Excel proficiency is a must for not only a bookkeeper but any role in accounting. At a minimum, a bookkeeper should be able to sort through large amounts of data and analyze that data using pivot tables.

"Yes, I am proficient in Excel. I have used Excel extensively throughout my time in school, as well as in my previous role. For example, I used data sorting and filtering, as well as pivot tables to organize large amounts of data. Additionally, I have experience using V-Lookups and H-Lookups to pull together analysis for our external auditors. I have even dipped my toes into data visualization software such as Tableau, but that is a skill I would like to continue to nurture."
