Preparing for Accounting and Finance Interviews

Technical, behavioural and situational question types.

Three question types

  • Technical: standards, process steps, reconciliations, formulas.
  • Behavioural: tell me about a time when.
  • Situational: what would you do if.

Build your story bank

Prepare six stories: a deadline, an error you found, a conflict, an improvement, a leadership moment, a failure and what you learnt.

STAR method

  • Situation: brief context.
  • Task: your responsibility.
  • Action: what you did.
  • Result: outcome with numbers.

Technical revision

Revise the core topics for your role, and prepare a two-minute explanation of your most important project.
