Austin Hemphill - Senior Staffing Manager
After more than two years in public accounting as a member of the audit team at BKD, LLP (now Forvis Mazars), Austin shifted his career to a position that blends his accounting and business experience with his passion to deliver solutions that have a positive impact for others, so he joined Hemphill Staffing Solutions. At Hemphill, Austin specializes in the placement of accounting & finance professionals into project consulting, management consulting, temporary, and temporary-to-hire positions. Austin places individuals at all levels of accounting, finance, tax, audit, financial reporting, financial systems, fixed assets, budgeting, forecasting, bookkeeping, accounts payable, accounts receivable, billing, and payroll.
Austin provides subject matter experts and experienced accounting and finance professionals when a specific skill set is needed for a special project, implementation, conversion, assessment, integration, reconciliation, or analysis or feasibility study is needed. He coordinates projects for individuals who have the experience to step in and get the job done when a client needs a temporary employee for a medical or maternity leave. Austin identifies attractive career opportunities for individuals with a wealth of experience and individuals who are early in their career and focused on making sure they join a quality firm with excellent training and an active mentorship program. He enjoys coordinating consulting projects for individuals who appreciate flexibility. Some projects need full-time employees and others have the flexibility to accommodate flexible or part-time schedules. Some of our consultants retired early and choose to do project work while appreciating the flexibility to take a few months or the summers off and others choose temporary or consulting projects when re-entering the work force.
While in public accounting, Austin audited small, mid-sized, and large corporations in a variety of industries. His experience in public accounting combined with the discipline to gain an in-depth understanding of the position being filled, along with the skills, experience, and personality needed to be successful and happy in the position, and company is a secret to his success. Austin is passionate about finding the “the right match - the first time” and shared: “This is important work, and I really enjoy placing an individual into a position where I know they will be successful and genuinely happy while adding value to our client and their new team of co-workers.”
