The Guthrie Group

The Guthrie Group is a recruitment firm that places accounting, finance and IT professionals with employers in Orange County and Los Angeles County, California. It offers consulting, flexible staffing and executive placement, and says it has over 30 years of expertise.

Stuart Guthrie, a former CPA with Grant Thornton LLP and a member of the California Society of CPAs, has provided career opportunities for accounting and financial professionals since 1993. In 1999 he founded his own search firm in Orange County. He assembled a team of CPAs and MBAs who had worked in accounting, finance or IT before joining. In 2000 the firm partnered with sister offices in Los Angeles and Sherman Oaks.

The firm also runs a referral programme that pays a fee when a referred accounting, finance or IT professional is placed in one of its roles. Referral fees are paid on the 90th day after the start date, which matches the standard guarantee period it has with clients.
