Testimonial

“

"Our bottleneck was the same every month: receipts, invoices, and 'we'll reconcile later.' After we brought in finance support, the books stopped being a surprise. Clean reconciliations, organized records, and numbers that were ready when we needed them."

Questions Hiring Managers Ask Before Hiring a Finance Specialist

1. What’s the difference between a Finance Specialist and an Accountant?

A Finance Specialist focuses on day-to-day financial operations: invoicing, AP/AR, cash flow monitoring, and reporting. An Accountant goes deeper into bookkeeping accuracy, financial statement preparation, and compliance. Many companies need both. Some start with one.

2. What accounting software do they work with?

QuickBooks Online, Xero, FreshBooks, Wave, NetSuite, Sage, and more. We match based on your current stack.

3. Can they handle payroll processing?

They can manage payroll inputs, track hours, and coordinate with your payroll provider such as Gusto, ADP, or Rippling. Direct payroll processing depends on your setup and compliance requirements.

4. How do you ensure accuracy with financial data?

Our 6-stage vetting includes skills assessments specific to financial operations. Your Finance Specialist is also supported by a Talent Coach for ongoing quality checks and upskilling.

5. Will they work directly with our accountant or CPA?

Yes. Your Finance Specialist prepares clean data, organized records, and formatted reports that reduce the time and cost of external CPA engagements.
