What is CAS?

Client Advisory and Accounting Services. Some large and small firms have these teams.

I switched out of audit to consulting during fall busy season. My group focuses on finance transformation for private equity port co’s, and basically we come in and act as interim controllers/CFOs. It’s mostly consulting heavy, but there is some outsourced accounting that goes along with it. Is there anything specific you wanted to know?

I did in the 90’s after 6 busy seasons.

I was trying to but we’re in a temporary transfer/hiring freeze for that

How do you approach usability testing for new onboarding sequences? I work with a variety of SaaS businesses and recently requests have come in to test onboarding prototypes.

New users are the first to touch onboarding so how do I recruit the appropriate participants to test? Recruiting new users doesn’t seem feasible, I would think we should run A/B tests and cross-check analytics to measure success? Any insight is appreciated!

I saw some sales managers discussing hiring strategies, especially for entry level roles (e.g. SDR, BDR).

One strategy that came up was having the applicant do 90 minutes of cold calling into real prospects with the hiring manager coaching.

What do you think of this approach? Would be curious to hear from both hiring manager perspectives and from candidate perspectives.
