New Company Makes Valuable Match For Accounting Pros and Companies

CHICAGO, IL, November 20, 2012

According to the American Staffing Association index, since the beginning of 2012, temporary and contract employment has grown 27.1%. And, those numbers are expected to hit an all time high in 2013. One new company launches this month with the goal to connect qualified accounting professionals, of every level, with companies in need of their services. VouchedIn (VouchedIn.com) is the first company to offer a free service to professionals and companies as the premier accounting contractor/employer connection online.

Discouraged by a past experience with a staffing firm to work on a project with a corporate team he'd known for many years and being asked to work for 85% of what he considered his minimum rate, Dan Gaffney, CPA decided that there had to be a better way to directly connect those companies, big and small, looking for qualified and reliable accounting professionals. More importantly, allow them to connect directly and work out contract agreements amongst themselves, saving companies money and allowing contract accounting professionals to earn their full value.

"Relationships are crucial; but the important relationship is between the contractor and employer. Not the staffing firm and employer," said Gaffney, Founder of VouchedIn. "Temporary work should be an enjoyable career."

Drawing on his entrepreneurial experience starting his own consulting firm and with an MBA in eBusiness/Leadership and Change Management from DePaul University, Dan developed a business plan for what would become VouchedIn, and started discussing the model with colleagues; including employers, contractors, venture capital firms and other successful entrepreneurs.

Gaffney adds that the company philosophy is to help create employment opportunities and more work for contract accounting professionals by offering an online resource for matchmaking. Through this process he believes that employers and contractors gain benefits and options they have not had until now.

• VouchedIn is free to join-for employers and contractors
