Did you know?
SDK can help you hire a bookkeeper or controller!  
It's easy as 1, 2, 3!!

First, SDK will discuss the specific needs of your business and the qualifications necessary for the accounting position in your company. Each business has different needs and we tailor our services to meet those needs. 

Second, SDK will write a custom ad for your business needs. We will post the ad to the appropriate media venues, receive and review the resumes.

Third, SDK will contact potential candidates and schedule interviews.  We will conduct the first round of interviews specifically looking for the necessary accounting skills required for your business. We will recommend the top candidates who possess the skills required. You conduct the second round of interviews, focused on the person, their personality and the "right fit" for your company.

 

Let us help you find your next accounting person!! Contact Pam Brackeen or any member of accounting services.
