Accountant interview questions: the 8 to ask

An accountant keeps the company's books and ensures the accounts are reliable.

  1. 1.How do you prepare a month-end close?
  2. 2.How do you resolve a bank reconciliation difference?
  3. 3.Which year-end adjustments do you post?
  4. 4.How do you handle a supplier chasing a late payment?
  5. 5.How do you keep VAT reliable?
  6. 6.Which Excel functions do you use daily?
  7. 7.How do you work with auditors?
  8. 8.Tell me about an error you caught in time.

Tip: for every answer, ask for a concrete example (situation, action, result). An answer without an example is worth half.
