The purpose of this memo is to recommend a recent candidate that was interviewed for the position of an accountant. The candidate that I am referring to is Susan Anthony and she was interviewed on September 10, 2015. Based on her interview, I believe that Susan exemplifies the major qualities of what this branch needs in another accountant.
Mrs. Anthony received her bachelor’s degree in Accounting and Finance at the University of Texas. She then continued her education by getting her masters in Accounting. During this time, she interned at a small company near her college in order to get some hands on experience. Once graduating with her masters, she moved to New York City and began her job search.

Through my questions, I saw that she was an individual who stuck to her promise. From this I gathered that Mrs. Anthony has the upmost respect for obeying orders and believes in being accountable for her actions. Accountants need to be accountable for their actions and be responsible enough to admit if they have made an error without trying to blame someone else.
Mrs. Anthony additionally showed a passion for taking responsibility. After reading her letter of recommendations, one by her old boss, this became evident. He explained how Mrs. Anthony was always up for a challenge and very meticulous at everything she did.

On the other hand, if she was in charge of a group she would excel too. Due to her meticulous nature, I can see her to be an individual which is intolerant of her subordinate’s failure. I believe this to be a great quality as a manager because you cannot take slack and have to know how to put your foot down so that you do not get taken advantage off. She would push her workers to exceed expectations while completing their tasks by the books.
Like everyone, we all have weaknesses. However, I believe that Susan’s weaknesses are minimal and some may even see them as a strength. The first weakness that I observed was that she seems to do everything by the book and does not like to deviate from what she knows is right. However, for the job in which she applied for I believe that this quality should be seen as a strength. Accountants need to know the latest accounting principles as a minor screw up could be detrimental to the company. Therefore, having someone who is by the books is a crucial part of being an
