I have found that when going for an accounting/finance analyst interview, its a damn good idea to look into their latest Financial statements (if its a publicly listed company). It includes everything from CEO & Chairman notes noting the strategic direction the company is taking, types of risks faced by company and mitigative actions taken, as well as the different revenue streams (more details on products/services, even by geography) - not to mention financial performance of the year comparing to previous. Gives a very robust view of the company, plus you will be able to speak their language (meaning using terms specific for the company). Just my thoughts!

These are interesting videos. I do a lot of hiring, sometimes directly from college or after only a few years of experience for entry-level types. One bit of advice I have for anyone reading this is remember they have something specific in mind. It may not be you. Don't take it personally. The best advice aside from what is offered in this video is to just be yourself, and hope that they like that person. Don't try to be what you think they want. First of all, you may not be correct, second of all you're not going to be comfortable and therefore you'll come off as fake. The interviewer has a good idea what they're looking for, be yourself and if that's what they're looking for they'll hire you. If you try to be someone else and they hire you thinking you're someone else, sooner or later that'll come out and it'll be an unpleasant experience for all of you. Also, what if what they were looking for you was the genuine you? You just blew an interview because you weren't who you really are.

Thank you so much for all the tips! I highly appreciate the insight you bring.

Best accounting interview tips! Thank you so much for sharing these precious experiences with us, Bill. I do have a question as a previous accountant and auditor who hope to get great advice from you. I'm planning to do FP&A related job and want to know more about it. Is there any additional things I need to prepare for that job and what you think about accountant changing field to FP&A?

Will you please consider making a video on the career path you would recommend for those students who want to gain practical education and work experience to ultimately prepare themselves for starting and growing their own firm? I would really appreciate this kind of video since most accounting videos focus on becoming the best employee wo discussing a strategy for developing an end goal of preparing oneself to become self employed. Thankyou!

Great video for a the backbone of an interview.

Thank you for your advice.

Muchas gracias!!!

Hi Ben, thank u for your effort. Should I ask any questions in the final interview with director?

Thanks for your help

I have my final interview tomorrow as accounting staff. This is my first time in your channel and I already subscribed. Great content Sir. I really appreciate you. Thank you.

Thank you

If I was interviewing for an accounting position and the candidate was asking "what is the next exciting product that you have", what is your strategy for the next 5 years" etc I would suspect that they were sent by a competitor on a fishing expedition.

I subscribed your channel and watched a lot of your videos. They are very useful for me as a job seeker now. Thank you so much! I worked as a corporate accountant for a small company for over 6 years and I obtained my CPA license during the years. Now I got a great opportunity to interview with a large organization for a accounting supervisor position. I am wondering if you can give me some tips for my upcoming interview. Since I never worked for a large organization or a CPA firm, I feel less confident in front of a large organization. I also haven't yet used SAP system, because Quickbooks was sufficient for my last work. Any advice will be appreciated!

Thanks for posting this! I was just rehearsing my stories and behavioral responses

Your videos are useful.Give some tips to crack PWC and other big4 interview for CPA

glade to see that you are helping struggles could you give the information about the interview round like quantitative attitude,Hr round and technical round. i just got degree in MBA finance because i have no idea to the job interview process of MNC.

Dear sir is here any video of your regarding dressed up for interview I didn't see it.

I havnt worked as a financial controller before. How can I argue that I'm still worth hiring? what do I need to say?

Wonderful tips thank u & sir can u post a video of how to send email format for a job application ?

Tomorrow is my first interview since I graduated, I’m bit scared and I feel like I’m not ready.. The interviewer is an English native speaker and I’m not 😓 let’s see what is gonna happen

got an interview in 3 days, been studying all of your vids. Thank you.

Hi Bill, thanks for your great contribution. I have 2 questions that I find them hard to answer in my case, so could you pls help me ? 1) Question regarding candidates' weakness. If I'm an introvert person, should I mention that is my weakness? Do u think a manager would wanna hire an introvert accountant? If that's a bad thing that an accountant should not have, then how can I mention this as my weakness without losing the chance to get hired? 2) Question about career path. If a manager ask me if I will pursue a CPA designation in the near future, and I don't actually wanna take that path anytime soon (not because I'm lazy, I just don't think my brain can handle that stuff), then what could be the smart way to response without making them think I have no ambition and thus leave a bad impression on them.

Thank

Hi Bill - I’m noticing a couple of my recent interviews to be extremely laid back and the interviewer didn’t ask many technical or behavioral questions. Do you have any insight as to whether this is a new interviewing trend; I.e simply having a conversation with the candidate? Thanks

Thank you for your videos! 🙏🏼♥️

If you are to choose between precision vs efficiency, which one is better?

I want to ask how to answer these questions could you tell me yourself? and what's your strength? I am prepared for an interview with an NGO?

Interviewer: How much is 1 + 1? Candidate: 2! Interviewer: Don't call us, we'll call you. Interviewer to 2nd candidate: How much is 1+1? 2nd Candidate: He gets up, close the door and the curtain blinds, sit back down and says: "What do you want it to be?" Interviewer: "Your hired!" Good luck to anyone wanting a career in accounting. I personally don't like bean counting as it's a real boring field. And beyond the BS of why you chose accounting as a career, the real deep motivation is making money.

i have a plan to quit my Job because of the environment the company so am looking a videos that guide me for the coming interview..

Hard to do step 2 when it’s an unlisted job; so no job description…

I chose accounting because I don't wanna be homeless 😂

Yup I’m cooked

Be yourself. No no, honey, not like that 😂😂lol jkkk

Am I the only one who recognizes that he said job doodies instead of duties? 💩🤦‍♀️

i want to add you on linkedin...cant find you
