1Question

Tell me about a time when you identified a significant variance in financial reporting

During my monthly variance analysis at a software company, I noticed our subscription revenue was £18,000 below budget despite new client acquisitions. I investigated the general ledger and discovered that 3 enterprise contracts worth £6,000 monthly each had been incorrectly deferred due to a system error in our revenue recognition process. I immediately flagged this to my manager and worked with the sales team to verify contract terms. I then prepared correcting journal entries and implemented a monthly checklist to prevent similar issues. This not only corrected our current month figures but also established better controls that caught 2 similar errors over the following quarter.
2Question

Describe a situation where you had to improve a financial process

Our month-end close was consistently taking 8 working days, mainly due to manual bank reconciliations across 6 accounts. I analysed the process and identified that 60% of time was spent on data entry and matching transactions. I researched automation options and proposed implementing bank feed integration with our accounting system. After getting approval, I worked with IT to set up the feeds and created standardised reconciliation templates. I also trained 2 colleagues on the new process. The result was reducing our month-end close to 5 working days and eliminating approximately 15 hours of manual work per month, while improving accuracy from 94% to 99%.
