Trying to Hire Finance and Accounting Talent in 2026?

Compensation benchmarks tell you what to offer. Finding the right person is a different challenge — and one that requires more than a competitive salary range.

Clarity is a recruitment firm specializing in Finance, Accounting, Operations, Human Resources and IT working with PE-backed, private, and high-growth companies across Toronto, Vancouver, and Calgary. We run permanent searches, interim placements, and contract engagements for roles at every level of the finance function — from staff accountants to CFOs.

In 2026, the market is shifting. In-office expectations are climbing, demand for CPAs with hands-on systems experience is stronger than ever, and compensation has risen across nearly every level of the finance function. Companies are competing harder for a smaller pool of qualified candidates — and the difference between a good offer and the right hire is rarely just the number.
