THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! You’re videos have been a great tool to prep myself for my entry-level accounting interviews. I received 3 job offers out of 4 interviews. Ultimately I was able to accept a job with the best work culture & environment and they offered the highest pay rate!!
Wow you made my day Angela!
@@TheFinancialController M l??mmmmmm
P p
Sir can you share your email address ?
Not me frantically watching every accounting interview advice video the day before my interview 😭
Me right now lol
Lol Doing that right now also
Made it to the technical interview part 😭
Same
Me rn lol
I’m in my junior year of studying my bachelors in business and accounting and I haven’t even started my immediate level courses. I started applying to jobs with no experience last week. After watching your videos, I interviewed for my first role in Accounting this week, an Accounting Specialist position and I got the job! ❤❤🎉😊 Thank you so much! You changed my life!
Love that!
So an internship?
Wow, congrat dude
I pray that these tips will help me pass the second round of interviews this week. 🙏
Best of luck 🤞
@@TheFinancialController Sir, I have an interview tomorrow, for Fund Junior accountant, entry-level. is there any advice would give to ace my interview?
Did you make it?
@@davidmaga7395 I am still waiting, I actually sat for it today, because the other day was just to have a convo with me and see if I was the right fit for their test. So, today was a D day, there were a ton of technical ACCounting questions, though they asked me to not worry, they just wanna see my level of understanding in accounting. Just got my fingers crossed. Thank you for the follow-up, and will keep you abreast once the results are out, no matter the results
@@phd-prospect7294 did you get the job?
I’m a 2019 graduate, been hunting jobs for a year and finally, this upcoming Monday is THE day. Thank you sir I’m tremendously grateful for your videos!
Good luck Danny :)
Hello Bill I just want to say THANK YOU!!! After multiple failed phone and interviews in the last 3 months I decided to switch it up and really hone in on some interview skills from professionals instead of winging it and let me tell you just after watching this video twice and then some of your other interview tips I was able to get 2 Job offers of over 60k in just week! ( A/R Associate) Mind you at my last job I only made around the 40k and with a hostile work environment! Thank you! Thank You!
wow, nice job! Best of luck Astrid!
Thank you for the video. Short but enlightening. This is my first interview as an accounting trainee and I feel more prepared than ever. Keep up the good work.
It's a big honor for me to listening you. I'm learning more and more each day; we need to learn and hear something like this lecture to increase our chance of passing the interview successfully.
Thank you, Bill. I’m having an interview tomorrow, just graduated from College and super nervous but I’m glad that I came across your video! Been struggling finding a fulltime job in my career path for almost 2 years, will try my best tomorrow with what I learned from your video!🤞🏻
Update: I got actually got 4 offers not 2 for a full-time position 😁😁 hard work pays off!!!
Very helpful tips! Taking notes on how to tie in the qualities to my current role. I have my first interview for an accounting role for the company I work for. Nervous, but prepping helps me articulate better in the interview. Thank you!
Bill, all of your videos are great!!
Thank you!
Glad you like them!
Wow,,, I am currently working as junior accountant at a new factory, and your videos have not only prepared me for more interviews ahead but also gives me knowledge on what am required to do,,,God bless you abundantly
Thank's for all the information and knowledge you're sharing with Us , it's very objective, professional and very practical.👍
Tips from this video helped me land an internship at a big firm. Thanks!
Thank you! Valuable information, efficiently presented.
That’s what I am talking about
Thank you so much, Your presentation is crisp to the point.
I was able to get an accounting position at a company I wanted to work for because of your invaluable content and interviewing tips. Thank you so much!
Great Job Anthony!!
Thank you very much for your work. Your channel is very helpful for a graduate seeking interview answers like me. Much appreciated.
Thanks lily. Glad you approve :)
Nice one. Thank you for the lesson. Today is the D day for my job interview as an accountant
Thank you Bill! Great tips. I watched some of your videos, they are satisfactory, useful and worthy...
This is good information.
I mentioned in a previous thread but my goal right now is to continue studying accounting at Ensign College in Salt Lake until I receive my Bachelors. Their plan is very much on track to help pass the CMA exams which is something I want to accomplish. After that, I plan to apply at Southern Utah University and achieve an MAcc. After all that, I'd prefer to start in private accounting in the A/R department and work on my 5 year / 10 year plan... which may include getting a CPA, and deciding what route I'd use to get to a Controller position and possibly a CFO.
Execellent video! Very insightful information from the interviewer/interviewee perspective 👌
Thank you, that really helps.
Thank you, thank you so much. Your video presentation is very helpful for me as I am searching for my first job after my graduation in accounting. I will definitely study and apply these tips for any interview that I have opportunity to secure. This is purely act of love that you are sharing your wealth of wisdom free of charge. God will bless you.
This is really helpful ! Thank you so much
Thanks for watching!
This is extremely helpful, I’m an Econ major student and have an interview for accounting tomorrow. This helps so much!
Good luck to you ;) thanks for watching
Thank you so much Bill. This video is great and gave me confidence to interview well. Now just waiting on the decision.
Thank you for this great video and the cheat sheet!! :) I haven't had an accounting interview in a few years and this helps me!!
I should also add that since I'm detail oriented, I found the typo in the word "Accounting" at 4:48, but I think this was a test 😁
Thanks for the video and cheat sheet, it gives me direction to prepare for my interview!
Thank you so much! Your video is really useful! I pray i can do good in the upcoming interview next Monday 🙏🏻
Best or luck
Thank you so much for the information . I have an interview in some days so this will really help me a lot.
Best of luck 🤞

