    Hi,

    After months of applying for every accountancy job within a commutable radius, I have finally got an interview for an accounts payable position. :)

    Having coming from a practice background (4 years) and a qualified accountant (ACA) I'm not too sure what my prospective employer will be looking for.

    Anyone being for interview for a similar role or work in accounts payable, what kind of questions would be asked at interview and whats the job like?

    Any help appreciated....

    Are you saying that you're a qualified ACA accountant with 4 years PQE?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 37 Giving it a go


    No, 3 years to qualify and 1 year PQE

    On the face of it, you sound overqualified.

    If you look up any job adverts for accounts payable positions, what will be under requirements will give you a fair idea of what is needed and what they will be inquiring about. Some basic accounting experience(ideally in AP), communication skills, things like that I'd imagine.

    lol! This is Ireland. Qualifed accountants are having to take positions in accounts payable. And being only part-qualified this is why I can't get a job...

    Still, good luck though.
