Additional Context: The prior candidate hired (was on the job assignment 3 months) was released due to lack of attention to detail, continuous errors with basic processes & entries despite their prior experience, and for causing several duplicate payments that caused a ton of re-work to resolve. They also struggled with asking for help and taking direction. The accounting team very much provides training, support, and SOP''s to their new team members. The new resource will need to be a bit stronger in their command of the technical skills of the role and possess a high level of attention to detail. The new resource will also need to be a good team fit, and the HM will screen heavily for this as well.
