Are you talking about merely verifying your past and current employment dates and positions held or are you talking about them inquiring deeper into your past work performance?

I would include it. Just month and year.

I assume that it just verify previous employment dates is that correct ?

Likely so. They typically want to confirm that you actually worked there during the time you said. Some will ask for references that they will try to get to talk about you. Pro tip: tell your references to refuse to answer additional questions about work quality. The callers will just give up and mark it as completed.

A quick note about what I’ve experienced, in my decade long career, is the real advantage of MBB or FAANG - it gives you a shot at stretch roles that are outside your expertise. Not all the time or even most of the time compared to better candidates with specific experience for the role but gives you this wildcard shot at a vast array of opportunities.

Are private companies easier to work at than public companies in accounting? We have such an accelerated close deadline at the publicly traded company I’m at now, I really hate the inflexible tight deadlines and analysis seems to drag on forever after that. We also close AP/AR very early in the month yet that doesn’t stop payments/receipts from happening so we’re constantly adjusting our accruals until the end of month. Do private companies start their close after the month actually ends?
