Jessica Starns

Head of Finance & Accounting, Melbourne

Career background: I began my Recruitment career in the UK, where I worked at a training provider assisting companies in recruiting apprentices. After realising my passion for recruitment, I moved into agency work and specialised in Accounting Support. With nearly 6 years’ experience in the UK and Australia, I have continued to build my expertise in Finance, Accounting and Payroll recruitment.

After 18 months in Perth, I took the opportunity to move to Melbourne to head up Finance, Accounting and Payroll recruitment, where I focus on connecting businesses with top talent and building long-term client partnerships.

What I’m passionate about: At my core, I am a people person and I am passionate about helping others. I have helped different people, in different walks of life from my volunteering experience to my career in recruitment. I believe this is why I enjoy my role as a recruiter so much, I get to hear about peoples interests, motivations and passion and help them achieve their goals and on the flip side help companies find their missing puzzle piece!

What you can call me for: I specialise in connecting Finance professionals with businesses of all sizes, covering Accounting Support, Part-Qualified and Qualified roles. This includes Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Payroll, Assistant Accountants, Transactional Managers and Payroll Managers, Management Accountants, Financial Accountants and Finance Managers.

If you’re looking to add talent to your team, or would like advice on the current market, feel free to get in touch — I’m always happy to grab a coffee and talk about future plans. For those seeking their next role in Finance, I can support with CV guidance, interview preparation and helping you secure your next opportunity.

Two fun facts about me:
1. I volunteered in Florida for two weeks
2. I started working at Leicester FC, and was there when they won the premier league. I continued working in Bars/Restaurants as a second job for most of my career, due to my love for cocktails, food and music.
