I have worked with them a couple times. They are essentially outsourced FP&A that we have used for some of my portfolio companies - e.g., helping to build out financial reporting for the first time. They are like A&M but focused on FP&A and cheaper. Most of their consultants have been former PE or HF guys. We have been pleased with their work each time we have worked with them.

If you are referring to this company: https://www.accordion.com, I have some feedback to share.

I went through the process with them and performed a short modeling test. Their perception of a financial model is quite immature from my perspective. They turned me down because of some errors they claimed in my model, which was not true. Happy to elaborate more! I corrected them that they did not review the model correctly, and they went silent after I pointed out that they made a mistake pointing out my errors. 

People I interviewed with seemed quite nice, but I am sure you will realize that an interviewer who has interviewed 10 candidates for the same role will have a look on their face saying "Ok say your words, then move on. I do not want to do this interview as much as you do". You just have to keep smiling and make it look positive.

If you are in a process with them, I would say that it can be a waste of time given that they did not admit their flaws in the process. At that point, I knew I would never pursue an employment with them given the situation. Of course, if this is your only interview on the table, take it and roll with it.
