I found another Antipodian at Scaling New Heights and this one this one shares my surname and initials. What are the chances Guy Pearson? Good to catch up with what Ignition are up to. Missed Jamie Beresford but Elise Bentley was there for Practice Protect and interesting to hear how a change in approach as worked well for Australian firms here. Always learning. #snh24 #hirefastwithconfidence

I’ve been to some inspiring conferences in the last few weeks, including AICPA Engage, Scaling New Heights and CPA Firm Management Association. There has been a theme at each conference around remote work and managing your remote team. With things settling down between fully remote and hybrid it’s good to see if the way you’re operating now is going to work long term. How are you actively managing your remote team? We just started 'Walking Meetings' here at Accountests - sounds odd but it's perfect for remote workers #hirefastwithconfidence #aicpa #aicpaengage #snh24 #cpafma https://lnkd.in/g-cR6KSE

Sharing interview questions? This article does a good job of Pros and Cons of this and some ideas of middle ground. I still struggle when you’ve got a high quality personality assessment, and you want to dig in - sharing questions can never be the right answer. Any thoughts Michael Blakley?
Is giving interview questions early a game-changer? Giving candidates interview questions in advance has its pros and cons. On one hand, it reduces anxiety and encourages inclusivity. On the other, it risks over-preparation and reduces spontaneity. Recruiters need to find the right balance for fair and effective hiring. #FairHiring #InclusiveRecruitment #InterviewBestPractices

Scaling New Heights is over and I’ve also attended CPAFMA Conference in Savannah (it’s a great event btw). I enjoyed profiling Accountests at these events. Much better to onboard the right accountants and those you understand. I didn’t embarrass myself with any dancing but very much admire Nancy McClelland CPA, MAFM ability to be amazing at both! #hirefastwithconfidence #snh24 #cpafma
