Brother, you’re life saver . Keep doing gods work ! ( I got the job )
Even though this is super basic stuff it's easy to forget exactly what to say after years. I've developed tunnel vision on only very specific things and these questions would have tripped me up. Thanks for the refresher!
Who else is watching this amazing guy right before an interview?
Dear sir would you please make some more videos like this one. your videos does lot to increase my knowledge about accounting . Arif, From Bangladesh
Sure!
You work so hard and give such important insights to us

Can I get job if I know these basics
Case studies may appear or applying your excel knowledge to an example

Lol. You’re such a troll. No such thing as a junior controller
@@mauricioalejandro74 Dude, every company is different, in mine there was 1 junior controller as they hired someone with less experience that normal controller.
@@damianmysciak3264 I mean I’m sure mom n pop businesses throw that term around to fill in a open position quicker
@@mauricioalejandro74 i got the job :). As for mom n pop businesses, it's an 11.000 employee corporation.

Hello, I Love your Chanel,.. I just got promoted to accountant role moving from AP. I have uni accounting degree just wondering if I have to get CPA as I have kids and family it seems really hard to pass CPA… without CPA can I be a Accountant if I ever want to work somewhere else?
Many Thanks for your time

Accounting writing for bank, services, and manufacture companies are differs. Focus on how deep candidate understand concept of bank reconsiliation as you mentioned, direct indirect material overhead, then personality check incase they fit corporate culture ... you might get your wonderkid. I guest.