Appreciate these beneficial Tips!!!!!
Glad it’s helpful
THANK YOU,THANK YOU SO MUCH.
You're welcome!
Thank you so much👏🏼
You are welcome
Excellent.
The simple things that I have forgotten. Thank you
Really sad that I had to enroll in ERP type courses at a community college to gain beg-advanced skills in Quickbooks and Excel. I'm always stunned that university professors do not require a full accounting cycle simulation to be learned using these programs to help prepare for entry level positions. Especially since uni costs are so high, we'd cover an extensive amount of material to prepare students for jobs.
Great video !!
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for this video, i'm sure that will help me to find a new job!
Thanks!
Great! Thank you!
You are welcome!
Best advice ❤ thanks my teacher 🇩🇿
Thanks a lot!
Thank you! Very helpful! :)
Glad it was helpful!
Really great video! Thanks so much
Glad you enjoyed it!
This would be helpful for job seekers!
Thanks 🙏 that’s the intention
Hope this helps me for my interview tomorrow...
Best of luck nandini!!
Awesome Sir really appreciate your help also please give some interview tips for staff accountant too
A manager asked me the following question in an jobinterview.
1. If I told you to do something in a specific way, would you be the person that would tell me that it's better to do it in a different way.
2. If you saw I've made a mistake, and we are in a team meeting, would you point it out in front of everyone or rather tell me in person.
What would be the best answer to give sir?
Good questions,
1. Yes, I would be. If I truly believe it can be done better, I will make sure to let you know.
2. Depends. If I found it absolutely necessary for the purpose of the meeting, I will raise the point. But if if can be corrected in private afterwards, that would be my approach.
Hi, Bill thank you so much for your videos they so useful and helpful. Any way you can make a video on a CV for someone who's looking to apply for an account assistant role with past accounting skills but no experience. Do you by any chance do 1 to 1 consultation, as I would like my CV reviewed, please? Thank you
Great suggestion! Will make a video soon. And I plan on having a consultation product on my website in a couple of months.
Great video!
Should I mention being frugal? Would that be seen as a positive or negative?
No, that’s not very relevant. It’s assumed that you are careful with money
Thank you so much for your video! I have an interview tomorrow and this is very helpful!
Good luck!!
Did you get the job?
@@gamingsfinest1 unfortunately no..
@@ayakik I haven't even been able to get an interview so the fact that they're interested in you means its just a matter of time and your interviewing skills are only gonna keep growing. Good luck on the next one.
@@gamingsfinest1 Thank you! I believe you will get an interview soon! Just keep sending your resume, and you will get replies from them!
Hey,

How can I get the balance sheet cheat sheet please? You are the Accounting Master!!
I just found out this channel and I am grateful that I did..I have Bachelors in Accounting..I graduated in 2014 and right after that I got pregnant. I haven’t worked in my field yet..I do have some ideas on Quickbooks but you think it’s too late to go look for some entry level bookkeeping jobs to start again?
Never too late. Set your mind to it and let’s get to work…
@@TheFinancialController thank you so much…that’s what I needed to hear😊
This was great.. Could you please do one for intermediate and advanced levels?
Thanks. Will do
Superb Bill, I was thinking that this is for kids 😄. After watching..... Ohhhh I never thought about these basic but important things. Explained in very understandable manner, as you always do. Thanks
Thanks for watching Mayur
I have an interview at 10am for a $30hr entry level job… it’s 6am and I’ve been up all night studying. I have absolutely no experience. WISH ME LUCK! SEND ME YOURE VIBRATIONS!!
You are most certainly not a loser! Go get’em

Good information sir

I just love to watch your videos
Thanks Zewe!

Great sir
How can you help with a 2013 accounting and finance graduate with no accounting experience but currently taking an AAT foundation to refresh her accounting knowledge so as to get into an accounting job. What does she need to do to get her foot into the accounting world? Thnak you
Hi, the channel was made especially for someone in your situation. Make sure to watch all my playlists :)
I’m a recent grad. I went to a liberal arts college and majored in mathematics. I didn’t have much access to finance and accounting. Does these tips help for someone like me?
Sir...nice valuable information...
But one question I need to ask...
What do you think about favortism in work life???
Sir is it possible to put a video regarding AR, AP
Requesting you to make a video on US GAAP.
Ok will do
I have to mention that after highlighting the importance of self review you spelled "accounting" wrong at the 4:50 mark. Of all the good advice you presented, that mistake was the most encouraging.
Go out there and do a better job than me :)
Great 👍
How about vlog for Senior Accountant entry?
Ok will do :)
I like the last question but sometimes you may look like a threat or maybe they are looking for an employee not a person that go further . I think that this question has the right question depending on what they are looking for .
Thanks for making this Video!!! After so many interviews I have done -- I never got an offer back. I followed ALL of your tips and the interviewer said I sound "Intelligent" and that I was a "great candidate" and that she has "no idea what I was talking about" hahaha. She said she "will have the financial controller interview me further" lol. I mentioned financial statements and other records as well. I also explained stuff my way that way it was easier for me to follow through. I integrated(mixed in) my own work history to support the Qualities on the job description. The interviewer reduced the amount of questions because I have answered the first ones very well. I have a Bachelor Degree in Mathematics - studied accounting as an undergraduate. - Have no work experience.
Excellent tips -- straight to the point!!
Anybody looking for an entry level accounting job should review this video. Bill Hanna has great recommendations for job interview!!
Well done Jennifer, and thanks for the kind words!
I am terrible on interviews. Do you help or provide a coaching service for it?
Not yet but might coach soon
@@TheFinancialController I kind of need help. Could we connect on LinkedIn? Maybe we could help each other or come up with a deal.
Am looking for the link to download the balance sheet help me sir
