Senior Accountant Interview Questions

"As a senior accountant, employers are looking for your experience to make you a valuable asset to their company. Thus, interviewers will often ask about the previous duties you had with other employers, what kinds of accounting software you are proficient in, and a few brain teasers that will test your accounting knowledge. In addition, be able to provide examples as to how you work through stressful situations, meet close deadlines, and deal with difficult situations."

What goal do you have for yourself? Like for myself, in two years I want to be CFO. Either that or controller. I told her my own goal for myself but was put down. Unprofessional and rude! By the book type questions such as what's your weakness.

Once I explained my extensive experience, right away they said they only needed someone to generate the financials. And that if I had any questions. That's when I asked what their budget was for an Accounting Manager Senior Accountant in charge of 4 different departments with no support as you will be on your own. That's when they gave a budget figure only a Jr. Accountant would accept.
