I had an interview with HR first. Then, I had an interview with people from the Accounting department. They asked me about past experiences, specifically about improvement processes I'd implemented, and about a time I was under stress and how I handled it. After that, they asked questions related to the job, focusing on accounting. There were also simple questions about accounting accounts.
