Best Answer: This is a general interview question. But since you are sitting for an accounting interview, you must craft an answer highlighting your professional accounting background. Mention your educational journey in finance, your experience (if any) working at an accounting firm, your milestones, and your strengths.

Make a note of how you can answer this question.

First, provide a basic introduction of yourself. Then you can bring in your experience in the field. You can talk about your years of experience working as an accountant for a specific industry and which areas of accounting were your primary focus areas.

If you are applying for a fresher accounting job, you can mention favourite subjects in accounting and how you have gained expertise in them with good marks in your college or certifications you have taken.

It is important for both freshers and experienced to discuss their educational qualifications. Mainly, it helps the recruiter understand the context of your background a little better. Apart from your university degree, having one or two accounting certifications in a specific area can boost your employability.

Discuss your professional milestones. Maybe it was streamlining the company’s budgeting process. Or it could be about preparing extensive reports that everyone in the team could understand clearly.

Along with that, it may also help to discuss which accounting software you may be comfortable using.

Lastly, talk about your career goals and possibly try to show those goals will align with the company.
