Hi. I'm not sure if this is the proper place to post this but I have an exclusive opening for a trust and estates attorney who is tax heavy. I am looking for someone to join the US office of an international family office in Philadelphia. I'm happy to share details. There is also a possibility of remote working so if you are not a Pennsylvania resident please don't be afraid to reach out. It's an amazing job! Kristy@advancedlegalplacement.com

This is an insane level of diligence to do on a hire at junior management. Consider what that means for the job once you've got it - they will probably approach many projects the same way. You are interviewing them just as much as they are interviewing you.
You'd be surprised. In today's environment, more team members are being pulled in during the interview process to get a feel for the candidate.
This proves something I have suspected a lot lately, that most "assistant controllers" have NO accounting training, it's not a step toward controller, and thus they have to interview this way to weed out the hopeless cases. I'm sure OP, that you will nail it, and blow them away because you're an actual accountant.
Assistant controllers with no accounting experience? But...how?
That also reminds me to check out the background of all these potential team members.
Lmao wtf. Is this a F100 company??
Judging by their revenues, no. But they’ve seen a ton of growth over the past few years and they were acquired by private equity firm specializing in consumer goods a few months ago.
Honestly, it sounds like you’ve done pretty well thus far. Just trust yourself, maybe take a Xanax and relax - you’re going do great! Congrats.
Do audit managers even learn this kind of stuff? Lol
Working at a small regional firm has allowed me to at least see how companies implement their controls. The walkthroughs I’ve done and narratives I’ve seen has at least shown me how a close process works from the outside.
Though doing it in practice seems to be another thing.
Hmm, I guess refresh yourself on the narratives of fscp on some of your good clients. For the reconciliation improvement, it would be to make the excel reviewable by coding hard coded numbers and different formatting for when something is a formula, adding data validation, etc.
