I’m hiring a remote Accounting Manager role (US-based, $140k). The role involves leading a system implementation, supporting financial prep, and overseeing day-to-day accounting and month-end close. Ideally, I’m seeking someone with:

1. Big 4 experience,
2. CPA,
3. Senior-level experience at Big 4,
4. Industry reporting, and
5. ERP system implementation skills.

🦄I know it’s unlikely to get all these in one candidate. If you were the hiring manager, which 1-2 traits would you prioritize?

For what it's worth I'm a director in industry now. Personally, I would drop the two big 4 criteria. You're looking for someone to do fairly basic accounting and month end close. Anyone with experience can handle it. If you were hiring for someone to do complex accounting I'd get it, but a standard accounting manager.... Big 4 isn't going to add much. If anything it's actually a detriment as that person would have seen less clients and likely was working with an offshore team on the basic stuff you're looking to have them do. I just hired a senior out of pwc who couldn't figure out how to reconcile a cash.

Experience with ERP implementation is way more important and harder to find

Are you going to train this person or do you expect them to know everything going in? If you want someone who is a proven hard worker with professional credibility- go with someone who is a CPA with big 4 senior experience. It's a plus if they have some industry experience as well. But they might need some training on the basic stuff at first but they'll pick it up very quickly.

It takes very little effort to train/give a few examples. But people who have survived in big 4 for multiple years and have gotten senior promotion are incredibly hard working, used to tight deadlines, good communicators, independent, and have leadership abilities. That is not easily taught.

Hello, I recently was reached out to by an in-house recruiter at a similar but slightly different company than the one I currently work for. The recruiter provided a base range and an OTE range. The lower end of that range is what I am currently making. The higher end of that range is almost 200k more than my current comp. The role is almost identical. I wasn’t looking to move, but that higher end range would set my family up very nicely for our goals. But I am happy at my current company. Help?
