Sample interview questions
How do you ensure accounts receivable balances remain accurate and overdue invoices are collected effectively?

I maintain regular reconciliations between the ledger, billing records, and customer accounts; review ageing reports on a defined cadence; and prioritize follow-up based on amount, ageing, dispute status, and customer risk. I document owners and next actions, then involve customer-facing stakeholders early when commercial support is needed.

What controls would you apply when reviewing a weekly accounts-payable payment file?

I would verify approval status, vendor master-data changes, invoice-to-purchase-order support where applicable, duplicate invoices, payment terms, bank details, funding availability, and exception items. I would ensure segregation of duties and retain an auditable approval trail before release.

Describe your approach to keeping AR and AP on track during month-end close.

I work backwards from the close calendar, establish clear cutoffs and ownership, monitor daily progress, and resolve exceptions as early as possible. I communicate material risks promptly, provide concise status updates, and ensure reconciliations and supporting schedules are complete before final review.

How would you improve a clunky AP process without weakening financial controls?

I would first map the current workflow, quantify the pain points and error risks, and gather input from the people performing the work. I would then test a simplified future-state process that automates or standardizes low-value steps while preserving approvals, documentation, segregation of duties, and clear exception handling.

How do you lead and develop a small financial-operations team?

I set clear service levels, control expectations, and priorities, then use regular one-to-ones to remove blockers and provide specific feedback. I pair coaching with documented procedures and cross-training so the team can grow capability while maintaining continuity during peak close periods.

Not all heroes wear capes — but plenty of them use toilet paper

Want to challenge yourself at a purpose-led scale up AND make a difference in the world? Come join the revolootion!

Funny name, serious business

We are a leading eco-friendly household essentials business and we donate 50% of our profits to help everyone gain access to clean water and a toilet. As of June 2024, we’ve contributed over $20 million AUD to this mission. Basically, we’re really good at making it easy to do good.

We operate scaling businesses the UK, US, Australia and Canada. Our amazing team is based in Australia, the UK, the Philippines, China, and the US. Our 250+ people aim to make the biggest possible impact for people and the planet. Over the next 5-10 years, we’re hoping to increase our annual donation tenfold to get us closer to our dream of everyone in the world having access to clean water and sanitation services.

A bit about the role

As our AR & AP Lead, you’ll be the eyes and ears of our Number Scrunchers accounting function — driving accounts receivable and accounts payable operations day to day, in close partnership with your two direct reports (our AR Expert and AP Coordinator) and the wider Financial Operations team. You’ll keep our books accurate, our customers paying on time, and our suppliers paid on time, all so we can maximise the donations we’re able to make.

If you worked here this past month here are some things you might have been involved in

  • Pulled together the monthly AR ageing report for the CFO and exec team, with a clear plan to chase down aged amounts
  • Reviewed the weekly payments file (including the Tipalti funding summary) before it went out for approval
  • Flagged an “at risk” customer account early and looped in the customer-facing team for support
  • Helped close the books accurately and on time at month-end, escalating one risk early to the Head of Financial Operations
  • Worked with the AP Coordinator to tidy up a clunky step in the AP process

Let’s talk about you

Detail is your love language

You get real satisfaction from a reconciliation that ties out perfectly and a report that lands on the CFO’s desk without a single follow-up question. You’re equally comfortable rolling your sleeves up in the detail of a customer account and stepping back to build the KPIs and reporting that keep the whole team honest.

Calm under a closing calendar

Month-end doesn’t rattle you. You know how to keep AR and AP on track to a deadline, spot a risk early enough to actually do something about it, and communicate clearly with stakeholders when something needs to change.

A coach as much as a doer

You lead a small, tight-knit team and genuinely enjoy it — you give clear, kind feedback, help your people grow, and aren’t afraid of a difficult conversation when a process or a stakeholder relationship needs a repair job.

You give a crap. Do you want your work to make the world a better place? Do you want to work with other people who feel the same way? What a coincidence — us too!

Why should you work with us?

First off, as a certified B Corp™, we work to make a difference every day while maintaining the high standards of social and environmental impact. We’re in very good company with other exceptional B Corps around the world.

We also believe that helping to make the world a better place should be rewarded accordingly – that’s why we offer competitive, market informed salaries, meaningful support towards healthcare for our team around the world, generous paid leave, tailored learning and development opportunities, and free toilet paper (yes, you read that right).

Our engagement surveys (thanks Culture Amp!) tell us that our team is really proud (over 90%) to work for Who Gives A Crap and, well, we couldn’t be more proud of that.

Have you made it this far?

If you’re still reading, we think there’s a strong chance you might be our kind of person. Here’s the thing, though — research suggests that 60% of women and underrepresented folks might have already talked themselves out of applying. Even if you don’t check every box above, we want to encourage you to introduce yourself. We believe a diversity of perspectives and experiences makes a team stronger — and the stronger our team, the closer we are to delivering toilets and clean water for all.
