“I felt like I could actually be a partner again. It was a huge bailout for us—we’ve caught up on a mountain of backlogged projects, and we’re bringing back our team morale, which is perhaps our best victory.”
Linda Smith Managing Partner | Smith, Sullivan & Brown
“Our relationship with Paro has truly been a catalyst for the success our firm has experienced in the audit industry! Our management was able to focus on true business development and outsource technical review to Paro’s high level professionals that were hand selected for our needs. Cannot recommend this company enough!”
Chloe Humphrey Paro Client
“Our firm has greatly benefited from our partnership with Paro. They helped us quickly secure great talent and have “walked” with us through onboarding and management of those team members. Paro’s services go beyond recruiting and outsourcing. They are a full talent management partner that knows and understands our firm. We look forward to a continued partnership with them.”
Shirlene Small Paro Client
“We are a small accounting firm working with real estate investors and rely on seasonal help to help keep our staff sane during tax season. We’ve brought several different people on for different reasons and different times and it was always very easy from getting potential expert’s profiles, to scheduling interviews and getting statements of work generated. Customer service is top notch.”
Lloyd Ippolito Paro Client
