For remote accounting roles, is location still a big factor in hiring decisions? Because I’ve been looking at a few remote positions but they still ask for candidates in specific cities. Are companies truly embracing remote-first in accounting, or is it more “remote-but-please-commute-once-a-week”? Curious what you're all seeing lately.

That's always going to be an issue. There can be concerns related to state and local tax issues. And there can also be concerns with time zone alignment. And while access to the office is not the only reason for the geographical restrictions, it's true that remote work seems to be dying out. So a lot of organizations are leaning toward a hybrid or just straight out RTO scenarios.

My uncensored thoughts are that they want you close enough for when the RTO mandate comes in. Of course, other variables can be in play for why you still need to be in a certain area. However it might as well just not be remote if I’m required to be in an exact radius.
