About the work
Walk me through how you handle month-end close, from journal entries through to balance sheet reconciliations. What's your process for making sure nothing slips through?

What experience do you have with standard costing and annual cost updates in a manufacturing environment?
What they are checking: whether they have actual manufacturing cost accounting exposure, called out as preferred in the posting

What they are checking: depth of hands-on knowledge with E&O and lower of cost or net realizable value work
Have you used SAP or OneStream? Walk me through a task you did regularly in one of those systems.
What they are checking: real system fluency versus resume keyword matching
How do you make sure your journal entries and reconciliations stay compliant with GAAP and company policy when you're moving fast during close?
