Need answers urgently - Accounting Firms

Hey guys,

I have two interviews tomorrow with accounting firms which I have volunteered for.

The thing is that I have no idea what these smaller accounting firms actually do. Even though I have a degree I am quite worried that he will be expecting me to be able to do a lot of things on my own. This opportunity is extremely important and I cannot miss it as I will not get a job without being able to volunteer at their practise.

Can someone please tell me what accounting firms actually do for companies? All I know is that they work for SMEs but what do they do for them? Payroll? Tax? What should I tell him or know about when he asks what kind of things I know about?

Thanks for any help. I have zero work experience in accounting which is why I find this hard straight out of university.
