Walk us through an investment declaration that you will show to your senior management.

Try to avoid talking about software when you are answering this interview question for a financial analyst. Focus on elaborating your thinking process here. 

You can mention that you first try to understand the intent of an investment decision. Then you would collate income statements, cash flow statements, and balance sheets. After collecting financial information, you would ask senior management if there is any change required from business partners. In the end, you may also want to suggest other investment options.
