Any tips on how to prepare for a final interview with an MD Accenture? Beyond the typical career objectives, why this job etc is there anything else to prepare for? Any suggestions for questions for them?

Be ready for career, this role, etc. The usual.
Expect a case. I've had MD interviews where it's almost all fit, sometimes an actual case.
Be ready for anything.
You might also get an "on the fly" case, where the MD wants to know how you would think through a case they just submitted an RFP, just sold, etc.
No hard number crunching, but you still have to be structured and think on your feet.

Very informal usually I think, passing the airport test is the most important part I think.

Just went through the process for a M role in tech strategy and accepted the offer. Here’s what I would do, LinkedIn the MD and see what insights you can gain. Prepare informed questions, perhaps if any of the recent acquisitions impact the area you’ll be working on. I’d also go through the recent earnings call transcript. Julie Sweet gave some really interesting updates and some stats about the business you should have in your back pocket. Last but not least, be prepared to answer “Why Accenture”? Best of luck!

I just did it yesterday. It was very informal. We just talked about the firm and practice. I already did the case with someone else.

Is this interview for management consulting?

Mine vary from very informal to a mix of a focused case and informal. If the screening interviews went great, it's a mutual sell job. Convince me why Accenture and this role in particular. Meanwhile I'm convincing you it's Accenture and this role in particular.

If there was a gap identified in the earlier interview(s), I'll build rapport then hit that gap. Then if happy, we go into mutual sales.

There us no training of MDs beyond recruiting interviewing, so we all do it differently.

I'm in Applied Intelligence, in S&C, so that will likely matter.
