Assistant Accountant Question: Download Questions PDF
Tell me what's the most challenging accounting task you've have to solve?
Answer:
This question is designed to (1) test your level of experience and (2) find out how you tackle and solve problems.
If you answer this question by sharing a challenging accounting task you were given in school, it's a good indicator to the interviewer that you're experience is limited to the academic--and that you may not have faced any really tough real-world accounting problems. When answering this question, try to find an example based on your professional experience, even if it's limited to an internship.
Once you've described to the interviewer the most challenging accounting task you've had to solve, it's pretty certain that the interviewer will then ask how you were able to solve it. When answering this question, make sure you choose a task that you were able to solve. Presenting a task you were unable to solve--albeit challenging--would not instill in the interviewer a sense that you are a good problem solver. When describing how you solved the task, be methodical and descriptive. Show the interviewer that you not only could solve that problem, but that you know how to solve any problem.
