Accounting Manager Interview Questions

1,650 accounting manager interview questions shared by candidates

1st Round = Basic HR/Talent Team questions 2nd Round = Batshit Excel Test found on the Internet that does not apply to Accounting in the least - Present day CFO is sadly shown off as a very difficult person to work with via the methods they use. Pro-Tip for those interviewing for the gig (if you really want/need the job) - put your head down during the "assessment" and just slowly follow the instructions - also the CFO doesn't know "Concatenate" or "Convert" formulas for things that come up during it, also know how to easily manipulate data in a Pivot Table (quickly as she'll judge you on doing things slow) and possibly IF statements as there's 1 of those on there too.

Very detailed questions, very technical. One was -Explain and walk me through a moment where you were encountered a difficult problem and what was the outcome. While talking through that I was asked specific questions about each step.
