I sent in my application through Indeed and after about 2-3 weeks I got a call from a recruiter for a phone interview. Then, I had another interview where I met with three different people, this time in person. Following that, I was asked to complete a personality test. It took about two more weeks until I heard back that I got the job.

Had a phone chat with a recruiter from HR. It was pretty fast and to the point, just standard interview stuff and one question about accounting knowledge. They took about a month to let me know about next steps, but I had already moved on to other opportunities by then.
