Client Testimonials

"I really appreciate your efforts, am very impressed with your work and look forward to working with you in theNew Year"

Kasia Tomczyk - Director - UBS

"I was really happy with the service I received from noth Jim and Alison at Pro-Tax. I  initially met Jim who interviewed me and it was Alison who provided me with the opportunity to meet Ernst & Young. Alison gave me useful information before each meeting and provided informative feedback at every stage. I had 4 meetings with Ernst & Young so the momentum and communication was key in keeping things moving along. Alison was available to speak out of business hours which was key for me as I was very busy at work. In fact, I remember speaking to her at 9pm after getting off a long flight when she delivered the job offer to me. Overall the process was smooth and I would highly recommend Pro-Tax to any colleagues of friends of mine looking for a new role."

James Egert - Director, Tax Performance Advisory - Ernst & Young

A credit to a reputable recruitment consultancy."

Irina Zdravkova

"Charlotte and the team at Pro-Tax were helpful from day one. They listened to what I was looking for and didn't waste my time with job offers that weren't relevant to what I was looking for. The pre-interview chats were a great guidance and confident boost that provided insight into the firm and person interviewing me that was a big part of my success. Charlotte and the team were supportive and there to help throughout the whole process, even after I had the job offer. Any issues or questions that came up were dealt with by Pro-Tax, leaving me with just the one stress of handling my notice in! But even then, Charlotte was on call both before and after and provided me with valuable advice when I was aksed difficult questions by the firm I was leaving.

A Big thank you to Charlotte and Ben for all their help and support, I would recommend both of them to anyone looking to move firms with minimum hassle and maximum support. And did I mention I love my new job?"

Charlotte Graystone - KPMG

"From initial contract I found Pro-Finance extremely helpful, professional and attentive. I found that my personal and professional needs were taken into consideration. The level of service I have received, particularly from Frances ahs been superb, and I would certainly recommend the firm, and come to you for my next career move."

Simon Armstrong - Business Services Assistant Manager at Target

"I worked with Alison this year when she matched me with a role in a boutique firm. I found Alison to be extrememly attentive, and actually took the time to find a role that really did tick all the boxes. Compared to other recruiters I have had limited dealings with in the past, Alison knew the ins and outs of the company structure and the role itself, and so I knew exactly what I was looking at at the interview. Shoulde the need arise I would happily approach Alison again, and would recommend anyone else looking for a role to contact her." - Andrew Rainford

"Frances understood what I was looking for, and did not push any roles that did not suit my search. Each firm selected was carefully considered according to my search parameters. Frances appeared to have a close working knowledge of many of the firms that she suggested. Each role discussed paid particular reference to the culture at the firm and how they would suit my personality. I liked this approach and felt that the search was accoridng to what would suit me, and not what would best suit the consultant. In my opinion Frances was fully aware of all details that the roles sugegsted would require. She communicated these well to me, and allowd me to choose the roles that suited me, and only be put forward for roles that I felt that I could achieve. Her approach was not manic and rushed which made it feel personal. I liked this contrast to other consultants that I had worked with. Her servce was friendly and she gave me very good advice even when her best interest were not at stake. I would recommend her to anyone searching for a finance role." Gary Tiller - Audit Senior

"My experience with Pro-Tax was excellent. They were quick to react to my calls, listened to what I wanted and I always felt fully briefed about the roles and firms I went to see. Feedback was prompt and at every stage I felt in control"

Patricia Cross – ACCO

"Given the choice of recruitment agents available to me when I decided to move jobs it was Pro-Tax that stood out from the rest as they understood my experience and what I was looking for and actually provided me with relevant interviews. The Consultants at Pro-Tax know the tax market and their clients very well and this made the difference."

Michelle McVey – Ernst & Young

"I’m sure I am not alone when I say are too many unethical recruitment agencies in the market or those that seem to employ fresh graduates that simply do not know the tax market and simply just want to send your CV out indiscriminately. Pro-Tax know what they are talking about and the Consultants were experienced, knowledgeable and were on my level from the word go."

Mario Silva – Deloitte (Overseas)

"I would just like to say how impressed I was with Pro-Tax. They've kept me informed every step of the way and made time to call me before both of my interviews to ensure I was fully prepared. When I was offered the role, the salary offered was slightly lower than anticipated so Pro-Tax negotiated a higher salary on my behalf which I very much appreciate. They were very professional and helpful and I always felt I could contact them if I ever had any questions."

Serena Daly – Placed candidate

2011 Scrutton Bland

"I found her to be articulate and dedicated in achieving the best possible result for me. She communicated with me frequently regarding appropriate roles, my expectations, the clients expectations and would also follow up promptly on any matters that needed attention. She fully prepared me for the interview and knew exactly what I wanted in my new role. I would like to thank her for her support and encouragement. I can thoroughly recommend Frances."
