I had an accounting interview and they said they have some problems. They can not close 2013 because the previous accountant who was out of school did not finish and / or screwed up the bank recs. A few other accounts are not finished yet. They need someone to come in, close 2013, continue with 2014 and once that is accomplished create better ways of doing things. It is a small department with the Controller, this vacated position and that is it. I'm guessing they are far behind since it's just him. I currently started a contract position, and they invited me to a second interview. I think I'm going to pass even though I need a permanent job. Chances are it's worse than they are saying. I don't think I'm going to get the proper support and it will be all on me.
What do others think?

If it's cash basis- it's easy. Statements from 13'
If it's accrual, I'd be looking for big $$$ to fix that nightmare.
Yes, it's accrual. The thing is though for the financials not to be closed, there has to be material defects that have to be diagnosed and corrected. Seems like if it's easy, it would have been corrected by now.
Seems like they keep blaming the people past, and maybe they left because it was an enormous mess. If it does not get fixed to their satisfaction, you will be added to the growing list of people who's fault it is.
- Is it doable at all(do you have enough experience and time to do it), if "yes",
- how big/difficult/time critical this project is, depending on this,
- how much you would like to be paid(hourly or for a project).
Keep in mind, they probably well aware by now in WHAT they are swimming and may be reasonable in regards to compensation to fix the problem.
It may require from you heavy work on evenings/weekends, but if you could keep both jobs it may be rewarding in several ways.
