Starting to interview for more senior finance analyst roles. After my first one, I quickly realized that despite how confident in the behavioural section, I would always stumble on the technical stuff as my current day-to-day role is very basic and data entry like at most.

Oh ya. 3 months ago i used your materials to prepare for a finance analyst role interview and i got the job. Thanks for the useful tips!

It is crazy that 2 of these questions came up at my last interview.

[sayadghani]

For a 1st question the best answer should be to look at IRR, NPV, project IRR vs Equity IRR based of FCFf vs FCFE

From 800 to 80k to 800k. Awesome content! Keep it up :)
Would be nice to have a long video that breaks down the whole Finance department in a SaaS company. High-level - helpful for recruiters and people who are thinking about a career in Finance. I might work on something like this but you are an expert so you'd do a much better job :)

Keep it up!

The only hard thing with gross margin being the main KPI is that everyone calculates their gross margin differently depending what they consider to be COGS. Some people will put in sales commisions, gasoline, truck payments etc. whereas other companies won't put those things in.

So when comparing companies I find that sometime hard, as what people consider putting into COGS varies depending on the owners and accountants. Great video though! Love your content.

For question 4, you would also see the dividends on the cash flow statement (financing activities). Also, don't ask for a pen and paper at an interview. Be prepared and bring both!

[rachelxiao]

Oh, love the recap part at the end! Thank you!

[OmarAl]

Thanks a lot Bell. You have been in so many ways very inspiring. Small hint 9:00 EBITDA is not operating profit if I’m not mistaken EBIT is operating Profit. :)

Your channel is doing great! Keep up the good work. Would you have some tips for tricky and more senior FP&A interview questions? Thank you!

[filippostk]

Just to clarify something. For question one doesnt that depend on the underlying need of the company? Eg. if the company wants to hedge its operations then it be better of at looking at the Beta of the asset

Great question & answers. Question answer should be increase in credit sales aside the collection challenge mentioned. My thinking. Thank you.

I'm not sure but for government, it's more of priority skills, do you have any recommendations for how to prioritize your task? How to work with internal and external stake holders?
