Frequently asked questions
What does an accountant do on a day-to-day basis?
Accountants handle core financial operations including recording transactions in the general ledger, reconciling bank and credit card statements, managing accounts payable and receivable, preparing financial statements, and supporting audit activities. They ensure accurate financial data flows through the organization and may assist with month-end or year-end closing processes, depending on the role level.
What certifications or qualifications do we look for in candidates?
Many accountants hold a bachelor's degree in accounting or finance, and some have advanced certifications like CPA, CMA, or CIA. However, experience and technical competency matter just as much. ECLARO places candidates across experience levels—from staff accountants building foundational skills to senior accountants with 5+ years of experience and specialized expertise in areas like accounts payable, fixed assets, or compliance.
How does hiring through ECLARO work for accounting roles?
ECLARO vets candidates for technical accounting knowledge, software proficiency, and communication skills before presenting them to your organization. We handle the recruitment process, allowing your team to focus on operations. Whether you need a contract accountant for a temporary project, a temp-to-permanent hire, or a full-time placement, ECLARO manages the hiring logistics and ensures a strong cultural and skill fit for your finance team.
What accounting software should candidates be familiar with?
QuickBooks (Online and Desktop) is the most common platform, but strong candidates are also familiar with Excel, accounting ERPs, and cloud-based tools. Many larger organizations use systems like NetSuite, SAP, or Sage. ECLARO candidates typically demonstrate core accounting knowledge that translates across platforms, making them adaptable regardless of your specific software stack.
