring your logo on search result pages if you choose a premium listing plan (also free), and it sends out your listing as a job alert to relevant candidates.

With members coming from over 149 different countries, you can use the job board to hire remotely.

#2 eFinancialCareers

eFinancialCareers is arguably the best job board for accounting and finance. It’s an international job board with over 3.7 million annual applications and 1.7 million unique users per month. The website focuses on accounting, finance, tech, and banking job listings.

You can use the platform to promote your company and increase the reach of your job ad by creating sponsored listings, content (articles and banners), as well as social media campaigns and targeted emails.

When you sign up as a recruiter, you’ll get access to the website’s CV database, allowing you to search through CVs and find the perfect candidate for you. The price of posting a job ad is available upon request.

#3 FinancialJobsWeb.com

Dedicated to financial, insurance, and accounting professionals, FinancialJobsWeb.com comes with an applicant tracking system (ATS) and a CV database you can use to find candidates that match your company’s needs. You can search through the database for free, but you’ll need to pay $20 per candidate to see their contact details.

To post a single job ad, you’ll have to pay from $225 to $425, depending on whether you want to enjoy extra features, such as sending email alerts to suitable candidates, being highlighted in search results, and appearing on the website’s home page.

If you plan to hire more employees, you can opt for bundles that allow you to create as many as five postings for up to $1,050 a year.

When you create an account, you’ll be able to make a public company profile.

#4 Accounting Crossing

Accounting Crossing is a niche job board for employers seeking to hire accountants in the United States. It’s part of a job board network, Employment Crossing, that offers various niche job boards.

When you sign up as an employer, you’ll get a 14-day free trial, during which you can use all the benefits without paying. Creating an account will allow you to have from one to 50 active job slots and access up to 1,000 resumes per month, depending on the plan.

The best part is that once you create a job ad, Accounting Crossing will automatically post your ad on 600+ job boards.

Available pricing plans are as follows:

• Recruit—$199 per month
• Professional—$499 per month

Each plan comes with branded email alerts sent to candidates, an easy-to-use applicant management system, and a candidate prescreening option. You can also opt for a resume-search account only, which allows you to go through the platform’s resume database for $450 a month, but you won’t be able to post any job ads. If you seek accounting employees often, you can contact the company for a custom package that will allow you to combine posting job ads with resume searching and integrating an ATS.

#6 Accounting Jobs Today

Accounting Jobs Today is an online job board dedicated to jobseekers from the U.S. While the website looks outdated, thousands of accountants still use it to seek new job opportunities. When you create an account, you can opt for the basic plan of $259 per month, which allows you to post one ad on this job board, as well as their partner websites, including AccountingWEB, SmartPROS, and WebCPA.

As an employer, you can use the website to post job ads for candidates of varying experience, from students to highly experienced candidates. 

While you can post internship and graduate opportunities for free, if you want to post a job ad, it will cost $495 per month or more, depending on what level of experience you want your candidate to have. For example, if you want to reach accounting specialists with years of experience, you’ll need to pay $795 per month.

More expensive plans come with additional benefits, such as access to the CV database, social media exposure, and highlighted ads.

Formerly known as OneWire, Recruiter.com has over 160 million profiles of candidates from the U.S. that you can tap into, and the website has a reach of 180,000+ monthly visitors. While the website offers different positions, it has a dedicated job board for finance jobs, including accounting.

For example, you can get help with recruiting, personalized support during the hiring process, and the choice of application delivery method.

Why It’s Hard To Hire an Accountant

Whenever you try to hire an accountant, the perfect scenario would be to receive only the top applicants and pick and choose which one you like best. That scenario never happens.

With so many job boards available, sourcing candidates is the easy part—finding high-quality ones is a struggle. Job platforms receive thousands of new ads every day, and top performers find the job with ease, leaving job boards with underqualified candidates.

If you want to be the one that hires the best candidate, you need to have a system in place that will enable you to spot high-quality candidates before your competitors do.

The best way to see whether a candidate’s CV and portfolio match their skill set is to introduce pre-hire assessments. If you want to know how good someone actually is at accounting, you’ll need to test them before you hire them and realize they don’t fit the bill after all.

The most experienced hiring experts depend on testing to make the best decisions.
