That’s true for other roles, like an MBA grad that can discuss financial principles but can’t navigate Quickbooks or use Excel.
From my admittedly limited understanding, many of those openings are filled based on resume and verbal interviews with little or no quantitative evaluation of skills.
Use Excel yes. I'd expect an MBA grad to know the accounting principles that Quickbooks is based on and maybe puzzle out how to use it but not be fluent in it to the degree I'd expect of Excel.
