      Pros

      The recruiting department has their own little culture, which is great, and the commission structure is nice. They have unlimited PTO, which people think is great, but it really benefits the company more than the employees. And the health benefits SUCK. We have one work from home day, with the exception of Mondays and Fridays (because they don’t have enough trust in their employees), unless you’re in the “boys club”, then you can take Mondays or Fridays as your one WFH day. There is a monthly luncheon and employee of the month day, which really is just a revolving thing, you don’t actually have to go above and beyond to get the award.

      Cons

      Leadership is a complete joke and the positive reviews I see on Glassdoor are comical. There is a common saying around the office, “the [Founder and Chairman] is on one, so watch out”. He will literally go around the office yelling at people and has fired people on the spot. I personally saw our controller being yelled and cursed at in front of the entire accounting department. You would think the CEO and Human Resources would be there as a buffer but nope, they are all on the same toxic team and are only there for their best interest. The list goes on and on. The stories I have would make you cringe. All the wrong people are being promoted, given raises, flexibility in their schedules, going on lavish company trips, overpaid, and favored. The honest, hardworking, loyal employees get shafted, overworked, micromanaged, underpaid, fired, and swept under the rug. (You all know who you are) If you’re looking for somewhere you can be innovative, creative, and appreciated this is not it. If you’re looking for a bottom line driven, toxic boys club where you’ll get stuck by just barely making good money, heavy favoritism, ridiculous non-competes, and bogus promotions (that’s my favorite) you’ll love it! Do yourself a favor, read between the lines and find the consistent negative reviews. That’ll tell you what you need to know.

      Great Opportunity

      Pros

      NOW CFO is a very entrepreneurial company and has provided me many opportunities to advance in my career quickly. The way we do business is relationship based - no hard core selling. It's all about building partnerships. You definitely need to enjoy talking to people for the BD role. The BD role is base + commission. The commission structure is different than other sales jobs in that it steadily increases over time - does not spike up or down quarter to quarter or year to year. It's residuals. My commission has increased about $15k-20k each year for the first 3 years. They are always making improvements and taking suggestions. I have seen a lot of improvements made over the past few years. They just implemented unlimited PTO for this position.

      Cons

      You will see varying reviews depending on what location the reviewer worked in. In the BDR role, its going to be dependent on who the partner is in that market for the most part. It is a very fast growing company with some growing pains and the corporate office is understaffed at times. The BDR role's base pay is really designed for someone only a few years into their career looking for an opportunity to get into BD, not necessarily someone that has 10+ years of experience under their belt.

      Great first job in the accounting industry

      Pros

      I started working with NowCFO during the pandemic. It was not a bad first job in the accounting industry, even though it could be stressful at times. Had great supervisors and very kind and understanding bosses, and usually good clients. If you end up with a bad client or a bad situation, you can usually pass off the client to someone who knows more or is a better fit for the client.

      Cons

      Low pay, made less than $20/hr. Billable hours can be stressful sometimes. Was told it would mostly be remote, but ended up with several in person client expectations after things started reopening during the pandemic. If you end up with a bad client, work can be stressful.

      Hello and thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are happy to hear that you have a great management team that you have learned and gained accounting knowledge from. As the world shifts back to normal and businesses are opening back up expecting in-person services, we do our best to accommodate that. However, we want to also do our best to accommodate our employees who do not feel comfortable with that. Thank you again for your feedback and the work that you do as a consultant.
