Welcome to 4 Paws Recruiting
We are a specialized recruiting firm focused on connecting top-tier candidates with premier financial and accounting clients nationwide.
Every placement made fuels our commitment to protect and support animals in need.
At 4 Paws Recruiting, we do things differently — because how we treat our clients and candidates matters. We listen, we care, and we believe the right fit means everything. Our name reflects that difference too — it’s unconventional by design, sparking conversation about who we are and why we give back.
But Why 4 Paws?
At 4 Paws Recruiting, our mission goes beyond careers — we’re here to improve lives, both human and animal.
While we specialize in finance and accounting recruitment, each placement helps support rescue animals in need.
We proudly partner with a no-kill animal rescue, funding emergency medical care and providing harnesses for adopted pups — boosting their safety, comfort, and chances of finding a forever home.
And we’re just getting started...
"When we started to think about our company...we realized so many of the traits we loved in our animals reflected the things we felt were important in our business".
- Rick Clark, Founder & Owner

Eric, Candidate
I would recommend Rick Clark, without hesitation, to any Accounting or Finance professional seeking the next opportunity in his or her career. Unlike some recruiting and placement firms, Rick is adept at listening to and understanding a candidate’s background, skill set, and career interests. He will not simply ask for a resume and begin discussing openings. His success as a sole proprietor, and previously at a national firm, is a testament to his ability to establish lasting relationships with employers and candidates alike.
