Sample interview questions
How would you reconcile repayment activity for a Merchant Capital Advance product across payment and General Ledger systems?

I would first define the expected repayment population and key fields, including transaction ID, date, principal, fees, status, and settlement reference. I would match records across systems, investigate timing differences and exceptions, document adjustments, and ensure the final reconciliation ties to the General Ledger balance with an auditable support file.

Describe your approach to month-end revenue recognition for a high-volume SaaS billing environment.

I begin with a controlled billing and source-data extract, validate invoice and credit-note completeness, and reconcile operational billing totals to the General Ledger. I then calculate or validate deferred and recognized revenue, post required journal entries, investigate material variances, and retain clear evidence for review and audit purposes.

What Excel techniques would you use to analyze and reconcile a large transaction dataset?

I would use structured tables, Power Query where appropriate, pivot tables, XLOOKUP or INDEX-MATCH, SUMIFS, conditional checks, and exception flags. I also build reconciliation control totals and repeatable templates so that results are accurate, reviewable, and efficient to refresh each reporting period.

How do you identify and communicate a financial data anomaly to a non-financial stakeholder?

I would quantify the anomaly, validate that it is not caused by a data-refresh or timing issue, and isolate the affected transactions or process step. I would explain the business impact in plain language, provide concise supporting evidence, propose next actions, and agree on an owner and resolution timeline.

How would you improve a recurring manual reconciliation process?

I would map the current workflow, identify the highest-risk manual steps and recurring exceptions, and standardize data inputs and matching rules. I would then automate repeatable extraction and validation steps where possible, introduce documented controls and exception reporting, and measure improvements in accuracy and close-cycle time.
