“Ed Mc Alexander is absolutely a pleasure to work with and throughout the entire search process. Ed starts out by clearly understanding the candidate’s experience, career objectives, and what they are looking for from the next step of their career. From Ed’s genuine enthusiasm in providing qualified opportunities, to ensuring the right fit for both the candidate and the company, and his detailed interview preparation including knowing the culture and backgrounds of the interviewers|manager of the company, I could not have had a more positive experience. Ed was always available to answer my questions, he pro-actively touched-base, and provided personalized assistance through the entire search process. As a result of Ed’s commitment and support I received, I was offered and accepted the role of Finance Director directly supporting the Chief Marketing Officer with Central Garden & Pet. Ed is refreshingly friendly, outgoing, and truly passionate about connecting talented people with great companies. Ed made the entire search experience very positive and I will continue to stay in touch with him throughout my career.”

Jason Hicken | Director of Finance

“Ed McAlexander cold called me in May of 2012. He was straight to the point, and he told me that he thought that he had a solid candidate for my open Controller search. The search ended up on and off hold until Ed filled it in February of 2013. Ed showed a tremendous deal of patience as well as diligent follow up skills throughout these long 9 months. He also only sent over a few candidates showing off his strong candidate screening skills. Ed and I developed a strong rapport over these 9 months, and I would highly recommend Ed to any company that is looking to hire and Accounting and Finance professional.”

John Alder | CFO | EVENTIM

“I have known Ed for almost 6 years. He placed me here at EMS Technologies in January of 2006 as a Senior Tax Manager. The whole process: interview process, offer extension, and offer acceptance was very smooth and efficient with Ed. I am currently the Director of Tax here at EMS Technologies and Ed placed me here considering my long-term goals and making sure the position was the right fit. Ed is a pleasure to work with as well. He is not high pressure like a lot of other recruiters. Ed is honest and forthright and I believe he truly cares about what is in the client’s and the candidate’s best interest. He builds his business based on long-term relationships not quick transactions. I give Ed my highest recommendation to any Client and|or Candidate.”

Jaime Doronio | Director, Tax | Manhattan Associates

“I have had great experiences with Ed, both as a candidate and as a client. Ed placed me in 2005 and we have continued to work together since that time with very positive results. As a candidate, Ed worked very hard to place me in a position that was accretive to my career. As a client, Ed has consistently presented high quality candidates. Ed has a very strong work ethic, is customer-service oriented, and is a straight shooter with both the candidate and client. I would highly recommend Ed to any candidate or client.”

Rob Russell | Director Corporate Taxes | Sigura

“I have been placed by Ed and have used him while hiring staff. He has always delivered a quality service in a timely, personable manner. It has been a pleasure to work with Ed through the years.”

Scott Faulkner | AVP Accounting, Treasurer | Bankers Fidelity Life Insurance Company

“Ed is a like a lot of recruiters in his field: 1. He has a lot of energy. 2. He was not meant to be an Accountant himself. 3. He has an Entrepreneurial Spirit. However, Ed is also not like a lot of recruiters in his field as well: 1. He is customer service oriented. 2. He develops long-term business relationships with both clients and candidates. 3. He has the client and candidates best interest as his primary focus and NOT his commission. 4. He is not a pest, and he is diplomatic in regards to his follow up. I have used Ed as a client and as a candidate in the past. I enjoy working with Ed because he is tough skinned, and he takes direction from me well in regards to the searches that I engage him on. He and I also have shared some laughs in the past. I would highly recommend Ed to any Company looking to hire an Accounting and Finance professional, and I would also recommend him to any Accounting and Finance candidate that is looking for a position out in the marketplace.”

Kelli Kellar | VP and CFO | Arotech Corporation

“Ed is a great business minded person to work with. He truly gets to know each person’s needs and requirements. He then goes to work for you having all this information. He gets things done for you. He also listens well and helps you walk through each option in detail.”

Niraj Patel | VP Financial Analytics and Strategies | North Point Hospitality Group, Inc.

“Ed McAlexander exudes positive energy and confidence, and he delivers results. When I started looking for a job, Ed presented me with four great opportunities within 24 hours, of which I was fortunate enough to receive two offers to choose from. During my prior employment at Atlanta Capital Bank, Ed delivered an A+ candidate to help us fill an opening that had been vacant for almost a year. He is extremely passionate about his job and finding the right fit for both the employer and employee. He has a no nonsense style that gets the job done efficiently and effectively. If you are an Executive at a company looking to hire an Accounting and Finance professional or an Accounting and Finance professional looking for their next career move, I highly recommend Ed McAlexander at MRA Search.”

Katie Kreuzer | Senior Manager, Assurance | Pricewaterhouse Coopers LLP

“In 2016, I had the opportunity to work with a very accomplished recruiting professional. The items that most impressed me about Ed were his true ability to understand the customer’s business need and thoroughly vet candidates to ensure they meet the business needs and complement our company culture. While you can never ensure any process is without risks, Ed clearly understands his customers and works to exceed their expectations.”

Jeff Crane | Accounting, Financial Reporting and Integration | Beeline

“I definitely recommend Ed and his team at MRA Search to anyone looking to change job roles. Ed and his team are top-notch in putting both the needs of the employer and employer first. He strives relentlessly to achieve a “win-win” relationship between the employer and the employee during the recruiting and hiring process. Ed, keep and continue to raise the standards in the recruiting industry.”

Ellis Broadie | VP Finance | Airgas

“Ed placed me at Oldcastle in 2005. He has also placed candidates with me during my tenure with Oldcastle. Thus, I have witnessed his work from both the candidate and client perpectives. Ed is passionate about his business and delivers quality results. I give him my highest recommendation.”

Jason Alwardt | Tax Director | Forbes

“Ed and I have been business partners for a little over 7 months. If there is a term that I can use to best illustrate the way that Ed runs his business, it would be an”intelligent risk-taker”. Being in the staffing industry for over a decade, Ed has been operating an agile business within an ever changing, volatile industry. He is a persistent recruiter that has consistently delivered to both his clients and candidates. It has been a pleasure teaming up with Ed to scale his business and I am excited to see the growth of MRA Search in the years to come.”

