Question 1
How would you handle the competing needs of different clients?
I interviewed at Your Part-Time Controller, LLC (Philadelphia, PA)
Interview
Very rigorous, 4 interviews (screening, testing, manager and then director). The screening is the most difficult for people to get past. However, if you can get past that and you actually are an accountant you can pass the testing and then the interviews are very detailed.
