These questions could literally be answered by someone who paid attention in Elementary Accounting/Principles of Accounting. Makes me feel better lol. Thanks Bill!

One other measure of success I feel in AP is identifying and successfully obtaining any discounts for timely payments. Another interesting function... some roles may have to be aware of contract terms and monitor, track and accrue for rebates due back to the company.

As I am watching this video right now while prepping for my interview for today it gives me much confidence in myself. I feel like these are simple questions for me through my accounting experience. Thank you.
Also, I wanted to note how your videos are so clear and short. The way you explain everything is so easy and displaying the list on your screen of the questions and answers in summary is so easy to follow along I don't even have to pause the video. I feel like you would make a very good professor in college.

Credit memo well look at the vocabulary across the pond. in the UK and Commonwealth it is called a credit note. In the USA allocation and apportionment seem to be used to mean the same.Not so in the UK.

Thank you, Bill! When I first started as a Jr. Accountant.... It was more of a Jr. Controller. This video helped me out so much as to gain clarity. I feel reassured of my knowledge and skill set, now.

I have the 2nd in-person interview this week for the staff accountant, I really hope they pick me, but very nervous about what they will ask me because I will meet the same people I met in the first interview. I have been watching your videos and really appreciate your help.

[peonyteeny]

[pennymwesigye]

Bill I love your videos and am subscribed as you consistently put out great content! I had a question - I have six years of AR and AP experience and recently passed all four CPA exams. I have not held a title as a staff accountant yet all of my titles were AP/AR specialist. For my next job, should I apply to Staff Acct roles or aim a little higher since I will have my CPA and am not fresh out of college? Also, feel free to not reply as I know it’s not your job to give career advice but if you do thank you so much and regardless will keep watching your content!
