Wanted to ask this here as well…when starting a new position where policies and procedures are still being worked out and worked through… where is the best place to begin as you step into your new role? Aside from running through a period or 2 of financials, what other things should an incoming accountant do to get acclimated?

Learn their systems.

Learn their operating systems, accounting systems, industry verbiage, etc.

For example, if they use Quickbooks, start watching videos on YouTube. Look into special items on their financials.. such as if they get grant funding, look into grant reporting. If they have special treatment of inventory, etc. First few months is all of this regardless of company.

It got me thinking about how many people adhere to this advice.