André Davis | Account Manager | Venture Capital

“For over five years now, I have been working with Ed McAlexander, and have been thoroughly impressed with his ability to bring outstanding potential candidates to us. After going it alone for several weeks and having no success in trying to identify a candidate for an open role, Ed brought us several outstanding candidates in one day after I phoned him for his help. We ultimately hired one of these candidates. This hire has been a perfect fit, and remains a very strong member of the team. Ed’s communication skills, people skills, follow up, client service, and delivery are second to none. I give MRA Search and Ed my highest recommendation.”

David Knab | Corporate Controller | Technicolor

“Ed McAlexander is not only an experienced recruitment manager, but he is also a selfless and valuable volunteer. I was referred to Ed by one of my coworkers, because we were looking to recruit more working professionals to join our volunteer roster. Over the phone, he’s engaging, passionate, and sharp as a tack. So, I invited him to tour the Hire Heroes USA Headquarters and I couldn’t get enough of his big personality, sense of humor, and smile. Ed is such a dedicated volunteer that he often reserves time in his busy schedule on Fridays and the weekends to conduct career counselings and mock interviews for our transitioning servicemembers. He has an extensive background in executive recruitment, human resources, finance|accounting, resume reviews, project management, and talent management. He enjoys sharing industry best practices with our military families, as well as giving them a boost of confidence during the career search whether it’s a small nod in the right direction or tough love. His coaching style works and his military clients absolutely love him. Ed takes pride in building long-term relationships and giving our military clients what they need to be successful during their transition, and that’s why it is a pleasure and a blessing to have Ed on our volunteer team!”

Dynesha Montgomery | Customer Service Game-Changer, Attitude Ambassador | Diversity and Inclusion Advocate

“I have known Ed McAlexander since he placed me at Russell Corporation in the summer of 2001. I have worked with him on both sides – when looking for new opportunities as well as when I needed to hire resources. His follow up and communication skills are top notch! He has a professional and direct manner and tells you what you need to hear instead of what you would like to hear. He is a breath of fresh air in the recruiting industry. I give MRA Search and Ed McAlexander a high recommendation!”

Michele Bell | Consultant | ClearPath Associates

“I have known Ed for 20 years, first meeting him at Ole Miss. We had several classes together. Ed majored in accounting and briefly worked in public with a Big 4 firm. Ed’s passion lay elsewhere. His personality and genuine interest in people called him to a career in recruiting. We’ve always kept in touch. Ed has assisted me on previous career searches, and I’ve helped him as much as possible by sending potential candidates to him. His drive and enthusiasm for finding people a career home are unparalleled in this business. His passion comes through in his persistence and his personal advice on how to interview and approach a client. Ed has a huge heart. Uncommon is his compassion for people. When I’ve reached out to other colleagues that I know, I have run into several that have recommended that I reach out to Ed. That’s a sure sign that he’s touched more people’s lives than just mine. I count Ed as a dear friend, and I truly trust him with my career search. Without reservation, I recommend Ed to anyone searching for a new career or anyone wanting to get into the recruiting business.”

H. Allen Salter | Director of Finance | Upson County Board of Commissioners

“I was referred to MRA Search on a Tuesday, and in less than two weeks, I was choosing my new job between three offers from MRA Search clients. MRA Search was extremely thorough in their communication with me throughout the interview process, and they were direct. I did not have to worry about smoke and mirrors with MRA Search as I have to do with other recruiting firms. Ed delivered and is very enjoyable to work with. I give Ed and MRA Search my highest recommendation. I will use them in the future and also recommend them to any friends.”

Matt Tonkovich | Controller | Reliable Heating & Air

“I have known Ed for over 10 years, and he is one of the hardest working recruiters I’ve ever worked with. He is very well connected with the business community and provides top notch customer service to his clients. I worked with him for 3 years directly and would work with him again anytime.”

John Pope | Building a Better Working World

“MRA Search recently filled a need within my team. The experience was very successful and I am more than pleased with the outcome. MRA Search brings experience, energy, and passion to the table. You can count on them to get the job done and meet the goal.”

Brian Hendricks | Director of FP&A | ThyssenKrupp Elevator

“Ed McAlexander is one of those unique individuals who has great work|life balance. He works hard, plays hard, loves his family and friends and will give the shirt off his back. In the volatile industry of executive search, Ed and MRA Search bring order, the highest level of customer service and win-win results to the table. Ed’s uncanny ability to read between the lines and understand what’s not being said ultimately results in the highest closing percentage in the industry in finding the right candidate for the right client at the right time. LinkedIn has recognized Ed as one of the top 5 recruiters in the country. I have to concur with LinkedIn and provide my highest recommendation for Ed McAlexander of MRA Search.”

Cheney Robinson | Director | Heritage Solutions, LLC

“I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Ed for over a decade both personally and professionally. He’s a consummate professional and a wonderful person.

Mark Buckis | CFO | Eco Window Systems

“I have known Ed for half of my life, both professionally and personally. When I think of Ed, these words come to mind: loyal, relentless, focused, determined, truthful and personable. One of the biggest strengths that Ed has is that if he says he is going to do something, you better bet your bottom dollar that it will happen. Ed has always been a straight up|truthful man and he will tell inform you of what you NEED to hear to assist you in business. Not what you WANT to hear. That can be a powerful advantage to have on your team. I can tell you two things about Ed. One, if he is on your team, he will never lead you down the wrong path. Secondly, you will not find a better, more qualified individual that specializes finding talent in what Ed specializes in. All in all, bringing Ed on board will give you a definite edge to your business. Not having Ed on your team will not. Simple as that.”

Lacey Degnan | Vice President | GRN Birmingham

“Ed has been a friend of the family for over 25 years. I have worked for many bosses, but Ed challenges the role of a boss and takes on the form of a leader that exudes confidence and truly has a passion for evolving his employees by instilling skill sets that they can take with them for the rest of their lives. He is blunt and to the point and gets the job done with 100% efficiency and his friendliness and reliability are what have driven his success over the years. It has been a pleasure working with Ed in my new found career and I look forward to many successful years to come. If you are looking to work with Ed and our team here at MRA Search, I give my highest recommendation.”