Could you please do a video about book recommendations. Such as your top 5 books that helped you personally and professionally. You have talked previously about taking cpa exams nine times and you grew quickly within the accounting ladder, for that to happen, I imagine lot of mental strength and motivation is needed to archive the above. Would love to hear your thoughts on the book recommendations.
And thanks for the great content as always
Thanks Mo will cover these in the near future
By help of ur videos I have given my interview ..result is waiting 🙏🙏lots of thanks to u
Hi. Great!! Can you update me when you get the job?
This just gave me a ton of confidence! I'm an accounting major and looking forward to getting out there in the real world! Thanks!
You need to remove Enron and Arthur Anderson from your cover introduction. They no longer are in business, they mess up the company and employees.
If you have 5 years as an accountant but another 5 years self employed would you say the person is a Junior or Sr. Accountant?
Im common man , im not english man mean i dont speak English to =o much, just a little bit but the way of your learning i appreciate you. Really helful. Thumbs Up for you
Thanks for sharing such lectures. Your way of teaching is amazing,
Why youtube recommend this video for me as I am from India
Thank you for the help I guess I aced my interview because they scheduled me for another one the very same day I've got it tomorrow if there's a way to put more stuff for auditors I see a lot of stuff for accounting but not as much for auditing that would be a nice
Ok will do. I hope my videos helped you! Good job!
@@TheFinancialController a lot thanks. I just graduated from NAU hopefully this will be my last interview and I'll go work for the state auditor general.
I had two interviews with a small accounting firm. The first interview was with the Tax Manager. The only question that was asked of me was what were my goals. One of my questions was better, I stated that she mentioned how one of her employees is a junior accountant, so how would she go about training, giving tasks to someone like myself who is also a junior accountant? I did like her answer but we ran out of time so she scheduled a second interview with two team members. It was like one good cop and two bad cops during an interrogation. I saw people who were unhappy with their jobs and seemed to be dissuading me from wanting to work with them or for the company. All I have to say is, ask the right questions and look for red flags. I really wanted the job to be the right fit but it definitely was not. Also, there were quite a few people on glassdoor that were warning people about this company so I considered it practice! Never settle.
Good advice!! Thanks for sharing
Hello my friend. Thanks for your videos.
One question: I'm from Venezuela, CPA there, bachelor's degree since 2000 and I've never worked in US in the area, living here for 3 years only. What should I have to do to get a job in PWC or any other firm. I tried on PWC summer programs for auditing but...
Do you have any idea? Thanks.
I have a job interview tomorrow.. thank you for the tips
I will start next year at pwc as a public accountant. Any tips for starters like me?
Ask a lot of questions and learn a lot. Don’t be afraid to speak your mind. Even if you are wrong, you will learn by being corrected. Overall it’s a blessing to your career to have big 4 experience
I love in india and i need to give cpa exam...what should I do and where to study and start.
All the videos I watched on you channel for different accounting positions, from a hiring managers prospective and what they want to hear. I was never asked those questions. Only thing I get! Tell about you experience or tell me about yourself. Then you guys go on to explain what your company and what they do. Then! when I know the interview did not go well because it's mostly about the color of my skin, and male. You guys go straight to, do you have any questions. Which indicates I do not have the job although 🤔 my experience is on a high level. You guys only use me through TemPositions with low ball pay.
I hope you’re doing well. So, I’ve been scheduled for an interview this week for a Junior Tax Accountant role. Would you be able to tell me what salary range should I provide to the recruiter? I have less than one year of experience (NYC).
$48k - $55k is the normal range for junior Accountant in NYC
@@TheFinancialController Thank you!
@@salmanali579 so, how did the interview go? lol
Any video on Tax Accountant interview preparation?
Hi teacher any tips or books that you can recommend for becoming a financial controller ?
I wish i saw this before i went tomy interview i got asked all these questions
I honestly wasn't a big fan of his answer for #2. Self-review was the most on-topic idea that he suggested, and that was the one that I was waiting for. His answers sounded like they addressed completion of the task and speed/efficiency, but didn't address how you get from 97% to 99% or 99% or 99.9%. If anything, automation of the task will help with speed/efficiency, but making it manual will actually improve accuracy. That leads to a more advanced concept: speed vs. quality. Perfection isn't needed, and at a certain point a firm has to decide when 99% is enough and its not worth wasting your valuable CPA's time getting to 99.9% due to labor scarcity and economic realities.
Some of the other suggestions will help to make sure that you cover everything, but may not catch a transposition or slippery finger -- this is where self-review and redundancies come in to play -- as well as the commitment to showing your work with clean workpapers.
I just watched your video. I am having an interview tomorrow for the Accounting Assistant position. Hope your tips help me out to pass my interview. very good explanation.
Best of luck
Dont hope,take it be force
Even the kingdom of heaven suffers violence n the violent takes it by force.we get the victory frm the mind coz life is spiritual.
Thank you so much for all the videos you have prepared so far. They have been really useful. I got into an interview last week and came across a question that I had a hard time answering. I was asked "What do you think is our trial balance and income statement structure?" Obviously, I could not answer such a question at that time. I guess I might even be eliminated by this question. This company is Turkey's largest cigarette company and the internationally well-known company. It has a factory here and becomes a tax record holder every year. It also exports products. because the company is not listed on the stock exchange, I have never seen their financial statements before. How do you think such a question should be answered? Thank you in advance.
Hi. The question is kind of unfair since you cannot see their trial balance and financials. But either way, here is a good answer in such case: Rather than giving you my opinion regarding a trial balance that I have not actually examined, I will explain my approach to structuring a chart of accounts and trial balance. Generally the account groups follow the structure of the Balance Sheet and the Income Statement. This means the 1st group, accounts starting with “1” are Assets, “2” Liabilities, “3” Equity, “4” Revenue, “5” accounts are cost of goods sold, “6” operating expenses and “7” accounts are typically non operating expenses. This approach allows to easily connect financial statements items to the trial balance.
That what I'm calling teacher 😎
Thanks 🙏
Thanks alot for amazing effort you did , you explain in avery easy way , video more usful for me
Very informative. Thanks
Tq soo much sir, ur explanation is very clear and better understanding
how to learn english? .my english is poor .
Thank you so much, it is so helpfull.
Hey Iam an English graduate. But Iam interested in accountant job. How I become an accountant
You need a degree from business related courses
Of course they are will also accept candidates who studied physics or maths…at least here in Germany
My problem with most of my interviews is that; I can't fill the whole 30 minutes of the interview with my answers because I have so little to talk about from my internships or my university life.
Don't feel the pressure to fill the whole 30 mins. a 15-20 mins interview works. It could hurt you if you try to unnecessarily fill up the time. Good luck!
What a amazing presentation 🔥🔥🔥...
If you don't mind , I would like to share this idea , it's better to open a channel or a group on telegram or WhatsApp . To have a contact between a students , accountants or most of your followers on RUclips and Instagram , because like this we could share information and Exchange of experiences . It's up to you
I need a job I pased b. Come
How are the three financial statements related?
Hi, are these questions applicable to Junior tax consultant interviews. Would you please do a video on Tax consultant interviews some time in the future .Thank you:)
A lot of companies especially the big 4 ones have numerical reasoning test and case interviews ( mostly for advisory roles and corporate finance).Any tips on how to be prepared for Tax and audit .
These questions are specifically made due accounting not tax, will do in the future
Hai sir
You can explain to payrool
Good video & an excellent way to create the video. Keep it up. Thanks for sharing.
Very informative video. Thanks for making a video on such topic
A correction there are 4/5 financial statements
Accrual based:
- Statement of Financial Position
- Statement of Profit or Loss and Other comprehensive income (there may be two separate statements as well)
- Statement of Changes in Equity
Cash Flow Based
