Tim Ponnusamy

Co-Founder & Director

After graduating from the University of Melbourne with a Bachelor of Commerce, Tim began his professional career working at two accounting practices in Melbourne including a stint in the Audit division of a National Mid-Tier firm.

Having utilised recruiters as a candidate in the accounting & finance industry prior, Tim was convinced to try his hand at recruitment in 2015 and began his recruitment career with a large national recruitment company before launching a Perth branch for an east coast based professional services accounting recruitment agency in 2017.

Over the past few years, Tim has built up a well-known and respected niche recruiting within the Professional Services accounting market in Perth, using his knowledge of the industry to help candidates grow and develop their careers, and firms identify the right talent for their practices.

Tim recruits at all levels from Intermediate Accountant to Partners and has an expansive network of contacts at Big 4, Mid-Tier and boutique practices in Perth.

Outside of work, Tim is passionate about a range of different sports including cricket, soccer, rugby and basketball and is a big gym fanatic.

Stephen Lawrence

Co-Founder & Director

Stephen has a career spanning a broad cross section of the accounting industry. He did his training and the first 7 years of his career in the Big 8, now Big 4, before becoming a Finance and Admin Manager in commerce and working in the accounting profession in the UK.

On return to Perth Stephen felt a need to take his career in a different direction and use and develop different skills. By chance he was interviewed by a icon in the recruitment industry who trained and developed Stephen into the leading accounting recruiter in the Perth market.

Stephen has spent the last 20+ years building an extensive network and knowledge of the Perth accounting scene and developing an enviable reputation as an honest and genuine recruiter that candidates and clients turn to for help, guidance and advice. Stephen enjoys helping candidates achieve the unachievable and making a difference to all parties involved.

Outside of recruitment Stephen enjoys many past times including sports cars and racing events, going to the gym, dining out and travelling the world.
