Claire McCormack, CPA

Senior Recruiter @ Cherry Bekaert

About

Accounting-trained, people-focused recruiter with a passion for connecting talent and opportunity (and genuinely getting to know the people behind the resumes!!).I earned my Bachelor’s and Master’s in Accounting from Texas A&M and started my career in PwC’s Assurance practice before moving into corporate accounting. It didn’t take long to realize I was drawn more to the people side of the business, so into recruiting I went!Over the past 10+ years, I’ve specialized in accounting and finance recruiting in the DFW market, building strong relationships and helping people navigate key career decisions. I joined Calvetti Ferguson in 2024 as a Senior Recruiter, and now continue that work as part of Cherry Bekaert following the firm’s recent acquisition.I genuinely love what I do and it shows in how I partner with both candidates and teams. I'd love to connect with you!
