How to Hire Me?

1

Communicate your need

When you are looking for fractional/interim accounting service, clearly communicate the responsibilities, timeframe,  and expectations for the role. Identify the specific tasks, projects, and goals.

To determine if a project fits my profile, I usually need five details:

  • Time commitment (days/week or hours/day/week)
  • Work mode (on-site, hybrid 1-2 days, hybrid 3-5 days, or remote)
  • High-level job description (4-5 main tasks)
  • Compensation range (your budget, open to negotiation)

If both parties are interested, we begin the next steps toward an engagement. This process can take 24 hours to several weeks:
