Hi everyone,

I have an upcoming interview with CFGI for the Data & Analytics Consultant role (back-to-back interviews with a Senior Manager and a Director).

If you've recently interviewed for this role, I'd really appreciate any insights on:

- Key behavioral or technical questions
- Finance-related scenarios or use cases they focused on
- Anything you wish you'd prepared differently

Thanks in advance!

I’m in accounting advisory (manager) so a little different and I didn’t apply for that role specifically, but in my experience the interviews are not really technical. CFGI hires almost exclusively experienced seniors or higher from big4 so there’s a base expectation you already know what you’re doing, mostly. In my experience the interviews were more focused on your personality, willingness to grow and learn (to make sure you’re not a total burnout), motivation for leaving and long term career goals. Sure they’ll ask what you worked on at pwc, what experiences make you qualified for the role, and a hypothetical how would you react question, but I highly doubt they’ll have real case studies or anything technical you’d need to know on the spot. Just can you functionally communicate like a professional in client services or not I’d say is the primary filter. Honestly my 3 calls with the recruiter, then an MD, and then a Partner were all like identical interviews, just getting to know me. YMMV. We’re growing and need people 🤝

@CFGI1 Thank you! That's really helpful. Since you work at CFGI, I had one quick question. In your experience, what differentiates candidates who do well in the Data & Analytics interviews? Is it more about communication and client-facing skills, problem-solving, or demonstrating technical depth through past projects?
