If you were CFO of our company, what would keep you up at night?

This is an excellent finance interview question. Take a step back and provide a high-level overview of the company's current financial situation or the financial situation of companies in that industry in general. These are metrics or important statements that you should always be aware of.

You should remember the following statements:

Income statement: Rates of growth, Margins, and Profitability

Balance sheet: Liquidity, capital assets, credit metrics, liquidity ratios, leverage, return on assets (ROA), and return on equity(ROE).

Cash Flow Statements: Short-term and long-term cash flow profiles, as well as any need to raise funds or return capital to shareholders.

Non-financial statements: company culture, government regulation, and capital market conditions.
