In today’s environment, the main purpose of the interview is to determine if you are breathing.
I do my best.
The team culture is very collaborative. As an experience associate my directors are giving me the time of day. Meaning, the directors are hands on and actually care about my development. My director schedules check points with me to see my progress as I work on a project. Additionally I have a coach for performance review and a transition coach as I continue to transition into the firm. Currently my hours are 40 hours a week, but it can vary based on things like SEC or client deadlines. As for as comp, wayyyyyy better than audit. And they may give you room to negotiate. But I was very pleased with my offer.
Mostly behavioral questions
Probably a case study
Also, I’m happy to give you a referral for PwC, I know they’re hiring
Recently jumped from audit to accounting advisory services. There was no case study, only behavioral questions and tell me about your past experience as an auditor as for as the sections I worked on.
Do you mind sharing how’s the workload, team culture, comp, etc? Currently interviewing for experienced associate level
I told them I wanted to explore other areas of the accounting profession. That I wanted a role that could expand my skills and knowledge outside of auditing. I wanted a role that would make me a well rounded accounting professional. I also mentioned that I wanted to create direct value to the client. That I wanted to be on the client side and help them grow. As an auditor we do have transferable skills, such as, soft skills, client based service, organization, knowledge of financials in and out, and general/industry knowledge. We know how to use excel and various tools. A lot of the directors started out as auditors so they can understand and relate to you.
Beautiful. Thanks
Thank you KPMG 2! What did you tell them when they asked you why you wanna make the switch?
Depends… risk/ IT Audit or internal audit they probably won’t expect much from you just basic behaviorals
Deals/FDD? Expect a case and have the lingo down. Also have a good reason as to why you’re going from audit
For FDD, just be ready to share some experiences that show you grasp the work you're currently doing. Also if you have any examples of (i) managing other staff (i.e. outsourced India team), (ii) taking initiative and embracing new technologies (e.g. Tableau, Alteryx, etc), these will be a big help. We don't do case studies in my office. As for why you're transferring out of audit, this is definitely a question you should be ready to answer and highlight why doing so as early as you are (presumably after 1 or 2 yrs if you're an associate).
I just recently had interviews for this exact situation, I had a few questions on stuff I had on my resume (ie I assisted with auditing a companies 842 lease adoption) so was asked questions on that. Every person asked if I’d ever had to do technical accounting research but I landed an offer while saying no
I wouldn’t even say behavioral as much as it was walking them through my resume and what I’d done, a few things about how I work with others etc
