the finance & accounting interview playbook

In this episode:

Research Beyond the Job Description: Learn how to go beyond the "About us" page and job description to research a company's financial health and recent news. This signals to interviewers that you're willing to go the extra mile.
Brush Up on Technical Knowledge: Review the basics and ensure your knowledge is current with the latest trends, such as changes in accounting standards, tax laws, and financial technology.
Prepare for Behavioral Questions: Use the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) to answer common behavioral questions in a crisp and compelling way.
Practice Problem-Solving: Prepare for problem-solving tasks like financial analysis or budget planning by reviewing past work experiences, case studies, or online tasks.
Know Your Tools: Showcase your proficiency in financial tools like Excel, QuickBooks, or financial modeling software, especially if they are mentioned in the job description.
Ask Insightful Questions: Prepare questions about the company's financial strategies or upcoming projects to show your enthusiasm and understanding of the role.
Hone Your Presentation Skills: Be ready to display your ability to communicate complex financial data effectively, which is often required in finance and accounting roles.
Follow Up: Send a thank-you note to the interviewer after the interview to stand out from other candidates.
