Our success is measured by the success of our clients that range from Fortune 500 to start-up companies and all small to mid-sized companies in between. This is accomplished through our relentless pursuit to establish, build, and maintain professional relationships with top-talent to join your team when the need arises to add new talent to your team that aligns with being the right opportunity for the right professional.

We have developed an efficient and effective process to evaluate candidates that are ready to advance their career for the right opportunity. Unlike others organizations in our industry, our entire team are accounting/finance professionals who now utilizes our direct accounting/finance experiences and expertise to help others in our profession. This ensures the utmost level of professionalism, an effective interview process before presenting any candidates to you, and assurance that your needs are our priority.

I’ve had the great opportunity to partner with Ryan for the past 5 years on a number of important hires into our organization.  In partnering with Ryan, we’ve been able to collaborate on identifying highly successful professionals with the talent and skill-set to be difference makers in our team while also possessing the intangibles to thrive in and positively influence our organization’s culture.  Whether its a partner working through a hiring process, or a trusted resource to simply remain in contact with and exchange ideas and insights, I have the highest level of trust in my working relationship with Ryan and look forward to continuing that partnership.

Director, Financial Reporting & Accounting – Fortune 500 Publicly Traded Global Company

Assurance?

Our business model has been developed by our founder through over 12 years of experience in the accounting/finance staffing industry on top of 10 years of direct experiences in both Big 4 public accounting and corporate accounting.

In developing an expertise in our industry and through experiences during the past 12+ years starting off working for another staffing firm then co-founding a firm that he built from the ground up then sold in the Fall 2018, key attributes have been identified, learned, and addressed in creating Apogee Resources Group (ARG).

One such key attribute of assurance that you need to ask and know before engaging any external staffing firm is whether or not their entire internal team that will service your needs have direct accounting/finance backgrounds both in earning a Bachelor’s degree with a Business major along with at least several years of direct accounting/finance experience working in public accounting and/or corporate accounting.

If the answer is “no”, then here is what you need to know that they won’t tell you. Their business model is a “sales” model where their internal team has metrics and quotas that are their primary focus. This is a major “red flag” as to whose best interest do they have in mind. If you want to trust your hiring needs to a staffing agency whose focus is to hit a metric to collect a finders fee for slinging resumes at you, then as a professional services firm we are not for you.

In our view, such a sales business model is unacceptable for many reasons. Especially because we are trusted with peoples’ careers and livelihoods in our profession.

Ryan Giblock and I connected on an opportunity that resulted in my first CFO position. Ryan was instrumental in working with me through the process and was always available to discuss any questions or concerns I had along the way. Since our initial business interactions, Ryan Giblock has become not only a trusted resource and advisor, but also a good friend. Ryan is a person of high integrity, authenticity and honesty. I would strongly recommend Ryan as a trustworthy advisor.
