Wish I came across your channel three hours before my Staff Accountant interview. Thank you for your help!
Thank you. After 2 years in apay I have an interview for staff accountant . I feel better prepared now.
These questions could literally be answered by someone who paid attention in Elementary Accounting/Principles of Accounting. Makes me feel better lol. Thanks Bill!
This video got me an accounting role for a Hispanic Housing Corporation in Downtown Chicago . Thank very much for all you do!!!
As I am watching this video right now while prepping for my interview for today it gives me much confidence in myself. I feel like these are simple questions for me through my accounting experience. Thank you.
Also, I wanted to note how your videos are so clear and short. The way you explain everything is so easy and displaying the list on your screen of the questions and answers in summary is so easy to follow along I don't even have to pause the video. I feel like you would make a very good professor in college.
Thanks Anne

Thank you Bill. Very Inspiring !
amazing video and clarity. Thank you so much for making these videos! Keep making them!
Thanks, will do!
One other measure of success I feel in AP is identifying and successfully obtaining any discounts for timely payments. Another interesting function... some roles may have to be aware of contract terms and monitor, track and accrue for rebates due back to the company.
Thanks for adding this valuable information
Thank You so much. this is helping a lot!
Mr. Bill Hannah Iam waiting a Job Offer as an Accountant from a recruitment agency in Dubai, and I were very tense about what to say in the interview Iam going to do with it, but when Iam listening and watching your videos I became more confident, the way you explain is wonderful, smooth and easy to understand.
I give this video 2 BIG thumbs up!!! TFS
Hi Bill thanks for the Informative Videos, I really want to grow more in the accounting career any online course offers. Thanks
Thank you for having visual terms ! Much appreciate your breakdown
Thank you, Bill! When I first started as a Jr. Accountant.... It was more of a Jr. Controller. This video helped me out so much as to gain clarity. I feel reassured of my knowledge and skill set, now.
Glad it helped!
Interesting, I had an interview with the IRS this week for a Revenue Agent position. They asked questions similar to these. Lucky me I was prepared, I slam dunked all of them😂🤣👌👍
Thanks for these useful stuffs 🔥
By the way, Nice T-shirt 😉
Haha thanks
Very clear lecture.
Credit memo well look at the vocabulary across the pond. in the UK and Commonwealth it is called a credit note. In the USA allocation and apportionment seem to be used to mean the same.Not so in the UK.
Interesting!
Great Insights....
Hi, i am new to your channel,
Can you make a view video of hands on of staff accounting. Where you can use examples of a company and how to sold the staff accounting duty
Awesome content. Subbed!
Thanks
Hello, thanks for sharing , could you please give me a guidance about the posting of your report, how can i get them please
Hi bill
Your content is useful to us.
Bill I love your videos and am subscribed as you consistently put out great content! I had a question - I have six years of AR and AP experience and recently passed all four CPA exams. I have not held a title as a staff accountant yet all of my titles were AP/AR specialist. For my next job, should I apply to Staff Acct roles or aim a little higher since I will have my CPA and am not fresh out of college? Also, feel free to not reply as I know it’s not your job to give career advice but if you do thank you so much and regardless will keep watching your content!
There is usually never a disadvantage to aiming a little higher. Especially if it is realistic given your skill set, experience, education, and credentials. Go for it!
Much respect to you.
Very useful TIP, Thank you so much

auditor to mgr is good as well.
I have the 2nd in-person interview this week for the staff accountant, I really hope they pick me, but very nervous about what they will ask me because I will meet the same people I met in the first interview. I have been watching your videos and really appreciate your help.
Best of luck!

