Hello!
I’m Phyllis
I am the founder of ProConnect Consulting Group, an industry-leading talent placement and mergers & acquisitions organization serving the CPA industry and other professional services firms.
My approach
I am deeply entrenched in the accounting industry. A practicing CPA and business advisor, I am also a professional mentor and have been part of entrepreneurial teams innovating technology solutions for CPA firms.
As a talent specialist, I am noted for my deep intuition and innate ability to place senior candidates who are a natural fit not only for a firm’s technical requirements, but also its culture. My ability to perceive the attributes that constitute a successful placement is intrinsic to my track record of delivering candidates supremely well-suited to a firm’s needs.
My signature personal engagement and easy approachability have made me a go-to for CPA firms challenged to fill strategic positions in today’s shrinking talent pool and highly competitive hiring environment. My loyal, longstanding relationships across the industry are a testament to my track record of helping firms solve their most pressing talent acquisition issues, and of securing rewarding career placements for talented candidates.
I also have leveraged my years of experience and intimate understanding of the accounting business to identify promising matches for mergers and acquisitions, as well as to provide informed and sensitive practice management guidance using progressive solutions. Whether for growth strategies or succession planning, as in all aspects of my service to the accounting industry, I am trusted by CPAs to help them think through how to position themselves and their firms for success.
A dedicated mentor and accounting enthusiast, I am also an adjunct professor and advisor to accounting students at Hunter College, City University of New York, where I help students prepare for successful careers in accounting.
