“Making the Right Match – A Staffing Firm Perspective“

About Yvonne Yvonne is a CPA who began her career in public accounting with Arthur Andersen in the Houston, Texas and Birmingham, Alabama offices. She has a combined eight years of experience in public accounting and auditing before she made the transition to recruiting and consulting. She has been an accounting and finance recruiter for over 14 years working, initially, in the contingency recruiting division of a local firm in Birmingham, Alabama before starting Vaco Birmingham over three and a half years ago. A native of Lafayette, Louisiana, Yvonne is a graduate of the University of Alabama where she received a Bachelor’s degree in Accounting.

Currently, she has a broad industry background, serving clients of all sizes throughout Alabama, within the areas of finance, accounting, and consulting with a specialization in projects or roles sponsored by the CFO’s office.

“As an executive recruiter for many years, I chose to join the Vaco family of companies as I wanted the opportunity to continue helping my clients with a firm that is easy to do business with – one that is entrepreneurial and flexible in their approach. Companies have a choice on who they want to do business with, and I recognize that. I am able to provide a solution to their needs, either on an interim basis or to fill a permanent role, in a much timelier manner and with the same professional approach that my clients have come to appreciate, and expect over the years.”

In addition to being very involved in professional networking organizations, Yvonne has been a member of the Junior League of Birmingham for 10 years, taught Sunday School at St Francis Xavier Catholic Church and been involved with Glenwood, Inc., the autism and behavioral health center as a past board member and participant of fund-raisers.
