Who We Are
Relationships Built on Trust
With CPA firm roots and a team of employee owners, we understand what trust and accountability really mean. CFS was founded on a simple idea: relationships matter. Over the past 30+ years, we’ve grown into a leading national firm by staying true to that belief—connecting top talent with great companies through industry insight, genuine partnership, and a personal approach. What sets us apart isn’t just what we do—it’s how we do it: together.
Where We Started, How We’ve Grown
In the late 1980s
Demand was growing for project-based accounting professionals. Dan Casey, Founder & CEO, saw an opportunity for CPA firms to fill that gap through staffing.
In 1994
Creative Financial Staffing (CFS) was founded—launched from the back bedroom of Dan’s home with a desk, a phone, and a vision.
Twenty years later
New regulations required our CPA firm partners to step away from staffing. In 2014, CFS became 100% employee-owned.
In fall 2025
We rebranded as CFS to reflect our broader expertise—while staying true to the values that have guided us since day one.
For more than 30 years, we’ve grown and adapted to meet the evolving needs of clients and candidates. What began as an accounting and finance specialty now includes technology and human resources, helping organizations thrive more holistically.
100% Employee-Owned, Fully Invested in You
As a 100% employee-owned company, every team member at CFS is personally invested in your success. Through our Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), we foster a culture of accountability, collaboration, and care.
We show up, follow through, and go the extra mile—not because we have to, but because we want to. When you work with CFS, you get a partner who is genuinely committed to your goals, your growth, and your long-term success.
