Financial Controller Interviews

Financial Controller Interview Questions

"Financial controllers are hired for their management skills, attention to detail, and experience in forecasting and budgeting. During an interview, prepare to answer questions that test your financial knowledge, your understanding of your job duties, and how in depth you have looked into the company. In addition, you may have to role-play situations where you have to use your customer service skills to appease an angry customer or fulfill a potential client's wishes. Ultimately, employers are looking for candidates who are solid team players and can juggle many projects at once."

Only thing that caught me out was a live exercise in the second round, which I hadn't expected - but, I think that's partly the reason they do it! Interesting selection of questions in the final round - ranging from brain teasers to personality fit type questions.
