Andrew Farr Associates was established in 2005 by an exclusive team of successful and experienced recruiters operating in the accountancy recruitment market. The sole purpose of the company was and remains to deliver a level of service which is beyond reproach in the supply of qualified accountancy and finance professionals.

Within 5 months of opening the first office in Birmingham, a second was opened in Windsor. A month later, and having been trading for just 6 months, Andrew Farr Associates purchased Select Accountancy (a specialist public sector and non-qualified accountancy brand) to create the Andrew Farr Associates group. Within 2 years Andrew Farr Associates had grown by over 600% to create a national network of accountancy recruitment offices, and our aim is to continue this growth.

We achieved this through sticking to a simple principle and which remains our single undertaking to anyone using our service: We stand by our word – anything less and we have let ourselves, our clients and our candidates down. It’s a simple and honest philosophy, one that we know is sadly lacking elsewhere.

We also employ a full back office function covering marketing, HR, IT, training, facilities, compliance and research. Our Consultants are also selected on the basis of having the local knowledge and industry know how to deliver the service levels employers demand and candidates have the right to expect. Together the Andrew Farr Associates team are able to offer a level of service which is beyond reproach.

In 2007 the Andrew Farr Associates group became the first national accountancy recruitment consultancy to achieve the REC Diversity Assurance Accreditation.
