Hi Rebecca — thanks for the review!

Rubbish company. I set up a profile with them and interviewed with one of their clients for a role. They 1) didn’t get back to me and 2) take 50% of the rate they quote to the client which is just insanely high. I’ve worked with 2 other contracting/freelance firms now and the process has been a lot more seamless and much more lucrative. Another thing that is just super odd is that they sit in on your interview with the client which has literally never been the case for any other similar roles I’ve had.

Rubbish. Scam. Change your name from PARO to PARA as an abbreviation for parasite.

There is zero accountability with the contractors they hire; they only act if you threaten to cancel the membership as otherwise they have no incentive to help. They ignored my emails for months and then only acted when I sent my cancellation notice. I would definitely not recommend using them for any accounting/bookkeeping or other services.

This company needs to improve the process on how paro contracts bid for the jobs. The account manager need to update the status of job openings in a more timely cadence. There also needs to be more of an explanation why a paro contractor didn't win the bid versus the auto generated email that makes no sense. This is one of the worst freelance accounting companies I've worked for and wouldn't recommend future potential paro contractors to come work for this company.

Hi Ronnie, thank you for taking the time to share this feedback. We understand your concerns around the pitching and notification process and want to assure you that enhancing this experience for our experts is a top priority. We recently rolled out an enhancement to the proposal cards to show the number of pitches already received on a particular project. We know there is still room for improvement and are committed to identifying and making any additional changes where needed. We always welcome feedback from our experts on ways we can improve and grow, and we appreciate you sharing yours.

Our experience with Paro has been great. Harris was a pleasure to work with, he understood our needs and was willing to spend as long as it took to find the right fit. The bookkeeping team that we went with is exactly who we were looking for, they understand e-commerce, retail and manufacturing. We're so excited to grow our business with Paro and their partners.
