I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Your Part-Time Controller, LLC (New York, NY) in Sept 2016
Interview
It was a very informal environment. More like a discussion. I was comfortable throughout the process. It started was a small, basic level test, followed with questions aimed at assessing my fit into the organization. Personal aspects such as commute to various client locations were also discussed. The current norms in the not for profit sector were also discussed, with the ways to address the challenges.

I interviewed at Your Part-Time Controller, LLC (Philadelphia, PA)
Interview
Very rigorous, 4 interviews (screening, testing, manager and then director). The screening is the most difficult for people to get past. However, if you can get past that and you actually are an accountant you can pass the testing and then the interviews are very detailed.
