Pros

Flexibility and ok pay with benefits

Cons

This firm presents itself as a go to solution for accounting and finance needs. The website lists a number of services that NowCFO in theory performs. In reality, it is a bunch of low level accountants that only know how to do basic accounting tasks. Anything above a controller level for a small private company (read: anything outside of basic accounting tasks) and they do not have ANYONE with experience and knowledge. Typical consultants are someone who takes a job for a year or so until they find someone else; turnover is incredible. This is a company of 200 consultants with a turnover over 50% is my guess. Customer service is nonexistent. The only focus is on billing hours; if quality of work is not what is expected, they will never accept responsibility. Partners are a joke - same low level accountants; hard to understand why they would be viewed by anyone in the business community as credible sources of knowledge and expertise. Business Development Representatives in many cases are embarrassing - a bunch of women who know nothing about the industry or applicable requirements. They utter nonsense most of the time; it is simply embarrassing when that happens in front of a client or business contacts. All that matters is sales and screw the clients.

Commute can be a pain but they recently allowed corporate employees a hybrid schedule which was a cultural game changer.
