Recruiters Who Have Closed The Books

We Speak Finance Before We Speak Recruiting

Lindqvist was founded in 2011 by a former audit manager and a corporate controller who wanted finance hiring to be run by people who understood the work. Most of our recruiters hold a CPA, CMA or CFA, and every candidate is interviewed on the technical detail of their role — reconciliations, consolidations, forecasting, controls — before you see their name.

We recruit for Charlotte's banks, corporate headquarters and CPA firms, from Uptown to Ballantyne and across the state line.

  • Recruiters with CPA, CMA and CFA credentials
  • Technical interviews before every submission
  • Confidential searches for senior finance roles
  • Salary benchmarking for Charlotte finance roles

Client & Candidate Reviews

Trusted By Charlotte Finance Teams

Our controller resigned two weeks before year-end. Lindqvist had an interim CPA in the seat in four days and ran the permanent search in parallel — we kept both.
Gregory AshworthCFO · Manufacturer in Ballantyne
They understood the difference between FP&A and accounting on the first call, which is more than most recruiters manage. Every candidate could actually build a model.
Denise HarringtonVP of Finance · Healthcare company in SouthPark
I wanted out of public accounting without taking a pay cut. My recruiter was a former auditor and knew exactly which companies would value my Big Four experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do your fees work?

Permanent placements carry a one-time fee based on first-year salary, charged only when your new hire starts. Interim and contract staff are billed hourly, including their pay, payroll taxes and insurance.

How quickly can you place interim staff?

Most interim accountants and analysts start within a week. For year-end and audit season, book two to three weeks ahead.

Do you run confidential searches?

Yes. Controller and CFO searches are usually run without a public posting, with candidates approached directly and your company named only when you agree.

Which areas do you cover?

Greater Charlotte — Uptown, SouthPark, Ballantyne, University City and across the line into Rock Hill and Fort Mill.

Do candidates pay anything?

Never. Our clients pay our fees. Registering and being placed through Lindqvist is free for candidates.

Will you send my résumé without asking?

No. We only submit you to a specific role after you've agreed to it.
