Looking for a Bookkeeper

Bruce: Have you finished the balance sheets yet?
Alice: I’ve been working on them since 10 this morning. I’m almost done.

Bruce: No need to rush. I don’t need them until tomorrow morning.
Alice: Janet told me we’re looking for a new bookkeeper. Is that true?

Bruce: Yes, We’ve been looking, but no luck yet.
Alice: I know someone who’d be perfect.

Bruce: Oh really, does she have any experience?
Alice: Of course, she’s been working for Smith CPA and Co. since 2004.

Bruce: Great. Ask her to come in for an interview. 
Alice: Sounds good. She’s not too happy in her current position. I’m sure she’ll be interested in interviewing for the job.

Bruce: Oh, I almost forgot to ask … have you opened the new accounts at Wells Fargo?
Alice: Yes, I have. Here are the account numbers, PIN number, and paperwork.

Bruce: Thanks. Well, let me know when you finish those balance sheets.
Alice: Sure, I should be done soon.
