That would be a major red flag to me. The fact that the company still employees him is another red flag.

Clearly it bothers you or you wouldn't be asking. Follow your gut. Otherwise you may have difficulty trusting your new CFO - which could be miserable.

More info: CFO once held out as a CPA when in fact has never been a CPA

Meh

How long ago was it!

Are they a CPA now?

If you feel like you work for unethical people just be careful. If stuff goes down your license could still be at stake

Definitely would be a factor for what it was for. The number on reason people lose their cpa is for failure to file a tax return.

Meh - sometimes people get pissed off at others and file claims. Wouldn't disqualify him immediately. I assume you talked to him during interview - what kind of vibes did he give off?

^^ The guy lied about being a CPA that should automatically disqualify him

There are two sides of every story....

Dont do it. Maybe more skeletons under the bed. Not ethical and thats a sign.

I figure I can always boomerang

Your gut already told you the answer. You are an ethical person if you were already looking for dirt on your future boss. You know you don't want to work for them. Let this job go.
