The announcement follows a strong performance in 2013.  "TaxScout's strong and steady growth is really a testament to the dedication of our recruiters to match every tax professional with a long-term, lasting fit," says Rick Kelo the firm's CEO.  "At TaxScout we focus on building world-class tax departments.  Atlanta was a natural area to expand our tax recruiting practice because of the high concentration of corporate tax departments.  We see in Atlanta the same opportunity we saw in our expansion 2 years ago into Houston: a tax community that will benefit from access to a recruiting firm that understands tax specific issues combined with a unique focus on serving the Atlanta tax community," he notes.

Kelo believes TaxScout is well positioned to continue growing faster than its major competitors.  "Unlike local general accounting and finance search firms who dabble in tax searches from time to time, tax is all that we do."  Although there are only a few boutique tax recruiting firms in the nation Kelo also notes that, "Our competitors are equal in size to TaxScout, but try to recruit everywhere nationwide.  This is a very industry-standard business model, but insiders in the recruiting industry also know that this watered down approach is all show, no substance.  Even in 20 years I could never get to know every tax professional in the nation.  That is why TaxScout specializes in only a few select geographies where we develop detailed knowledge of the players and companies in that city.  That is how we approach tax recruiting at our corporate headquarters in Chicago.  It's also how we built our tax recruiting practice in Houston, and our new Atlanta tax recruiting practice brings the same local area specialization."
