May 15, 2023

With growing interest in qualified finance professionals, and 81,800 jobs expected to open in the accounting sector by 2031, PrideStaff, a nationally franchised staffing organization, is pleased to announce that their award-winning Knoxville office has added a PrideStaff Financial division to their existing operations.

Building on the tremendous success of PrideStaff, PrideStaff Financial Knoxville will specialize in accounting and financial staffing, offering expanded services for area companies seeking accounting, bookkeeping, and finance specialists. Owner/Strategic-Partner Paul Shands will be heading the new PrideStaff Financial division in a separate office dedicated to the market. “I’ve wanted to bring PrideStaff Financial to Knoxville ever since I opened my first PrideStaff office,” said Shands. “East Tennessee is a great market, and having a team committed to offering financial staffing support will give job seekers and employers more opportunities to find the right match.

“PrideStaff Knoxville is the most Google-reviewed staffing agency in East Tennessee, with more than 600 4.9- and 5-star reviews,” continued Shands. “We’ve hired two specialized financial staffing consultants dedicated to the brand. Our growing team is excited to offer the same level of exceptional service at PrideStaff Financial Knoxville that job seekers and employers are accustomed to with our PrideStaff division.”

“PrideStaff Financial is an important part of The PrideStaff Companies, allowing us to meet clients’ specialized finance and accounting needs in an extremely tight candidate market,” stated Ashli Fernandez, VP of PrideStaff Financial. “Backed by PrideStaff’s proven business model, Paul and his Knoxville team can devote their time and effort where it matters most: creating ideal employment connections between Knoxville finance and accounting talent and employers.”

As a national staffing services organization, PrideStaff Financial provides outstanding service and results by removing the guesswork from staffing.
