It was a 3-round interview process that wrapped up in three weeks. The questions were aligned with the role. The first two rounds were technical, and the final round focused on character assessment. The interview process itself was smooth, with no issues in communication between the interviewer and HR.

First I had a call with RH. She was super nice and asked me some accounting questions like naming the 3 financial statements, what's in a bank balance sheet, and what's the most important part of it. She also asked about my motivations and past work. Next, I had an accounting test with three sections. The first part was about how different transactions affect the balance sheet (asset, liabilities, equity), asking to mark +, - or nothing. The second part was a reading comprehension quiz with multiple-choice questions. The third part was a math test covering probabilities, charts, and tables – definitely brush up on your formulas! I'm still waiting to hear back about the third round, which will be with the management team.