Avery Alfonso | Administrative Manager | MRA Search

“Ed assisted in placing me at Air Serv Corporation. His follow up, customer service, and communication skills are top notch. Working with him made the interview process seem like it moved along at a quicker pace. I give Ed an extremely high grade and would recommend him to any Accounting and Finance professional that is looking for a new position. I love his personality and it is always a pleasure to work with him.”

Ore Tomori | CFO | SolAmerica Energy

“I have known Ed both personally and professionally for 10 years now. Ed has always brought passion and positive energy to his work. However, he has now evolved into a solid leader and manager. I give both Ed and MRA Search my highest recommendation.”

Michael Jones | Sr. Director – Customer Care | The Home Depot

“Ed placed me here at TKE. His customer service, communication, and follow up are excellent to say the least. He is extremely thorough and goes above and beyond the call of duty so to speak. He cares about keeping the client and candidate happy, and not just being transactional and collecting a commission check. I give Ed my highest recommendation.”

Justin Mimbs | Co-Founder and CFO | Elevation Building Company LLC

“Ed is a very thorough and professional executive recruiter. He did a better job than any recruiter with whom I have worked in keeping me informed of the status of my recruitment. He is tireless and is available above and beyond the call of duty. He was persistent in seeking updates from my eventual employer and was able to secure an offer that exceeded my expectations at the start of the process.”

Derek Cook | Sr. Pricing Manager | Cox Automotive

“My search firm, Polaris, has partnered together with Ed on a number of successful searches. Ed is a bulldog at what he does, and is one of the hardest-working recruiters I know, but more importantly he gets results. He is well-known in our recruiting community and will run through brick walls for his loyal clients!”

Josh Berger | Managing Partner | Polaris Financial Staffing

“I have worked with several recruiting firms since moving to Atlanta four years ago. However, the best — and the only firm I will use in the future — is MRA Search. Ed McAlexander at MRA Search knows the Accounting and Finance recruiting business. His commitment, timeliness, and genuine common courtesy are exceptional. I have known Ed for seven years, and he has placed me at three great companies in Atlanta. At two of the companies, I interviewed on Wednesday and had a competitive offer letter by Friday. You cannot ask for a quicker turnaround. Speed is the game in recruiting, and MRA Search delivers. I would highly recommend MRA Search to any candidate or client. You will be happy with the results.”

Janet Poole | Director of Accounting | Gray Television, Inc.

“I have been working with Ed McAlexander of MRA Search for 9 years, and I will say that his follow up is second to none.

I would highly recommend Ed McAlexander of MRA Search to any company that is looking to fill an accounting or finance position.”

Clark Christensen | Senior Finance Manager | The Coca-Cola Company

“I have known Ed for almost 6 years now. I have used him as a client and as a candidate as well. He is professional and courteous, and, above all, he is customer service oriented – a trait very difficult to find in this day and age. Ed is pleasant to work with as he and I have also shared many laughs. We have a common interest outside of work – college football. Even though Ed is an Ole Miss alum, we still get along. I would recommend Ed to any client or candidate in the Accounting and Finance Community.”

Melissa Stapleton | Former Controller | Peak Campus Companies

“Ed is exceptional and one need only speak with his clients and candidates to learn this. For several years he and I have worked with some of the same clients, and I’ve had conversations with many people whom he has helped to find new jobs. He is very highly thought of by clients, candidates, and friends. Expect results from him; his work ethic is unparalleled, and he is rigorously honest and straightforward with both candidates and clients. Ed takes a personal interest in the people with whom he works, and he builds professional friendships that last. Attend a social function with Ed, and you’ll be hard-pressed to decipher between those with whom he went to college and those who are his clients. Success in recruiting is about long-term relationships, and Ed gets it.”

Chip Locke | Executive Partner | IT Transformation Recruiter

“I have known Ed McAlexander of MRA Search for about eight years. We have always had a good rapport. The follow-up, customer service and professionalism that Ed displays are in a class of their own.

I highly recommend MRA Search to any accounting and finance candidate who is in the market for a new job.”

Greg Woods | Controller | Berkeley Southeast Insurance Group

“I have known Ed McAlexander for 8 years. Not only is he a solid recruiter, but he is also a good person. He treats candidates and clients the way they want to be treated, and he is both candid and tactful. His follow up is A++, and he will not waste your time with candidates that are not a match. I always feel like I am Ed’s only client when we work together due to his keen focus on understanding my hiring needs and finding quality candidates. I would highly recommend Ed to any Accounting and Finance client and|or candidate.”

Lisa Joublanc | Former VP & Treasurer | Global Payments

I have worked with Ed for many years in a few different capacities as a candidate as well as a client.

His hard work, dedication, follow-up, and commitment to the customer is extraordinary and work ethic is beyond normalcy. I would highly recommend using MRA Search and Ed McAlexander.”

Tim Minster | Assistant Controller | Diversified

“Ed McAlexander and I have a great working relationship. He always provides me with excellent candidates in a timely manner. He is honest in his assessment of the candidates, and I really appreciate his candor. He does not waste my time. I wish all of my vendors were more like Ed. I would highly recommend Ed to any company looking to hire an Accounting and Finance professional.”

Mark Arneson | Director of Tax | OldCastle, Inc.

“Ed placed me at my position at Datapath (now Rockwell-Collins Satellite Communications Systems). He was extremely helpful during the process, which I needed more than ever due to the fact that my third child was being born that same week. I would recommend Ed to anyone who is in need of an Accounting and Finance Recruiter.”

Travis Powell | Asst. Treasurer and Director FP&A | Asbury Automotive Group

“I have known Ed McAlexander of MRA Search for several years. I enjoy working with him because he is honest and professional. I have relied upon Ed both as a candidate and hiring manager and I would not hesitate in recommending him to any accounting and finance professional.”

Dustin Martin | COO and Treasurer

“I met Ed in 2000 at KPMG when I was a Senior Auditor on an engagement, and he was a Staff Auditor. Since that time, I have worked with Ed as a client and a candidate. As a client, Ed has always brought me candidates that have aligned with my needs. When I was a candidate in the past, Ed approached me with opportunities that he knows align with my values. Ed’s commitment to the search and to his candidates is second to none. We also share a common interest outside of work – sports of course. Every year, we go to the Falcons’ coaches’ luncheon and a Training camp practice. I have and will continue to refer Ed to other clients and candidates.”

