I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at BDO
Interview
As part of the recruitment process with BDO Khaled & Co. for the Junior Finance Analyst position, I first completed a written assessment that was primarily accounting-focused. This assessment tested my technical knowledge and practical application skills in areas such as financial reporting, analysis, and problem-solving within an accounting framework. It provided me with an opportunity to demonstrate my proficiency in accounting principles and my ability to work through complex numerical tasks efficiently.
Following the assessment, I was invited to a technical interview with a partner at BDO. The interview was a dynamic and insightful discussion that delved deeper into my understanding of financial and accounting concepts.
