FinanceStaff was founded in 1999 to
bring a career-oriented focus to recruiting services
in finance and accounting. With her background
in career and educational counseling, founder Linda

decisions about their career and hiring choices.
In 2001, FinanceStaff moved into the landmark Rotunda

places the company in the center of the Bay Area
business community. Easily accessible via freeway or
BART, FinanceStaff works with companies and candidates
throughout the Bay Area.
