Placing accounting professionals inside company finance departments — from staff through CFO — across Pittsburgh's corporate and industrial base.
Corporate accounting roles sit at the operational core of every company — and filling them well requires understanding both the technical requirements of the job and the culture of the business. Whether you're a mid-size manufacturer looking for your first Controller, a healthcare system building out its accounting function, or a PE-backed company that needs an experienced CFO, the candidates who can actually do the job are already employed and selective about where they go next.
Tony Priano recruits corporate accounting professionals across Pittsburgh's industrial, healthcare, energy, and services sectors. He works directly with CFOs and finance leaders — not HR intermediaries — to understand what a hire actually needs to accomplish and which candidates are uniquely positioned to deliver it. That includes a particular focus on CPAs making the transition from public accounting into corporate roles, a move Tony has helped dozens of professionals navigate successfully.
From entry-level accounting staff through senior leadership, we recruit across the full corporate finance function.
Three capabilities that matter specifically when recruiting inside corporate finance departments.
Some of the best corporate accounting hires come straight out of public accounting — CPAs with technical rigor, a bias for accuracy, and real appetite for ownership they can't get at a firm. Tony specializes in matching experienced CPA firm professionals with the right corporate opportunity at the right stage of their career, and he knows how to have that conversation credibly.
Senior corporate accounting searches require a different level of process — longer timelines, confidential outreach, and a higher bar for candidate assessment. Tony handles Controller and CFO searches directly, with the discretion and rigor those roles demand. There's no hand-off to a junior associate once the engagement starts.
Corporate accounting requirements vary significantly by industry — cost accounting in manufacturing, fund accounting in financial services, project accounting in construction. Tony understands the nuances of Pittsburgh's dominant sectors and recruits candidates whose background aligns with the specific accounting environment of the role, not just the job title.
Whether you need a staff accountant or a CFO, let's start with a conversation about what the right fit actually looks like for your organization.