Tom Stuetzer | CFO | TydenBrooks

“MRA Search is a firm that has been very responsive and productive with our financial positions. Our positions tend to have extensive and very specific industry and experience requirements. MRA Search has been effective at asking the right questions and locating candidates that fit our needs. I would not hesitate to recommend them to other companies.”

Tony Chimera | Chief Talent Officer | Westfield Specialty

“I have worked with Ed McAlexander for several years, and he has brought a passion and solid experience to each engagement.  Ed listens, and then, Ed acts.   He keeps me updated regularly, and I never question whether he is working for me.  In 20 years of experience, some of the best Controllers and Finance VP’s that I have hired came through Ed.”

Rob Turner | Former CFO | Teters Floral Products

“Ed is a great guy with many connections in the Atlanta|Metro Atlanta area. He is constantly working – throughout the evening even, to find positions for his candidate base. I know this personally as he has placed me twice in my career. Ed definitely has a good attitude, an incredible work ethic and is a great guy to work with.”

Brian Teague | Controller | Vacation Express

“Ed McAlexander has placed me twice in my Accounting and Finance career here in the Atlanta area. Ed is extremely blunt, but I would rather have someone to tell me how it really is than have to deal with smoke and mirrors. Ed and I also built a personal rapport from activities outside of work as well. We are both huge Football fans. Two of our favorite teams are UGA for College Football and the Atlanta Falcons for the NFL. We usually get the business part of our conversation out of the way first before getting into the Football talk. Ed is extremely professional, and I would highly recommend Ed to any Accounting and Finance candidate.”

Ray Buice | Controller | CallRail

“Having known Ed for over ten years, I have seen him succeed in everything he’s done. While at a big four accounting firm he made his mark by delivering excellent service and going beyond his client’s expectations. He leveraged that knowledge to join Spherion and quickly became a top producer, breaking all kinds of records and innovating in a way that the company and its associates had not yet seen.

Wanting to establish a new standard of excellence that was not being delivered in the industry, Ed co-founded BlueTree Search with other top performers in the field. Ed was the leading sales person at BlueTree for 4 of the 5 years he was there. Ed placed high-level CFO positions at some of Atlanta’s most prominent companies with excellent candidates. Some of the positions had gone unfilled for up to a year or more and Ed, through his hard work and dedication, filled in a matter of weeks.

Ed continues to innovate with the founding of MRA Search and will be yet again pushing new boundaries in the industry to deliver service that is beyond his client’s expectations. I would trust Ed with every aspect of my business, including the most important aspect – the people.”

Christopher Cay | President | Cay Insurance Services

“Ed was a great asset to our firm and clearly demonstrated himself as an expert that we could count on. We have worked with a number of recruiters in the past but Ed’s service, knowledge, and access to premier talent has surpassed our previous experiences. He is definitely our go to guy with any future needs.”

Damon Jotham | Director of Finance Transformation | Honeywell

“Ed went to bat for me when I needed to change positions due to a downsizing. He is great to work with and listened to my needs for a new position with DHA.”

Don DeHaven | Principal | DeHaven and Company, Inc.

“Ed McAlexander is a unique recruiter and a pleasure to work with. I’ve worked with him in multiple searches and appreciate his ability to learn his clients’ specific needs and work to find the right person to meet those needs. He does not waste candidates’ or clients’ time seeing if someone can be a fit when the skills and needs don’t match. He also does a good job managing client expectations by educating them on the market and industry norms for comp and benefit packages. I highly recommend MRA Search for your next search.”

Karen B. Fortune | Partner | Investigative Accounting Group

“Ed is the best. I have seen Ed excel from the Candidate side and the Client side. Ed placed me at Schweitzer-Mauduit International. During the hiring process, Ed was extremely helpful. He answered all my questions, and I always felt comfortable working with him. Ed did not pressure me into taking the job. It was my decision. He treated me the way that I wanted to be treated. From a Client’s perspective, Ed does not waste my time with a high number of resumes. It is not quantity, but it is quality. That is Ed’s motto. I am clear in regards to the initial communication when engaging him in a new search. He actively listens, asks informative follow up questions, and then executes. I would highly recommend Ed to any client that is looking to fill an Accounting|Finance position or candidate that is looking for a new position in the realm of Accounting and Finance.”

John Fry | Sr. Director Finance | WestRock

“Ed McAlexander has given me excellent customer service throughout the last 5 years. He does not waste my time with candidates that do not fit the requirements. He has placed candidates with me on both a permanent and contract basis. Ed does his job with a great amount of energy, charisma, and enthusiasm. He and I also have something in common outside of business. We are both huge sports fans. Thus, when we are done discussing business, we always have something to talk about regardless of the time of year. I would highly recommend Ed to any client that is looking to fill an Accounting|Finance related position.”

David Grudzien | VP Tax | Metso USA

“I have known Ed for a year. We met through a mutual friend in a social situation. I had a one-year contract so I was not looking at the time. However, when the contract ended, Ed, in a timely manner, ran a couple of positions by me. One of them is now my current position. Throughout the process, Ed was tenacious and worked extremely hard for me. He always had my best interest in mind and made sure that I was happy and comfortable. The end result was a positive one, and as an interesting side note, I was Ed’s first placement at MRA Search. I would recommend Ed to any Accounting and Finance Professional looking for another position without hesitation.”

Catherine McSwain | Director, Finance and Business Support | InterContinental Hotels Group

“I have known Ed since he was a Rookie in 2001. I have seen him grow up in the business world so to speak, and I would say that he is a Fast Tracker. He has placed me twice in my career. He is great to work with. Even though I am not a Football Fan, Ed and I get along and share many laughs when we are not talking serious business matters. I have referred many candidates to him in the past, and I will refer many more in the future. I have worked with recruiters in California and Georgia, and I will say without hesitation that Ed McAlexander is the best Executive Recruiter in the Country – Bar None.”

