I have found that when going for an accounting/finance analyst interview, its a damn good idea to look into their latest Financial statements (if its a publicly listed company). It includes everything from CEO & Chairman notes noting the strategic direction the company is taking, types of risks faced by company and mitigative actions taken, as well as the different revenue streams (more details on products/services, even by geography) - not to mention financial performance of the year comparing to previous. Gives a very robust view of the company, plus you will be able to speak their language (meaning using terms specific for the company). Just my thoughts!

Thank you for creating such informational youtube videos. They're very resourceful, because they're so well thought out! The tiniest details that are mentioned actually give me a more wholesome view and understanding on accounting. Your visuals are so great at depicting what you're saying and adds emphasis. Very well done!

These are interesting videos. I do a lot of hiring, sometimes directly from college or after only a few years of experience for entry-level types. One bit of advice I have for anyone reading this is remember they have something specific in mind. It may not be you. Don't take it personally.

The best advice aside from what is offered in this video is to just be yourself, and hope that they like that person. Don't try to be what you think they want. First of all, you may not be correct, second of all you're not going to be comfortable and therefore you'll come off as fake. The interviewer has a good idea what they're looking for, be yourself and if that's what they're looking for they'll hire you. If you try to be someone else and they hire you thinking you're someone else, sooner or later that'll come out and it'll be an unpleasant experience for all of you. Also, what if what they were looking for you was the genuine you? You just blew an interview because you weren't who you really are.

Best accounting interview tips! Thank you so much for sharing these precious experiences with us, Bill. I do have a question as a previous accountant and auditor who hope to get great advice from you. I'm planning to do FP&A related job and want to know more about it. Is there any additional things I need to prepare for that job and what you think about accountant changing field to FP&A?

Will you please consider making a video on the career path you would recommend for those students who want to gain practical education and work experience to ultimately prepare themselves for starting and growing their own firm? I would really appreciate this kind of video since most accounting videos focus on becoming the best employee wo discussing a strategy for developing an end goal of preparing oneself to become self employed. Thankyou!
