I have a track record of success. For example, in my last position, I helped the accounting firm attract new clients, built solid, long-lasting relationships with existing clients and was praised for my speed of work and accuracy. If you hire me as an accountant, I will take responsibility for my ongoing development, be a positive role model and work closely with clients to maintain the accounting firm’s excellent reputation.”

SUGGESTED ANSWER
“I’ve had a keen interest in finances since I excelled at school in mathematics.
