You really have to give more info but general things to think about:

1. Dress smart- First impressions are lasting, to quote Barney Stinson "suit up"
2. Puntuality- get there early, again first impression
3. Know a bit about the job and the company.
4. Mock interview- Get a friend to do a mock interview, common questions, why you want the job, what attributes you can bring to the role etc.
5. Try not to be nervous- Be calm and speak clearly.

These are just off the top of my head. Best of luck

All these are important to consider OP. Know something about the wealth management and fund financial industry. They could ask you a question on what you know about it and what it is!

Have questions prepared in advance and know how you will answer them. There will be questions you might be asked and not have prepared but have an idea what you would say if certain questions arise, all about showing initiative and innovation. Also have pre-prepared questions you wish to ask the company after you have been interviewed, it shows interest!

General questions is fine nothing too specific about the role other than asking what the responsibilities are don't mention salary or benefits or holiday leave or anything like that. Maybe asking about what Software or systems they use for accounting purposes, what the working environment and culture is like there, and about the contract whether its fixed or what ever and if there is a chance of furthering your studies which you might have to do financial exams for the role in the future and what opportunities is there for further job opportunities in the company.

The might ask you competency and behavioural type questions. Also know your CV inside out, they probably ask about college projects and work projects and about your college course and work experience be the major things to keep an eye out for. Any kind of technical stuff related to accounting you could be asked, and what accounting software you might have experience with.

Good luck with your interview OP!

You should write out answers to questions you think they are going to ask so when they do ask you will know the structure of the answer and you wont fumble your way through it. I know you cant guess every question you will be asked but there should be some of the general ones you can guess such as previous experience etc...

Competency Based Interviews are generally all about preparation and the method of answering. There's quite a bit more in this link talking about Situation, Behaviour, Outcome.
