Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between an Accounting Manager and a Controller?
An Accounting Manager manages the daily ledger entry, close processes, and transactional teams (AP/AR). A Controller oversees the entire accounting system, designs internal controls, coordinates audits, and leads tax/regulatory compliance.
How do you vet candidates on GAAP compliance?
We present accounting scenarios (e.g., complex revenue recognition, lease accounting) to ensure they can research and document decisions accurately.
