First time I've heard a positive review about a company being run by the bean counters, who are generally more known for being brought in and cutting tiny luxuries which don't generate money or make financial sense, like free sodas in the break room.

“Being brought in” could be the crucial difference, yeah? When a company starts with beans on staff from the start, maybe there’s more of a sense of security

They're accountants, but I wouldn't call them "bean counters". They have a vision for the office of the CFO, and it's that the accounting team rises above mere bean counting into financial leadership. The company was also a VC-backed startup and is on the road to IPO, so it's run like an investment, not a cost center -- and hiring and keeping great employees is a priority. The perks and benefits are really great. It has won awards for the last ~5 years for being the "best company to work for in $region".
