In some ways, this can be a trap question. You want to sound ambitious but also humble. In order to accomplish this, talk about how you are excited in the immediate term by the role you are interviewing for. Then talk about how you like to learn and continue to grow in the organization.

I'm aiming to complete my ACCA exams, I have 4 left out of 13. So hopefully in 5 years' time, I will be a certified chartered accountant. I also expect I will have progressed significantly in my career and will be making a greater contribution. I hope to stay with the company and would prove my value to this company. I hope to be given greater responsibilities and challenges.
