How OnHires Helped DPCA Strengthen Its Accounting Leadership in Cyprus

Accounting and advisory firms depend on experienced financial professionals who can combine technical expertise with accuracy, client responsibility, and operational consistency.

As DPCA continued delivering audit, tax, and advisory services to businesses in Cyprus, it needed to strengthen its internal team with an Accounting Manager who could support both financial operations and service quality. Because this role had a direct impact on internal efficiency and client delivery, the company needed a structured hiring process that could identify the right candidate quickly without compromising on quality.

Hiring in accounting requires more than verifying technical qualifications. Firms need candidates who can manage responsibilities with precision, work within regulated environments, and maintain strong professional standards in client-facing service businesses.

DPCA needed to hire an Accounting Manager who could bring both technical accounting expertise and operational reliability to the team. This required a candidate with strong financial knowledge, leadership potential, and the ability to support day-to-day accounting work in a structured professional environment.

Because experienced accounting professionals remain in high demand, the company needed a recruitment process that could move efficiently while maintaining a strong quality bar and clear evaluation criteria.

OnHires implemented a recruitment strategy tailored to DPCA’s accounting and advisory environment.

We began with role calibration sessions to define the responsibilities, expectations, and success criteria for the Accounting Manager position. The focus was on accounting expertise, process accuracy, organizational ability, and the capacity to contribute effectively in a professional services setting.

We then launched a targeted sourcing pipeline across accounting, finance, and professional services talent pools. Structured interview workflows and calibrated scorecards helped standardize candidate evaluation, while weekly hiring operations improved stakeholder alignment, accelerated feedback, and reduced delays throughout the process.

OnHires managed the recruitment process end to end, from sourcing and screening to offer coordination and onboarding support.

The structured recruitment process helped DPCA strengthen its accounting function while maintaining speed and candidate quality.

By aligning recruitment with the specific needs of the role, the company was able to hire an Accounting Manager who could contribute directly to operational efficiency, reporting accuracy, and internal stability. This reduced friction in the hiring process, improved confidence in candidate selection, and supported stronger day-to-day financial operations.

The result was a more efficient hiring workflow and a stronger foundation for continued growth in audit, tax, and advisory services.
