Sample interview questions
How do you review a waterfall calculation under a limited partnership agreement?

I first map the LPA’s distribution tiers, preferred return, catch-up, carried-interest, and allocation provisions into a documented calculation framework. I reconcile inputs to the fund ledger and capital accounts, validate the calculation through independent checks, and retain a clear review trail for the client and auditors.

Describe your approach to preparing fund-level and asset-level performance metrics.

I validate cash-flow timing and classifications before calculating metrics such as IRR and TVPI. I reconcile results to the general ledger, capital account activity, and supporting valuation data, then investigate material changes so that reporting is accurate and understandable to stakeholders.

How would you manage several client reporting deadlines at once?

I would establish a reporting calendar, identify dependency and review milestones, and prioritize work by deadline, complexity, and risk. I communicate blockers early, use standardized checklists and reconciliations, and maintain status visibility so deadlines are met without compromising quality.

Tell us about a time you improved an accounting workflow or system process.

I would begin by documenting the current process and identifying repetitive controls, data-quality risks, and manual handoffs. After aligning requirements with stakeholders, I would implement a standardized workflow or system enhancement, test outputs against prior results, and measure improvements in timeliness, accuracy, and review effort.

How do you communicate technical accounting matters to fund clients who may not be accounting specialists?

I explain the business impact first, use concise plain-language summaries, and provide supporting schedules that connect the conclusion to the underlying transactions and governing documents. I also outline options, risks, and next steps so clients can make informed decisions.
