We’ve created this asynchronous interview to thoughtfully and efficiently determine who is best suited for this role — not only based on technical skills, but also alignment with our values, work ethic, and long-term vision.

Excellence is not an act, it is a habit. - Aristotle

This process allows both you and our team to move forward intentionally, while giving you the opportunity to demonstrate your experience in a real and practical way.

What to Prepare Before You Begin

Please review the following carefully before starting:

  • You must be on camera for all questions

  • For four of the five questions, you will be asked to share your screen

  • Ensure you are in a quiet environment with a stable internet connection

  • Have access to QuickBooks Online or example data as needed

  • Plan to complete the interview in one uninterrupted sitting

Recording & Submission Instructions

You will record your responses using Loom.

After recording each response, save your Loom link in a safe place.

What to Expect

You will be presented with five questions, all designed to assess your experience with QuickBooks Online, your problem-solving approach, and how you work through real-world bookkeeping scenarios.

The way you respond will help us understand your level of expertise, attention to detail, and whether this role is a strong mutual fit.

Please take your time and answer thoughtfully. Accuracy, clarity, and reasoning matter more to us than speed.
