    After more than two years in public accounting as a member of the audit team at BKD, LLP (now FORVIS), Austin shifted his career to a position that blends his accounting and business experience with his passion to deliver solutions that have a positive impact for others. At Hemphill Search Group, Austin helps leaders hire impressive individuals at all levels of accounting, finance, tax, audit, financial reporting, financial systems, fixed assets, budgeting, forecasting, bookkeeping, accounts payable, accounts receivable, billing, and payroll.

    While in public accounting, Austin audited small, mid-sized, and large corporations in a variety of industries.  His experience in public accounting combined with the discipline to gain an in-depth understanding of the position being filled, the skills, experience, and personality needed to be successful and happy in the position and company is a secret to his success.  Austin is passionate about finding the “the right match - the first time” and shared: “This is important work, and I really enjoy placing an individual into a position where I know they will be successful and genuinely happy while adding value to our client and their new team of co-workers.”  

    Austin spends 100% his time helping leaders hire high quality individuals well matched for success and happiness. Helping a leader hire a high performing individual makes a very positive impact for the leader, the team of co-workers, and the person we placed!  Austin shared: “It is incredibly rewarding to call the person we placed 6, 9, and 12 months later to hear they are having a lot of success, proud of their contribution to the company, and hearing they are having fun and truly happy in the position, company, and culture we helped them identify.”
