Madison brings nearly a decade of expertise in Accounting & Finance recruitment to Rodell Search. Prior to co-founding our firm, Madison was a Senior Partner at Lucas Group/Korn Ferry as a full desk recruiter. Her career journey includes a period as Director of People Operations at a FinTech startup, giving her unique insight into organizational talent needs and the internal hiring process.
Madison's passion for recruiting runs in her family. Growing up in San Antonio with two CPA parents (both former Arthur Andersen professionals), she was particularly influenced by her mother, Michelle Parchman, who founded her own Accounting and Finance recruiting firm.
Based in Fort Worth with her husband, Madison balances her professional commitments with membership at Colonial Country Club and Fort Worth Club. In her leisure time, she enjoys tennis, mocktails, and quality time with her husband when he's not on the golf course.
"Madison not only provided me with excellent candidates but she also was proactive in understanding my short and long term needs. She took the time to understand what was important to me and how we work. She has been a great sounding board for me as I think through my future staffing decisions. When we have an opening ( or a potential opening ) my first call is to Madison."
"Working with Will Elliott has been an outstanding experience. He brings a thoughtful, quality-over-quantity approach to candidate sourcing, consistently presenting well-aligned talent that reflects a clear understanding of our needs. What sets him apart is his deep respect for our brand—he represents us with integrity and ensures every candidate interaction reflects our values. I also greatly appreciate his honesty and transparency throughout the process. It’s truly a collaborative partnership built on trust."
"I worked with Madison when searching for a CFO/Controller opportunity and found her to be very knowledgeable and professional. The thing that impressed me most was her taking the time to keep me up to date via email and phone calls with the status of the interview process as well as providing valuable information about the company and people. Madison is well-connected and knows the value of building relationships. I would certainly work with her again should I be in the market for another opportunity."
"Will truly delivers on his ability to match candidates' skills, experience, and cultural fit with the hiring organization. This results in very successful placements and long-term employee satisfaction for both the candidate and the client. He has become a long term partner for our company when it comes to finding the right talent and expertise in very competitive markets."
"I worked with Madison when searching for a Controller position. She was very knowledgeable and professional. She listened to what I was looking for and provided me with opportunities that fit my background and future goals. She was quick to respond and always followed up, even several months after my time in the position. I would recommend anyone who is looking for a new opportunity to contact Madison. She was a pleasure to work with and I would love to work with her again on future opportunities."
"Madison is a true recruitment partner. Beyond being a pleasure to work with, she took the time to understand what we were looking for, listened to our feedback on the candidates she presented, and adjusted her processes to help fit our needs. I was able to trust her completely to work directly with our hiring manager and loop me in wherever I was needed, making the process as smooth as it could be. To top it off, she helped us find a fantastic candidate in a short amount of time."
"I had a great experience working with Madison. I wasn't in the market but was open to new opportunities. Madison was professional, responsive and I received an offer very quickly. She went to bat for me on my requests and knew which items were important to me. I got a pay bump, better health insurance, a shorter commute, a higher title, and growth potential. I couldn't ask for more as a job seeker."
"Madison has been a delight to work with. She’s a genuine partner, maintaining consistent communication throughout the hiring process. Always ready to jump on a call, she is highly attentive to your needs."
