How do you evaluate the performance of an accountant?

Evaluating the performance of an accountant involves assessing their accuracy, efficiency, and adherence to deadlines in financial reporting and compliance tasks. Key performance indicators (KPIs) such as error rates, timeliness of submissions, and feedback from audits can provide insights into their effectiveness. Additionally, evaluating their ability to communicate financial information clearly and support decision-making processes is crucial. Regular performance reviews and professional development opportunities also contribute to a comprehensive evaluation.
