After multiple unsuccessful recruiting efforts through traditional channels and competing search firms, JPMorgan Chase partnered with Ascension Talent Group to strengthen hiring across its risk, finance, and regulatory reporting divisions amid increasing compliance requirements and enterprise reporting complexity. Roles filled included Financial Analysts, Risk Analysts, Compliance Associates, Internal Audit Associates, and Corporate Accounting Specialists. Through targeted market mapping, passive candidate engagement, and a disciplined screening process, Ascension successfully delivered qualified talent that had previously proven difficult to attract, helping the organization accelerate hiring timelines and support critical business initiatives.

The

Solution

These strategic hires strengthened critical finance, accounting, and regulatory functions while improving collaboration across multiple business units.

The expanded team increased regulatory reporting accuracy, reduced audit preparation backlogs by accelerating documentation and reconciliation workflows, and improved month-end and quarter-end close efficiency. Enhanced staffing also strengthened internal controls, supported evolving compliance requirements, and improved financial governance across the organization.

Leadership gained greater visibility into key financial performance metrics through more accurate reporting and streamlined data management, enabling faster, more informed business decisions. By filling these high-impact positions in just 75 days, the organization improved operational scalability, reduced hiring delays in critical business functions, and built a stronger foundation for sustained growth while maintaining the highest standards of financial accuracy and regulatory compliance.
