Here's my two cents, for what it is worth. The job post was initially in March, was it not? By beginning of March the books for 2021 should have been closed; and the staff accountant is focused on month end closes. What remains is the internal and external audits, the analysis various reports and filings; this is done by Sr. Accountants, Assistant Controller and Controller. If the staff accountant quit in March, it should have no bearing on YE close.
Now, an urgency for hire before the former accountant leaves for cross training is smart. Bringing someone into a cold seat causes for a lot of process misses. They need this accountant in place to close the books for Q1FY22.
Is there a rule which states when they need to publish ER date? Also, with a new audit firm, it could be there may be a delay in reporting, but don't they have until the 30th or 31st to file the extension?
I wouldn't mind helping CVSI ou, but we're both (hubby and I) now retired, and I hadn't thought about working. Who knows, with this economy, I may need to return to work.