Valerie Sparks | Tax Manager | Manufacturing Industry

“Ed is the most dedicated, hard-working and persistent recruiter I know, and his energy is contagious. I met Ed when he was 27 years old and have seen him grow up from being a Recruiter at Spherion to a Partner at BlueTree and now he is running his own firm as the Managing Director at MRA Search. It has been a pleasure working with Ed over the last 8 years, and I look forward to continuing our business relationship for many years to come. There is no doubt in my mind that Ed and his team at MRA Search will be extremely successful.”

Louise Yeoman | CFO | Simply Protein for Pets

“I have known Ed for over 7 years. I first met him when he was at Spherion so I have seen him grow from a Recruiter for a Corporation to a business owner. I have used Ed before both as a client and as a candidate, and I have always had positive experiences. He always puts the customer’s priorities first, and he does what is in the best interest of both the client and the candidate at all times. Ed is also fun to speak with when there is time to speak about non-business related topics. Of course, Ed is a big Football Fan as we all know. I am still however waiting on that dream job for Ed to run by me. I would highly recommend Ed without reservation.”

Scott Soloway | Financial Systems Manager | WestRock

“Ed is an excellent business partner who is well grounded and a people person. He goes above and beyond the call of duty and takes his business very seriously. I have known Ed for the last 4 years and his professionalism and business acumen is second to none. He is an accomplished business man.”

Robbie Terry-Washington | Owner | RTW XXACT Enterprises, LLC

“I have known Ed for eight years as both a client and candidate. I find him to be a successful, high energy, personable and results-oriented businessperson. He puts a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and expertise into his engagements and be counted on to source the right candidates for a client and go the extra mile for you as a candidate.”

Jason Petrovich | VP Finance | Insight Global

“I have worked with Ed McAlexander during his time at MRA Search as well as at BlueTree Search. He consistently provides the same great service as an executive recruiter.

As a former accounting professional, Ed knows what I need when hiring for accounting and finance positions. He consistently delivers qualified candidates for all of my vacant roles. Ed knows exactly what questions to ask the candidates to ensure that they are the best fit for my positions. I have no concerns with Ed’s abilities as an executive recruiter. I have even placed Ed’s candidates in front of my hiring managers without speaking with the candidates prior.

Ed also has great follow up skills. He keeps me updated on the status of his candidates without me having to ask. He truly is able to anticipate my recruiting needs. I really trust and value Ed as a business professional.

I would highly recommend Ed to any employer who is seeking to fill accounting and finance positions. Ed is not only an executive recruiter; he is a true business partner.”

Leonard Hawkins | Recruiting Consultant | New Beginnings Search Group

“Ed has a passion for people and for business – a great combination in a recruiter! Ed’s business and financial knowledge, plus his understanding of the importance of candidate behavioral fit, greatly benefited our company on several occasions to find the qualified hire. Once I contact Ed, I know he will quickly and diligently work towards making the best match; he is careful to produce candidates of high integrity and honest (even though he could have “made the sale”) to raise the flag if an integrity or other concern develops during the process.”

Vicky Ganes | Owner | Roosters Men’s Grooming Center

“Ed is without doubt the hardest working individual I’ve ever met. He’s a tenacious, yet strategic recruiter that has extremely strong knowledge of the Atlanta marketplace and is as well networked as anyone you’re likely to find. Ed treats clients and candidates with both professionalism and personality, allowing him to not only understand the technical aspects of a search, but even more importantly to recognize a fit from a cultural perspective. I’ve enjoyed the business and personal interaction we’ve had so far and look forward to continued successes in the future.”

Jason Ramstein | Managing Partner and Founder | Alvecot Search

“I have known Ed for over 6 years. During that time, I have found Ed to be both an expert in his field, as well as an individual whose opinion and recommendations I value. Ed understands the market, and always approaches each situation with the highest degree of professionalism and integrity.”

Wayne Tarkenton | VP and CFO | Wurth Wood Group

“Ed is a consummate professional, who knows how to find the right Finance talent like nobody I know. He has the perfect personality for the Staffing business, he is driven, competitive and knows Finance. His list of contacts is amazing and Ed can take the most difficult assignment and find viable candidates faster than the other people I have worked with in the very competitive field of Financial Staffing. And he does a great job of ensuring the candidates he presents are ready to make a move. Any business, whether start-up or well established, looking for quality Financial candidates would be hard pressed to find better than Ed.”

Jeff Bradley | Director of AP | Paradies Lagardére

Frequently, I am asked for recommendations of local recruiters and I do not hesitate to refer them to Ed. I appreciate that Ed has been in the ‘trenches’ before and is able to assess candidates qualifications based on his experience, I highly recommend Ed to others and look forward to working with him in the future.”

David Parker | Managing Director | Parker Talent Solutions LLC

“Ed McAlexander is an extremely dedicated Executive Recruiter in the Atlanta area and the Country as well. From a client’s perspective, he is diplomatically aggressive. Ed attacks his assignments with a lot of energy, intensity, and enthusiasm. He is also tough skinned. One of Ed’s greatest attributes is that he can work with candidates at all levels from Staff Level all the way to C –Level Executives. I highly recommend both Ed McAlexander and MRA Search.”

Matt Lavelle | CFO | Encompass Digital Media, Inc.

“I have seen Ed in action on both the client and candidate side. He is extremely hard working and determined. His determination is not simply to get the job done, but to find the right fit between the role, company and candidate. He approaches this connection from both the client and candidate side. It is a refreshing approach and his never stop attitude and honesty put him over the top when compared to other recruiters.”

Dan Monahan | President and COO | Home Care Delivered

“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Ed multiple times since I first met him back in 2002. His attention to detail, his enthusiasm for finding the perfect candidate-employer match, and his optimistic personality enable Ed to fill searches when others cannot. If you have the opportunity to work with him not only will you get a good employee, but you’ll also get a friend in Ed.”

Michael Deaderick | CFO | Park ‘N’ Fly, Inc.

“Ed is one of the most intense individuals that I’ve ever worked for or with. Ed’s dedication to his work and loyalty to friends and co-workers is beyond reproach. There’s no one more knowledgeable in regard to A|F recruiting in the Atlanta area.”

