In question number 4 I would have, as a candidate, asked if the equipment was bought on cash or credit. In practice, most equipment is initially bought on credit, especially if it's some expensive equipment.

Love your videos. They’re super helpful and everything you say makes sense.

[hl]

Wow!!! This is so helpful! I loved your examples. Especially for me as a second language it’s harder to understand the situation but you give examples so it makes sense.

[cocoshuimu]

WOW Thank you so much for this guideline. I recently went through a similar question on my previous involvement in resign process for improvement and it was conducted by a machine-based video with limited time for response. I was obviously not ready for that :(

[RachidRachid-dfhw]

Very helpful information presented on a simple way, thanks Hana

[hirakhan]

A very informational video, thank you and happy new

[anvershahas]

for the first question, with reference to the modern ERP framework, my answer would be 1 ledger and 3 subledgers.

[Ruinoz]

Great video ! You mentioned about an API that you created to facilitate the recording of expenses in quickbooks. In the company I work for, we also use expensify and our accounting software is SAP. I am entering all expenses manually currently. What is this API that I could also implement so that I save time for more important stuff ?

[kirstinfields]

I watched the videos and after some interviews, I got a good job offer. They helped in combination with working with the right recruiter and working toward my certification.

[joyk]

It would be wonderful if you can make a video for Accounting Manager or Assistant controller :) thank you so much kind sir.

[anooopmurali]

Great content and nice presentation 🎉 as usual 🔥

[JoeJames]

On the first question, I would have answered 1 ledger, 3 accounts. I refer to the general ledger as where all the accounts are listed. I don't refer to the general ledgers. The basic statement that each bank account has 1, either ledger or account, is the point.

[AngelRse]

WOW, these questions are already for senior position but those question are used in my interview for bookeeper position.

[yinyinhtay]

Thank you so much, this video was so much helpful. 🙏

[adnanwaqarsyed]

Your videos are really informative and helpful.

[Sers]

Your videos are very useful, thank you. I want to improve myself in the field of IFRS reporting. Is there a resource you can recommend for this? I miss many job opportunities that I want to apply because I have no experience and knowledge.
