Call Marc McRoberts: 262-893-1523 | marc@mdmrecruitingllc.com
You have a finance seat open and it is costing you every week it stays that way. The close runs late. Reports slip. You are doing work that belongs to someone you have not hired yet. And the last thing you need is another contingency agency dumping twenty resumes in your inbox, none of which fit.
I do one thing. I place finance and accounting professionals at small and mid-size companies in the Madison area, and I have done it for 15 years. I am Marc McRoberts. I run MDM Recruiting. When you call me about a controller opening in Middleton or a CFO search in Fitchburg, you get one person who knows the local finance talent pool and brings you a short list worth your time, not a stack you have to sort through yourself.
The roles I fill
I recruit for the people who own your numbers, from the leadership seat down to the close:
- Chief Financial Officer (CFO)
- VP of Finance
- Controller and Assistant Controller
- Accounting Manager
- FP&A and Financial Analyst
- Senior and Staff Accountant
Whether you need a CFO who can sit at the leadership table and talk to your board, or a senior accountant who can carry month-end without hand-holding, I have filled that seat before at a company that looks like yours.
Fifteen years in one lane
I am not a generalist who fills a finance role one week and a sales role the next. Finance and accounting is the only thing I recruit for, and I have spent 15 years building a network of controllers, analysts, and finance leaders across south-central Wisconsin. That is the difference between a recruiter who has to go learn your role and one who already knows the three or four people in this market who could actually do it.
It also means I can tell the difference between a candidate who looks good on paper and one who will survive your close, your systems, and your leadership team. I have interviewed enough accountants to know which questions separate the two. That judgment is what you are hiring me for.
Built for Madison mid-size companies
Madison runs on a mix of mid-size companies, from manufacturers and their suppliers to healthcare, insurance, and technology firms. That is exactly the finance talent I know best. Most of my searches are for companies with 50 to 200 employees, where the controller wears four hats and the next hire has to be right the first time because there is no bench.
My deepest experience is in manufacturing and manufacturing services and in financial services, though I place across every industry. If you run a manufacturer in Sun Prairie that needs a cost accountant who actually understands standard costing and inventory, or a financial services firm near the Capitol that needs an FP&A analyst who can build a real forecast, that is my wheelhouse. I know what those roles demand in this market and I know who can do them.
What working with me is actually like
You get one point of contact: me. I do the intake call, the sourcing, the screening, and the reference work myself. Nothing gets handed to a junior recruiter who has never filled a finance role. Before I send you anyone, I have talked to them about your company, your systems, and the specific problem you are trying to solve, so the people you interview already know why the seat is open and want it.
Most of my searches are filled in three to four weeks. Not because I rush, but because I am not starting from zero. I already know a good share of the qualified candidates in this market, so the search starts with a real list instead of a job board post and a wait.
If you have been burned by a contingency agency before, here is the difference in plain terms: I would rather send you three people who fit than thirty who do not. Volume is easy. A short list you can trust is the hard part, and it is the only part that saves you time.
The kind of hire this matters for
A wrong finance hire is expensive in a way most hires are not. A controller who cannot close, a CFO who cannot forecast, an analyst who cannot be trusted with the model — you feel those mistakes in your numbers, your board meetings, and your own workload. That is why it is worth spending twenty minutes with someone who fills these roles for a living before you post the job and hope.
Have an open finance role? Let’s talk about it.
Tell me about one seat you are trying to fill — the role, the company, and what is making it hard. No pitch, no long process. Just a short call about whether I can help fill it faster than you can on your own.
