About Us
Stonefish Careers is where influence meets expertise. With over sixty years of combined experience across recruitment, accounting, finance, and consulting, we are trusted advisors to some of Brisbane and Australia’s most respected firms. We don’t just fill roles — we shape careers, build leadership teams, and create opportunities that transform businesses.
Jeremy Paterson – Founder & Director
Jeremy has spent more than three decades at the forefront of recruitment. After working with some of Australia’s leading agencies, he founded Stonefish Careers in 2012 to bring a smarter, more connected approach to banking and finance recruitment. Today, he is regarded as one of Brisbane’s most trusted recruiters, known for his ability to identify outstanding talent and deliver results where others can’t.
Anthony Tuite – Director
Anthony is not a typical recruiter. With a career spanning accounting, finance, consulting, and leadership, he brings rare insight into what firms need to thrive and what professionals need to succeed. Recognised as one of Brisbane’s most influential connectors, Anthony has guided countless careers, advised firms on growth strategies, and built networks that extend across the profession. His long-running Mutual Opportunities events have also raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for local charities — proving his impact extends beyond business.
Our Philosophy
At Stonefish Careers, we are strong, agile, and independent. Our reputation is built on three pillars:
Strength – We Stand Strong with the Current
The stonefish represents our durability and resilience. Like its namesake, we are adaptable and strong, never compromising on quality for the sake of speed. Every decision we make is considered carefully, with the long-term interests of both client and candidate at heart. With seasoned consultants and over six decades of combined experience, our philosophy remains simple: we match exceptional candidates with outstanding employers.
Culture – We Make It Our Mission to Achieve Yours
With over a third of our lives spent at work, it should feel meaningful — not like a burden. Our team is passionate about creating that reality for both clients and candidates. We ensure that businesses find the right cultural fit, and that professionals feel supported at every stage of their career journey and beyond. Over the years, we’ve become trusted advisors on:
- Job market trends
- Career mapping
- Salary benchmarking
- Business succession planning
- Strategic improvement and risk analysis
- Best-practice procedures and outcomes
Quality – Shortcuts Are Not an Option
We don’t just look at skills and experience — we look at people. The right candidate is the one who not only delivers technically but also strengthens the team culture. That’s why we screen rigorously, drawing on our national database and deep networks to find talent with both capability and character. Every appointment is made with care, ensuring long-term success for our clients and lasting career satisfaction for our candidates
