Jess Cossari
Associate Director, Finance & Accounting
Who is Jess Cossari?
I am a mum of a 2.5 year old girl, Sienna. I love being around family and friends and sharing good food and an occasional wine. I am an ex-tennis player, and a very competitive, goal orientated individual. I spent 4 years in the USA playing college tennis and have passed on a love and passion of the sport to my daughter. I love travelling with my family, especially back to our second home in Italy where my husband’s family live.
What led you to work in recruitment?
I fell into recruitment by mistake about 7 years ago. At that time, I was working in customer service/sales roles, and was met by a recruiter for a particular role. After multiple conversations, and learning exactly what recruitment was, I started in an entry level role. The
rest is history, I guess…
What attracted you to working at Morgan?
The ability to run my own desk and virtually manage myself. Having been in recruitment for almost 7 years now, I wanted to work within an organisation that was more outcomes focused rather than solely focusing on KPI’s and specific targets. I was also very attracted to Morgan as an employer as most individuals within the business are mature age and understand what a working parent goes through on a daily basis.
What is your expertise at Morgan? How many years of experience do you have in this area?
My area of expertise are Industry Finance and Accounting. I work a combination of both Temp and Perm placements from transactional Accounts Payable, through to qualified and senior level Finance Managers/CFO’s based in the South East of Melbourne. I have worked in this area for approx. 5 years now and absolutely love this division.
What roles do you typically recruit into?
I work a large book of business within the temp/contractor space. Primarily recruiting roles such as Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Credit Control, Payroll, Assistant Accountants, Financial Accountants and many more industry finance positions. I also recruit permanent positions within the same skillsets.
What are you passionate about?
I am passionate about many things in life, but mostly forming good partnerships with people across all different walks of life. I love seeing people succeed and achieve their goals and dreams. Fortunately, some of my biggest passions in my personal life align nicely with my day to day working life.
Tell us 3 words others have used to describe you?
Competitive, Successful, Driven
Who and what inspires you?
There are a few people who inspire me, but my Mum is definitely the most inspiring. She just has this amazing ability to help everyone in her life and have such meaningful connections with people individually and collectively. She is always there when her family need her, and never complains. Since having my daughter it’s made me appreciate my mum even more. I’m sure it couldn’t have been easy raising 3 kids herself, whilst working full time but she has done a fantastic job. She is the best Nanna to my daughter and I’m just so grateful for all she does.
What are you listening to, reading and/or watching right now?
Honestly, I don’t have time to listen to or read anything haha.
What is something many people don't know about you?
Most people wouldn’t know that I have quite a few investments within different businesses. I have my hands in quite a few random pies and am allergic to shellfish.
What is your superpower and why?
I have the ability to remain thin and healthy without doing any exercise.
At the end of 2025, what would you like to have learned?
I would like to have learnt how to use various forms of AI to assist my recruitment process.