Keith True | Senior Recruiter | Weatherford

“I’ve worked with Ed several times in the last 10 years and he takes the time and effort to know both the client and candidates to ensure that both parties achieve the right fit and best outcomes. His goal is to get the right candidate and build relationships, not just get one-time placements. Ed is very responsive to both clients and candidates, even in this economy.”

Teri McAlpin | Controller | Amoena USA Corporation

“I have had the pleasure of working with Ed for the past six years as a candidate and a client. Ed has a great attention to detail, extremely customer focused, and an enthusiasm to place the best talent. The talent he’s brought to our organization has been recognized as high potential and already moved upward in our organization into director level roles. I would highly recommend Ed and look forward to working with him in the future.”

Jay Weaver | CFO | Halco Lighting Technologies

“I have known Ed since his first day in the business world – August 1999 at KPMG where we were both Staff Auditors. We have been friends ever since that day, and we are currently Strategic Business Partners. Ed has always been full of energy and enthusiasm; however, Ed learned early in his KPMG career that Auditing was not his passion. He was extremely lucky to find his passion early in his career – Executive Recruiting (Accounting and Finance Professionals). He started at Spherion in January 2001 and finished 2nd in the Country in the Rookie of the Year award that year and has not looked back since. If you read all of his testimonials on his website and his recommendations on LinkedIn, they speak volumes of his accomplishments and commitment to his clients and candidates. Ed is one of the hardest working and most trustworthy professionals I have had the pleasure to work with. He is both a friend and strategic business partner and I’m truly grateful both personally and professionally.”

Scott Law | Business Development Director | RSM

“Since I was an external recruiter in my past life, I have high expectations of the service I expect. People say that I can be tough on the external recruiters that I work with. However, Ed McAlexander of MRA Search never complains. He always says to me, ‘Laura, you are the customer, and I am the vendor. You are my boss.’ Ed has placed our CAO, Director of Tax, and our VP of Finance here at EMS Technologies. He knows our corporate culture inside and out, and he delivers great results. Recently, we engaged Ed on a search that was open for 5 months. I gave him the exclusive for a week. 2 hours after I gave him the exclusive, he submitted the two finalists for the position, one who got the job. Not only is Ed a good business owner, but he is also fun to work with. Ed is well rounded, and I would highly recommend Ed and MRA Search to anyone.”

Laura O’Tuel | Chief People Officer | Surgical Information Systems

“I have had the pleasure of creating a successful business relationship with Ed McAlexander this past year. In my opinion, Ed is very competent in evaluating the professional backgrounds of job candidates and matching them with excellent potential employers.

Ed is a pleasure to work with as well. He is honest and forthright and I believe he truly cares about what is in the client’s and the candidate’s best interest. He builds his business based on longterm relationships and has his candidates’ best interest as his primary focus and not his commission. He brings to the table a wealth of successful examples and very valuable advice.

I sincerely urge any potential job seekers to contact Ed and use his experience in making contacts turn into potential job opportunities. Thank you for all the great advice :)”

Crysten Breita | Accounting and Finance Manager | Halocarbon Products Corporation

“I have known and worked with Ed since 2002. He has successfully placed several candidates with our company. Ed is very candid and he is extremely responsive. His honesty and timely feedback is very helpful from both the candidate and the client perspective. I highly recommend Ed.”

Damian Canterini | CFO | InSite Street Media

“Ed always puts the customer’s success first. He takes the time to listen, learn the specific needs, and understand the client’s culture. He then puts his tireless energy and expansive network to work and quickly finds top quality candidates that fit both the role and the company. His reach into the financial community is impressive, he knows where to find talent.”

Jim Bulger | President | WorkThrive Human Resources & Management Consulting

Jorge Lopera | Consultant | DHL Supply Chain

“I had the pleasure to work with Ed on a very difficult search. Ed spent a significant amount of time getting to know my organization and the job requirements prior to engaging the search, in order to minimize the amount of time traditionally “wasted” in the search process. Ed is enthusiastic, energetic and intense and is a recruiter whom I feel I can trust to present the “winning” candidate. I highly recommend Ed McAlexander and would engage his services again.”

Renee Barnstone | CFO

“I’ve had the privilege of working with Ed in a variety of settings, both professionally and civic organizations for many years. During this time, I have known Ed to be a charismatic speaker, pragmatic leader, and a business professional who has the ability to grasp ideas holistically while still taking note to the more acute details. His strengths in staying across issues, pro-actively offering solutions and ideas and being adept at all aspects of recruiting of financial and accounting professionals, make him a valuable contributor to his partners, firm, clients, candidates, and community. I found this to be incredibly valuable in working with him, as it allows him (and for those who work with him) the ability to explore and understand nearly all possible perspectives to an idea and its numerous applications. Along with his strong work ethic, Ed’s dedication to his clients, candidates, and community, undeterred by the challenges they face makes him a value innovator in the truest sense.”

Hillary Hanley | Director of Candidate Recruiting | MRA Search

“I have worked with Ed both as a Candidate and Client. Ed is simply put one of the best recruiters I know. Ed is high energy and high impact. Ed is one of the few recruiters who’s candidates I will see without a phone screen or any prior due diligence because he never sends anything but outstanding candidates. When I have a role to fill quickly and need to bring in top-level talent, Ed is the person I call.

I met Ed first as a Candidate and the level of communication, respect, and enthusiasm he demonstrated during my search led to a long and mutually beneficial relationship which continues today, nearly 7 years after we first did business. I respect Ed’s entrepreneurial spirit and his sense of service and willingness to give back through his charitable endeavors.”

Jay Hoarell | Finance Director | Carrier

“Ed is an excellent business partner and takes the world of recruiting to a new level. I have worked with him for a couple of years and look forward to working with him as both a recruit candidate and a hiring client for many years to come. He does an incredible job of matching the recruit’s skill set to the right opportunity. I highly recommend him as a valued business partner.”

Patrick Gilbert | Assistant Controller | Southwire Company

“I used Ed as my recruiter for Elekta when I was looking to hire a Senior Accountant, Payroll Manager, and Staff Accountant. Ed brought to the table many candidates. I would have hired all of them. Ed does great due diligence with his candidates. No surprises at the interview. Ed has great integrity and honesty.

