3. Decide where the person can work. 14% of today’s technical accounting and financial reporting postings are remote and 14% hybrid. If yours is remote, name the countries or time zones; “remote” alone brings applications you cannot accept.
4. Post it where people look. Post the job free on this site, add it to your own careers page and send it to people you know who do this work.
5. Screen for the skills that matter. Today’s postings name Excel most often: check them in the work, not only in the resume. Score every candidate on the same points with the interview scorecard; the technical accounting and financial reporting interview questions show what good candidates prepare for.
6. Decide quickly. Half of today’s open technical accounting and financial reporting postings have been up more than 41 days: a candidate who waits for your answer may be talking to other employers meanwhile. Tell every candidate when you will decide, and keep to it.

• Use a real, anonymised task from your own work: the kind of problem the person will meet in the first month.
• Keep it to two or three hours, say so, and pay for anything longer.
• Ask for three things: the result, how they got there, and one recommendation or next step.
• Score every answer on the same points: correctness, clarity, judgement and the use of Excel.
• Talk it through in the next interview: how they explain their choices tells as much as the result.
• Not sure yet? A short paid trial project or a contract-to-hire term lets both sides check the fit.
