Stanley Stempler, CPA, SPHR

SAS Executive Search, LLC Principal Recruiter

Stan received both his BA (graduating Phi Beta Kappa) and MBA from Rutgers University. After spending three years working for Big 4 and local CPA firms as an auditor (and becoming a CPA in the process), he made a career change to Human Resources at public accounting firms and then spent over 20 years working as the HR Director for several regional public accounting firms, principally for Margolin, Winer & Evens LLP, a 200 person firm based on Long Island, NY and then JH Cohn LLP (now CohnReznick LLP), one of the largest firms in the Northeast.

During those years he hired hundreds of public accounting professionals and learned the business. He also established contacts with fellow HR professionals at public accounting firms in the United States.

In 2009 he founded SAS Executive Search, LLC with the following goals:

To place CPAs and public accountants at CPA firms throughout the United States.
To help individuals relocate from one part of the U.S. to another.
To treat each candidate with the utmost respect and caring.

During this time he developed a reputation as an extremely ethical recruiter who has tremendous contacts and consequently have helped scores of professionals find new positions in public accounting.

Jo-Ann received both her BBA and MBA from Hofstra University. She initially worked on the audit staff at Margolin Winer & Evens LLP, a large regional public accounting located on Long Island, NY, and became a CPA. However, she quickly learned that her real calling was in human resources and transitioned to become an HR and recruiting professional at MWE. In addition, she also served as an adjunct accounting instructor at Hofstra University.

During the next 25 years she worked at MWE and then at Baker Tilly US LLP, where she became an expert in both human resource management and talent attraction. During this time, like Stan, she hired hundreds of accounting professionals.