I am using Ed as my recruiter now that I am looking for work. The same diligence he uses for his clients he is using for me personally. Ed is the only recruiter I feel has truly been honest and up front with me. No run around. I am not just a quota to meet but I am a person whom he truly wants to put back to work with one of his clients.

If you are deciding if you want to use Ed as your recruiter either to hire someone or Ed as your own personal recruiter, you will not be disappointed in him.”

Cydney Beatty | Controller | UPM Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

“I have worked with Ed for the past six years, and I have always found him to be extremely knowledgeable about the financial job market. In addition, Ed is very easy to work with and takes the time to catch up with the people with whom he works. I highly recommend both Ed McAlexander and MRA Search.”

Ben Hillhouse | Associate Director | Boeringer Ingelheim Animal Health

“I have worked with Ed as a recruiter for a number of years. Ed placed me at my last two companies. I have always found him to be extremely hard working and very professional. He takes the time to really understand what his clients (job seekers) are looking for and makes the job search process as easy as possible. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is currently seeking a job in Finance.”

Hilary (Hoogterp) Wilson | CFO | Centurion Pest Management Co., LLC

“I have known Ed for 5+ years and have come to not only respect his opinion, but I also have trusted his guidance in two separate searches. Ed was instrumental in the search that yielded my current position, and he separated himself from other recruiters in the Atlanta market by not over-selling a position in order to close a deal. He is genuinely concerned that his searches provide both the employee and employer with a long-lasting match and was able to get access to good opportunities during a poor labor market.”

Jonathan Merten | Managing Director, Deal Analytics | KPMG

“I would highly recommend Ed McAlexander and MRA Search. Over the years, Ed has proven to be a diligent and results driven recruiter. Whether you are a candidate or a company seeking candidates, you should rest assured that Ed and MRA Search will provide top-notch customer service, integrity, and, most importantly, results. I would highly recommend them to any of my clients that have a need for financial placement services.”

Will Simpson | COO | Intellum, Inc.

“I have had the pleasure and honor of knowing Ed for many years. He is by far the most energetic and enthusiastic professional recruiter that you could wish for on your side. His tireless efforts and pleasant demeanor are second to none. Ed will go the extra mile to help his client find the right candidate for the job. Whether you are a job seeker or a client, your best bet is to seek Ed’s help to ensure results.”

Rob Eshraghi | Controller | T-DRILL

“I have had the pleasure of working with Ed on a couple of different occasions when I was looking to make a job change. Ed really understands exactly what it is you are looking for and never wasted my time with opportunities that were not a good fit. He was reliable, trustworthy and so easy to work with. I highly recommend Ed’s service and professionalism, and he is definitely my first choice.”

Julie Langenstein | Controller | Gourmet Foods International

“I have known Ed for 6+ years. Not only is Ed a great recruiter, but he is also a solid business owner as well. He has more energy and enthusiasm than any other recruiter I know. Ed’s work ethic is strong and he is selective in who he puts forward. I felt he did a great job in finding candidates who would fit my needs, so I did not have to spend time interviewing candidates who did not ‘fit’. Ed has delivered for me from the client perspective, and he is pleasant to work with. I will definitely use Ed and MRA Search again when I have a hiring need or will refer him an Accounting|Finance Candidate who is looking for another opportunity without hesitation.”

David Johnston | Financial Controls and Oversight | Wells Fargo

“Ed is a tireless, results oriented professional. His integrity and personable attention to the client’s needs set him apart in the industry. It is indeed a pleasure to work with Ed.”

Lyn Arnold | VP and Corporate Controller | Tensar International Corporation

“During the past 10 years that I have known Ed, I have never ceased to be amazed with his interpersonal l skill set. Ed has been a friend, trusted advisor, advocate and a good laugh when it was needed most. Ed’s personal drive, work ethic and ability to “close the deal” are second to none. Whether a client or a candidate, I am confident that you will be pleased with Ed’s service, professionalism, attention to details and most importantly, integrity.”

Chuck Pezzino | Partner | Tronconi Segarra & Associates, LLP

“I have known Ed for almost a decade–seeing him grow into one of the top recruiters at Spherion, then Partner at BlueTree and now becoming the Managing Director of MRA Search. I’ve been both a candidate and a client of Ed’s; and have always had a pleasant and informative experience working with him from either perspective. It’s a pleasure to see his MRA Search team off to a fantastic start in their first year of operation, and I see nothing but great things for them in the future. It has certainly been rewarding to watch Ed fast track the recruiting circuit in Atlanta. He is always my first call in matters of accounting|finance recruiting; and I highly recommend Ed McAlexander and MRA Search to any company or candidate in the area.”

Robin Vold | CFO | Fox-Rowden-McBrayer, Inc.

“Ed is an extremely hard working recruiter. He follows up quickly and consistently and is very personable. I will continue to use Ed when I need top notch professionals and wish him the best with MRA Search.”

Brian Lane | CFO | Private Equity

“Ed is one of the most dynamic, and energetic recruiters I’ve worked with over the past 20+ years. He has a brazen honest and direct approach to recruiting which is refreshing in today’s environment. His service is exemplary as he never fails to respond in spite of his workload, and quickly makes you feel like you’re working with a close friend. I’ve recommended him as a resource to others, and will continue to use his firm in the future.”

Ralph Boehm | Head Financial Controls & Compliance | N.A. Novartis

“As someone who Ed has both placed and placed candidates for me I have never been disappointed by the opportunities he provides and the quality of candidates he sends in for a position. Ed takes the time to form a deep understanding of the needs and requirements of a client without being overbearing like so many in the industry.”

Thornton Howard | Director of Financial Planning & Analysis | HOA Restaurant Group

“I have known Ed for many years and you will not find a better recruiter out there. He is one of the hardest working recruiters in the business. He takes the time to get to know his clients and what they are looking for. He will make sure that he finds and places you in the right position. He is definitely the person that you want on your side when you are searching for a new position.”

