Gen II Fund Services Accountant Interview Questions
& Process

I got contacted by a recruiter on LinkedIn and sent my resume. A few days later, I got an email to set up a quick phone screening where they asked if I planned on getting my master's or CPA, and my salary expectations. During the call, the recruiter talked a bit about the job and the interview process, and asked for my availability for a video interview and an assessment test. When it was time for the assessment, someone called to explain it; it was a timed, easy JE (journal entry) test. Before the main interview, I had to complete and submit an application form. Two managers interviewed me, which lasted about 20-30 minutes. They asked basic interview questions and some accounting JE questions. They finished by asking if I had any questions. They were pretty neutral and not overly friendly, which is fine. I didn't hear back about an offer or rejection, and since a week passed, I'm assuming I didn't get it. Overall, it was a good experience for an entry-level candidate like me.

it was about 20-30 min. they ask you 4-5 technical JE questions. they will help you if you forgot how to do it. Also ask couple behavior question, What's your strength? Some challenge you face and how your handle it? The interviewee were very nice.

I found the job on LinkedIn and was first contacted by the company's recruiter. After a few weeks, HR reached out to schedule an interview. They were really accommodating with scheduling, even moving the interview three times for me because I had trouble taking time off work. I interviewed with a Director. We started with a short, 5-question test covering typical fund accounting topics like management fees and capital calls, which wasn't too difficult. Then, the Director and I chatted about my experience and why I'm interested in the company, the usual interview stuff. I thought there might be more STAR method questions, but there weren't.
