A success story - the right fit for your Accounting & Finance team. Finding the right professional for your accounting or finance team isn't just about ticking boxes for technical skills. It's about finding someone who not only manages your finances with precision but also seamlessly integrates into your team's culture, driving collaboration and success. At American Recruiters, I specialize in this delicate balance. Recently, I had the pleasure of sourcing a finance professional for a client with very specific requirements: auditing, budgeting & forecast experience, along with a solid understanding of the general ledger. In addition, but most importantly, a commitment to furthering the core mission of the team. The problem: My client was not finding what they needed through their advertising – receiving many unqualified candidates, compensation mismatches, and those without industry knowledge. This wasn’t an impossible find but it did take some elbow grease. After thorough vetting and numerous interviews, I successfully matched this client with an exceptional candidate who not only met their technical requirements but also shared their passion for their mission. The reveal: this candidate was passive. They were not posting on job boards or running an active search. She has since become an invaluable asset to their finance team, driving efficiency and innovation while aligning seamlessly with their organizational goals. If your advertising is falling flat and not bringing in top talent, we should talk. Working with American Recruiters can streamline your hiring process, give you access to a larger pool of talent, and save you downtime. That’s a win-win-win.  Reach out today to learn more about how I can help. #AccountingRecruitment #CulturalFit #TeamBuilding #bebetter

This is how some companies are managing the accountant shortage... Based on the fact that they got an 85K base for a Staff Accountant role I think it's safe to assume they are in a bigger market where there is stiff competition for accountant & finance talent. To address their original question- "what should I study to show these guys that I'm coachable?" I think it's first important to point out the fact that the company definitely knew this person didn't have a ton of practical accounting experience. They would have seen the resume... This means they already thought this person was coachable or had some potential! So my first comment would be to have more faith in yourself as a candidate! Because the company certainly does. Second- There are tons of resources available on YouTube and other websites that can help teach the basics of accounting that you would be doing in a Staff Accountant type of role. I would recommend binging through the relevant videos (that are recent), to get up to date on trial balances, adjusting journal entries, account reconciliations, accruals, prepaids, and the other blocking and tackling of accounting. What else would you tell them? What are your thoughts on this person making the transition and companies making a hire like this? #accountingandfinance #hiring #talentacquistion #financialconsulting

When you hire someone to run your entire accounting department, you are charging a single person with multiple functions and responsibilities. They are tasked with being your CFO, Accounting Manager, and Transaction Specialist, all roles that are vitally important to the viability and success of your business. But here’s the thing. Those are widely divergent responsibilities that require different skill sets, aptitude, experience, and abilities. One person should not wear all these hats or sit in all these seats. AND depending on the size of your business, you don't need to hire full time positions for each role. The talent pool is FILLED with candidates looking to fill fractional positions and is a great way to get the RIGHT help you need at the RIGHT amount for your business. #CFOservices #accountingoutsourcing #FractionalCFO
