Are there specific areas of knowledge listed in the job posting? My main interview with the hiring manager for my job focused on experience in those areas

I’d be prepared to discuss any complex accounting matters that you have owned (identification, research, resolution, documentation, consultation, collaboration with client, differing perspectives, etc). In addition, be prepared to discuss the accounting area that you are the strongest. As EY1 mentioned, ensure you have talking points for the areas mentioned in the JD.
