LaSalle Network

Aubrey, a CPA, was an audit associate at a Big Four firm in Chicago before she found herself back on the market during the 2009 recession. Aubrey came to LaSalle looking for a staff accountant opportunity near her newly purchased home in the western suburbs. After learning more about Aubrey’s experience and career aspirations, LaSalle presented her for several audit and staff accountant opportunities. Aubrey did not want to compromise her ideal career, commute time and salary simply to start working again, and LaSalle was determined to find Aubrey that perfect fit.

An international healthcare client of LaSalle Network was looking for a senior staff accountant to handle financial statement preparation, budgets and reporting. With robust sales targets and more than 60,000 employees worldwide, this healthcare giant was ready to move quickly for the right candidate. This opportunity would provide Aubrey with an ideal commute, salary and the career progression into staff accounting for which she was searching. Our client offered Aubrey the senior staff accountant opportunity; she accepted, and her transition from public to corporate accounting went smoothly.
