Chaz Hixen

A Cleveland native, Chaz Hixen moved to  Columbus in 2002 to pursue his dreams and become an expert Accounting and Finance Recruiter. You may be asking yourself, “Hold up. Who graduates high school with the aspirations of recruiting?” Okay no, but he did move to Columbus to attend the Ohio State University and earn a degree in Accounting. After college, Chaz stayed in Columbus working for a large regional public accounting firm within assurance where he assisted large, privately held and publicly traded companies with external audit, financial statement reviews, and M&A due diligence.

After working within public accounting for a few years, Chaz decided it was time for a change. In 2008, Chaz joined a large recruiting agency where he was introduced to the accounting and finance talent acquisition industry. He has been a recruiter ever since! Since transitioning from public accounting, Chaz has applied his knowledge and network within accounting and finance to each retained, direct hire or interim search he works on.
