Pros

Not a single good experience with NowCFO as a consultant. The work was marginalized as serving restaurants, vegan, and small mom and pop Quickbooks companies. Company does not value experience and perspective doesn't count when compared to other peers within NowCFO with considerably less experience and knowledge in accounting.

Cons

I don't have four hours, so I'll be brief: 1. Partners automatically discount work product, paints highly degraded picture of work being provided. 2. Peers are glorified book keepers, no sense of US GAAP, best practices in accounting or common sense. You feel as if these are community college children who know how to spell Quickbooks. 3. Partner will throw staff under there the bus at a moments notice without discussion and without provocation. 4. Partner does not know how to manage clients expectations, only going for billable hours and partner will not care for input from staff or perspective. 5. The NowCFO Organization reeks of desperation and uses pricing to attain market presence. Pricing is manipulated to entice in short term, long term there is no value as the perception of the service is cheap. 6. Partners are hostile toward employees. 7. Salaries employees are treated and paid as hourly, don't bother complaining as that will only lead to retaliation.

NOW CFO Response
5y
Thank you for taking time to leave feedback. We highly value input from all of our employees, and are constantly seeking to make improvements, especially for Consultants. Since Consultants are the face of the company, we provide training to help them balance NOW CFO administrative tasks alongside client work. Consultants are central to everything we do at NOW CFO, and our management takes the time to hold frequent calls with Consultants and clients to ensure that their work is successful. Some of our main 2021 initiatives focus around the Consultant and making sure that they feel appreciated, recognized, and valued for what they do. Though we can not guarantee that every Consultant will be an ideal fit for our fast-paced organization, we do have multiple processes in place to make the employee experience as best as it can be. We are sorry to hear that your time with us was less than ideal, but know that we are always striving to make positive changes.
