Found out today I was denied a potential job because the CEO and CFO had some argument with one of our partners and won’t deal with anyone from our firm. 😒

You don't want to work there. Think about it. They got in an argument with their independent auditor and is so petty they don't want to hire anyone from the firm. The place sounds like a ripe toilet that is waiting to be flushed.

Very narrow minded for a CEO/CFO. They should know better.

SA1 it was apparently a disagreement over fees...about 5 years ago before I even started working at this firm. 🙄

That happens too. Also important to consider that when the fees are higher, it's normally bc the clients books were all jacked up. That would mean their either a bunch of morons or indifferent. Either way, I wouldn't want to work there.

I know it sucks, but it's probably for the best. Lots of red flags. You'll find something better.

Agree. I wouldn’t want to work for someone so petty. I appreciate him showing his colors before I went and worked there.

Thanks!
