Companies
JM&A's experience dictates that we can not be all things to all potential clients. Therefore JM&A has limited, geographically, its client base. JM&A's clients are typically any small to medium size local CPA firms and private employers located in the San Fernando Valley, Downtown Los Angeles, West Los Angeles, San Gabriel Valley, Canyon Country and surrounding areas. Today, gas and travel time to and from work are critical factors in whether a candidate will consider a career opportunity. JM&A carefully selected these areas because large numbers of CPAs live in these communities. Over the past several years JM&A has painstakingly developed a list of candidates in these areas that is second to none.
Candidates
JM&A specializes in placing CPAs or people who have demonstrated the ability and the passion to be a CPA. A typical JM&A candidate has three to ten years experience working in public accounting. They usually had a balance of Tax and Audit experience. Many have had business management experience. Those in private industry either have prior public accounting experience or have met the "G" track requirements as required by the California Board of Accountancy.
The candidates vary from experiences bookkeepers to tax accountants, auditors, supervisors, managers and partners. JM&A has a nitch specialty of placing forensic accountants and valuations analysts.
Unfortunately we do not place clerks, general ledger and cost accountants. We believe there are other firms that handle that level of candidate quite well.
Jackson McCarthy & Associates recruit candidates based on a rigid set of criteria including: education, professional experience, personality, location and flexibility. We work with candidates who are professionals, know what they want to achieve and appreciate the contribution we as recruiters make to their careers.

Consulting
Partner / Employee Search
JM&A specializes in recruiting quality CPA candidates throughout the Los Angeles basin. JM&A's secret is to keep in regular contact with the thousands of highly qualified CPAs and anticipating when they are ready to move. JM&A eliminates all conflicts with your recruiting effort because we do not advertise on job boards. JM&A only represents CPAs and CPA candidates. Please us for more information.
Change / Succession Management:
The greatest challenge facing all small to medium size CPA firms is the retirement of the key partner and the dilemma of how to provide for the continuation of the business. The retiring partner owes it to his remaining partners, managers and staff to make sure the firm remains a viable and dynamic business enterprise. JM&A has the people and the tools to help you assess your organization's goals, strengths and weaknesses and plan for the future. Please us for more information.
Employee retention:
The high costs of employee turnover can determine whether or not your firm makes a profit. After paying a search fee, lost productivity when the employee leaves and a new employee is trained and the potential loss of other over-worked employees, the average cost of replacing a candidate is 1.75 times the employee's base compensation. JM&A will work with you to help identify the major and not so obvious reasons your employees might consider leaving. We use employee satisfaction tools to assess why your employees are dissatisfied and how to effectively eliminate the issue. Please us for more information.