Barry Jacobs | Sr. Finance Director

“I have known Ed for almost 4 years and he is hands down the best recruiter I have worked with in my career. He has a tremendous work ethic and is extremely proud of the work he performs. His honesty and integrity are a breath of fresh air in an industry that is notorious for poor customer service and lack of accountability. Under Ed’s management, I am confident MRA Search will become a leader in the Atlanta area in the executive recruiting field.”

Andrew Perry | Controller | SPRINTURF

“I have hired Ed on a number of occasions due to his strong network of candidates and his ability to effectively match those candidates to the requirements of the job. On each of the engagements, Ed took the time to gain a thorough understanding of the key success factors for the respective positions and brought candidates forward in an effective and efficient manner. I have known Ed for over 10 years and would highly recommend him as a accounting and finance recruiter.”

Peter Lewchanin | VP Strategy | Steelcase

“I have had the pleasure of working with Ed for the past several years. He has been a recruiter for me personally as well as one of my preferred vendors when looking for candidates for open positions within my company responsibilities. Ed has always shown a good understanding of the needs and skill set required for all levels of Accounting|Finance positions. The best part about Ed is the follow up. He and his team always check in to ensure that the candidates are performing as expected. Ed has high expectations from his candidates and it shows. Ed has been great to work with, and I highly recommend him as a recruiter.”

Robbie Van Scyoc | Sr. Manager Accounting | Fanatics, Inc.

Jason Goolsby | VP FP&A | Greenlight

“I have known Ed personally for over 10 years and have worked with him for around 8. He found me a job back in 2001, and I have repaid my trust in him by recommending multiple colleagues to work with him over the years. No one in Atlanta works harder than Ed on behalf of both the employers that hire him and candidates looking for a new job.”

Mike Shelby | Sr. Project Manager | One Page Thinking

“I must say that Ed really impressed me first time we spoke. He has been true to his word each step of the way and has the insight to realize the clients’ needs in terms of support and feedback. I truly respect Ed’s approach with me and have very much enjoyed working with him as a client. In today’s environment, a GREAT recruiter that is well-rounded is hard to find. When you work with Ed it is refreshing to know that he is thorough, thoughtful and intentional in meeting all parties’ needs. That is RARE and WELL DONE on Ed’s side of the ledger.”

Kevin Hughes | Plant Controller | Hussmann

“I have known Ed for several years both personally and professional. During this time, I have come to learn that Ed is the hardest working and most passionate recruiter I have ever met. His commitment to his clients and candidates is remarkable, with many of them working with Ed time and time again. The Atlanta Financial industry is in good hands with Ed out there recruiting and placing strong, well- qualified persons for his clients. Any company would be lucky to have Ed as their recruiting partner.”

Katherine Cornelius-Jones | Sr. Field Marketing Manager | SunTrust

“I’ve known Ed for 8 years. He helped place me in my current company. Most recently I went to him to fill a couple of positions in my team. Ed is very energetic.

It has been a pleasure to work with Ed.”

Nancy Halliday | Finance Director | UCB

“I’ve known Ed for 8 years. He helped place me in my current company. Most recently I went to him to fill a couple of positions in my team. Ed is very energetic.

It has been a pleasure to work with Ed.”

Steven Paulik | Consultant | The Home Depot

“I have worked with Ed for over 7 years now. Ed is extremely strong with following up with both his clients and candidates. I have hired candidates from Ed, and Ed has placed me into a position as a candidate with one of his long time clients. I will say that both experiences have been good. On the client side, he does not waste my time with candidates that miss the mark. On the candidate side, he runs good jobs past me. If I tell him that I am not interested in the position, he does not act pushy. Ed’s work ethic is solid as well. I would highly recommend Ed to any Accounting and Finance Professional that is looking to hire a candidate or is looking for another position himself|herself.”

Michele Krack | VP FP&A | Exela Technologies

“Ed is a master relationship builder with great insight when it comes to understanding a client’s needs and preferred communication style. As someone who interacts with vendor and potential vendors on a regular basis, I trust Ed and have relied on his professionalism since our first interaction while I was at Russell Corporation. Above all, I appreciate his integrity and listening skills as he puts the clients’ and candidates’ needs ahead of the business temptation to push an ill-fitting placement. In my experience, there are very few agency contacts and vendors with whom I enjoy working; Ed is someone I include on that short list.”

Jennifer Fallago Monahan | Talent Acquisition Strategist

“I have known Ed for the last several years. He is a dynamic and energetic recruiter who is truly excited about what he does. He consistently presents the highest quality candidates and listens to his customers to make sure that he understands and meets their requirements. Ed is quick to respond to any request, and he always makes sure that all of the details are covered. In summary, you will get superior customer service and results from Ed.”

Jeff Whitson | Regional Controller | WestRock

“Ed is one of the hardest working recruiters I have ever met. His extensive experience in the Atlanta job market has allowed him to develop a deep understanding of many of the top employers in the Atlanta market. Ed is selective with who he works with, but once Ed partners with you, you can count on a 110% effort and results. Ed also has a solid reputation with other top recruiters in Atlanta, and this allows Ed to partner with others to identify some of the best job opportunities and candidates available in the market.”

Greg Conner | Consultant | RGP

“I worked with Ed at Spherion and have known him for over 6 years. Ed is very dedicated and a great team player. He is one of the best recruiters that I have ever known. His loyalty, dedication and focus were an inspiration to many of us in the office. Ed is a great person.”

Kirsty Carter | HR and Payroll Manager | American Structural Concrete

“I first met Ed in 2001 when he was at Spherion and have engaged Ed numerous times over the past 10 years. Since I worked for small entrepreneurial companies, Ed often had to fill in as the HR function. Ed understood the importance of this and accepted this role. Over the years Ed always presented me with quality candidates. He was able to do this by listening to my business needs and if he did not have the right candidate available, Ed would find them.

I’m confident that Ed will be successful as a business owner because Ed will take care of his clients. I recommend Ed to any company looking to hire an accounting or finance professional.”

Adam Mathis | CFO | American Process Inc.

“I had tasked Ed McAlexander in my last 2 job searches and I have come back to him for my third round. His no-nonsense style is what sets him apart and makes him my top choice to represent me.