If you have to ask, go into a different field!
What ate the suitable positions for entry level cpa ?
I am basrd in california so whats the salary range that i can expect for entry level cpa ? I have 5 yrs work exp in India.
Hello, I’ve been doing Accounts payables for years and I’m ready to move up.I have an A.A working on my BA. What would be a good position to move up to? I was thinking Junior account, but not sure if I need more experience.
After you get BA look for a staff accountant role that includes working on accruals, month end close, and supporting financial reporting. Pay more attention to the job description more than the title
@@TheFinancialController Thank you 😊
Hi Bill, I'm looking for a full time accounting job but I have not been working full time for more than 1 year after graduating (because my family had some problems). Do you think that gap will affect my job opportunity ? Do recruiters care about that and if they wanna know the reason for that gap then is it ok to just mention family issues in general because I find it uncomfortable to go into detail.
Yeah it makes it a little harder but not a big deal. Just say you had to take some time off to deal with family issues. We are all humans so don’t worry
I will have to disagree on the public vs private part, many businesses especially SMEs use public accountants (practices) to run period-end journal entries and compile the financial statements. Bookeeping is likely to be private / in-house except in very small owner-managed companies, but anything past trial balance is likely to be handled externally for most private limited companies. That's why we say *accountancy practice* not just tax practice or audit practice or consultancy firm.
I love the information however the music on the video doesn't match with the content. It's music for a suspense movie of something...
I graduated December 2020 with my bachelors in accounting. I am currently working as an accounting clerk (basically working as back up for AP/AR and assist with special projects for my boss (Controller). I work at a law firm. Am I putting myself short by not looking for a staff accountant position? This is my first job in the accounting field. They are paying me $17/hr. However I have another opportunity to be paid $19/hr for an abstract company doing somewhat the same thing but with some additional duties. I would like to start making more in the $24+ /hr range. What should I do?
Hey. For me I had to make some moves to new companies early on to get more advancements. So sometimes you gotta think this way to move ahead
question #6 and #5 I not understand please you can reply or you can help me
Sir I have + 2 and one year experience in Tally sir can I got a junior accountant job pls reply
I am 30 years old, lost both my parents in the last 10 years so did not have the strength and confidence to work for any company however I have completed AAT and ACCA (2 optional papers left) while helping my husband’s businesses (convenience stores and takeaways). What should I apply for? Appreciate your reply
depending where u live Accounting assistant is a good place to start. i started $18 and within 3 months $22 when i took on AP responsibilities. I have a degree but wanted to do exactly what this video is talking about of making sure u know the basics of the accounting office. you can also see if there is a Junior Accountant or Junior Staff accountant. Alot is basic data entry and you can pick up easily.
@@bannasong98 thank you so much for your reply. May god bless you
hi, i just wanted to ask if lets say i have a degree in accounting .. would i be able to find a job straight after i graduate? Because i've heard a lot of rumours about the ez/basic jobs for accounting is going to get automated. But arent fresh graduate suppose to do the ez task first?? So how are we suppose to get a job?
You will always have a job because we still need humans to apply judgment and knowledge to what software can do
Please search job for me if you have any reference
Enjoying the videos, but might want to remember to blur emails of patrons rather than posting them on TH-cam.
Good idea, I went ahead and blurred it. Thanks for getting that to me my attention Adrian
@@TheFinancialController All good, looking forward to seeing the "Questions during a Controller Interview" as that one is applicable to my current situation lol
Got it, soon :)
I would work on your audio.
AR = OTC... now I know...
Financial field like CFA are value in future another technology effect on finance job this job are secure 🤨🤨
Yeah secure
Learning to code may help. I am doing an intro to block chain. Plan to do AI Artificial Intelligence next.
Why are so many staff accounting positions these days asking for 3 years "preferred experience"
It’s only “preferred”, so shouldn’t stop you from applying. Good luck!
My current job (public accounting firm) only has 2 levels, staff and senior and it drives me NUTS bc I'm lumped in with all these super green babies who know NOTHING. And I'm expected to act in a supervisory role to them and yet, I "don't have enough experience" to be senior.... Ughhhh
just keep working hard and improving you will make it to senior eventually.
which firm is that?? I’ve never heard of a firm except maybe law firms that don’t have a longer hierarchy
I have applied over hundreds staff accountant role via indeed and linkedin and over 60 interviews since April 2022, but so far, I have not received any job offer from any of those applications or interviews. Please help what is wrong, is it something wrong during the interview?...I am tired and starting to give up !
hello, a question for you, you mean you already had 60 interviews but all was rejected?
Are you hiring sir? I would work free for you if I can learn experience from you.
Oh , that needs an excellent English to answer those questions
I guess you need to practice in order to improve;)
Please slowdown while speaking
