RECRUITING IS ALL WE DO.
Built on accounting expertise. Focused on people.
Professional Recruiting was founded by CPA Jennifer Cedro, whose background in public accounting shaped the firm's commitment to understanding both the technical and human side of hiring. That perspective allows us to better evaluate talent, understand our clients' needs, and make hiring easier.
​
While accounting and finance remain at the core of what we do, we also recruit experienced professionals in HR, payroll, administration, and other key business functions. Our goal is simple: connect great companies with great people who will contribute long after the hiring process is complete.

FOUNDER & RECRUITER
Jennifer Cedro, CPA, founded Professional Recruiting in 2004 after building a career in public accounting, recruiting, and finance. A graduate of the University of New Orleans with a BS in Accounting and a licensed CPA, she began her career in Arthur Andersen's audit practice before transitioning into recruiting, where she led campus recruiting efforts across Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas.

Known for her thoughtful approach, strong work ethic, and genuine desire to help others, Jennifer has built lasting relationships with clients and candidates throughout the Gulf South. She believes recruiting is about more than filling positions; it's about changing careers, strengthening businesses, and creating long-term success for everyone involved.

Outside the office, Jennifer is a proud wife, mom to four boys with two grandsons and two pups, her girls. Whether she's volunteering in the community, staying active, planning her next international adventure, shopping, or spending time with family, she's happiest making meaningful memories with the people she loves. If you've met Jennifer, you've probably noticed one thing right away: she's almost always smiling.
