Welcome to the Escaping the Accountants Trap podcast, a resource designed to liberate accountants, CPAs, and bookkeepers from the notorious 'accountant's trap.' This frustrating predicament often sees professionals toil endlessly with demanding clients for meager compensation. But fear not, as this podcast unveils the escape route. In this episode, we explore the critical strategy of thoroughly assessing prospective team members through testing before hiring, ensuring you welcome the right individuals aboard. Join Adam Lean in this insightful journey to emancipate accounting professionals from the accountant's trap.

In this episode, we welcome Giles Pearson, the CEO of Account Test, a solution dedicated to enhancing the hiring process for accountants. We explore why it's paramount for accounting firms to test prospects before extending an offer.

Discover how testing not only reveals the true capabilities of prospective candidates but also streamlines their integration into your team. Giles Pearson, with his extensive background in public accounting, provides invaluable insights into this innovative approach.
