Consulting with clients at Allan Gray will likely put you in a situation where you need to put on your investigative detective hat and do some extra digging to be able to provide great results to a client. For this question, talk about your interpersonal skills with your ability to work with others when needed. As well, talk about your ability to research and understand different financial statements and software programs to get the information that you need to solve a problem.

"Through my experience in working in corporate finance across many industries during my career, I am confident in my ability to troubleshoot issues I may have along the way when working with new clients. If I ever came across this situation when on a project with a client, I would start be using my best judgement and analytical skills to search for the information on my own in financial statements and accounting software of the client. If I was still left scratching my head, I wouldn't hesitate to sit down with employees in the finance department or leaders of the organization to pull the information that I would need."
