Novogradac & Company Staff Accountant Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details – I was first contacted for a phone interview with the recruiter. Other than being asked the general interview questions (tell me about yourself, why public accounting, etc), be prepared to answer questions about your resume and about the company. Make sure you have some idea about what they do. The phone interview lasted about 30 minutes.

A few days later I received an email for the first round in-house interview, which consisted an interview with the supervisor and an assessment test, which lasted about 45 minutes. I think if you've done well in intro to financial accounting, you should be fine. A few days later the recruiter contacted me and asked me to come back for a second in-house interview, which consisted of interviews with the staff accountant, supervisor, manager and partner. Ask a lot of questions, be yourself and you should be fine. All my interviewers were pretty down to earth and I think HR did a pretty good job in notifying candidates in a prompt manner about where they are in the interview process.

Interview Details – Just had a phone interview. I was not hired. HR was nice though.

Interview Details – I've received an email from the company's recruiter the next day after I applied online. We scheduled the phone interview next day after that which took around 20-30 minutes. Typical interview questions were asked including "Why do you want to work in public accounting", "Most/least rewarding experince you had", "Your salary expectations", etc. Then I emailed them my unofficial transcrips. Four days later I received another email saying I was selected to proceed to the next step of the recruiting process which is 3 hour office visit. 5 days later I've met with the recruiter, the Staff Accountant and two managers who were all very nice and professional. The questions were regarding my resume, and typical interview questions like "What are your best skills", "How do you manage to work under pressure", "What do you know about the company", etc. There was also a 45-minute test for the basic knowledge of Excel and accounting principles. Please, revise your amortization/depreciation knowledge for the test. Overall, I had a great experience interviewing with Novogradac & Company and I'm supposed to hear from them this week regarding the internship.

Interview Details – I applied online and received a phone interview after 2 days. After a week the recruiter called in. Overall the interview is easy, questions about your resume, how much you know about the company, no situational questions. The recruiter was not very professional and was not enthusiastic about his job. I feel like he doesn't know much about his own company because he failed to answer some of my questions.

Interview Details – Applied online and had a phone interview which took about 30 mins. Will be going in for an one on one interview which will consist of an assessment test of Microsoft Excel and basic accounting principles.

Interview Details – I applied online and received an email to schedule a phone interview with a recruiter. The interview went well and I was sent another email a few days later asking me to send in my transcript and also proved a few days when I would be able to come in for an office visit/interview. I went in a few weeks later and had a one on one interview with a Principal. This was followed by a skills test covering accounting principles as well as Microsoft Excel skills.

Interview Details – they only ask general questions but they focused on what you know about their company.
The essay question is about why you wanna work in public accounting and why this company.
the accounting test is not as hard as I expected,however, you stll need to know how to do amortizations.
