I was matched pretty much instantly upon joining the Paro platform with a firm that matched what I was looking for nearly 100%. I was very please at how quickly and efficiently I was matched to a position that fit what I wanted. I am now on my 3rd contract with Paro, with the same firm, signing 6 month contracts in succession. With the help of Paro I am able to negotiate with the Firm what I want, and it feels good to take control back from these large firms who, in the past, I often felt taken advantage of. Being a contractor has given me the flexibility to work remotely and on my own terms, something I was not able to accomplish as an auditor working for big 4 firms. I have really enjoyed having the flexibility to make my own schedule, my own pay rate, and my own hours.

For the most part, the experience has been great. Joshua Dominguez has been great to work with. However, I have repeatedly requested to update the email in my profile (it does not allow me to do it) yet it has not been done. Some people never respond to questions.

The company provides plenty of support upfront in both project sourcing and onboarding.

I appreciated the opportunity to work with Cray Kaiser and look forward to future opportunities.

The network is effective in assisting with supplementing an existing book of business, or even as a primary source of business if freelancing. My only recommendations for process improvement would be a more visible resource for freelancers if they have administrative issues or questions. On more than one occasion I've had a difficult time finding personnel that can assist with administrative issues such as inquiring about a non-receipt of a 1099, Paro's EIN, underpayment, etc. Additionally, I find that I sometimes have two or even three separate individuals/departments asking the same questions about the status of projects, as though internal communication needs improvement. For example, if an open project has fewer hours in a given month than usual, on more than one occasion I've received an email from an individual or department asking for an explanation, which I then provide, followed by yet another department or individual asking the very same question, and even possibly a third individual/department. I have begun simply forwarding the initial correspondence to the subsequent inquiries for which I previously took the time to document. This is indicative of internal siloing.

I've been with Paro for 4 years and absolutely love the company! I opened my bookkeeping business 5 years before joining Paro and can say that Paro has definitely helped me to grow my business in a way that no other marketing firm could have. I highly recommend the network to other CPAs and bookkeepers!

Almost immediately after signing the SOW information arose and I needed to dissolve the SOW. It's private, but it's certainly a circumstance that should have been respected. Instead of voiding the contract after hearing of this, they're holding my company to it and 60 additional days of service. I would go as far as to call it inhumane "support". The CPA accidentally deleted a document on call, everything was rushed, just a terrible experience with this company.
