Why the Interviewer Asks This Question

Focus Your Answer On
Stating you are comfortable with anything required of you. Even if you have zero financial experience, that's ok. The interviewer wants to know if you would be comfortable, not how much you know about it.

Stay Away From
Focusing on lack of experience with financial information if you don't have any or stating that you are not comfortable handling finances. Don't appear as if you are afraid of finance--a lot of people are! That's also ok, but don't show it!
