Interview to Discuss Your Financial Model - Case Study

Hello! I'm interviewing for a mid-level Financial Strategy role and for the case study, they had me create a financial statement model (mainly just P&L). I have an interview with a hiring manager coming up to discuss my work. I assume that the interview will begin with being asked to walk her through my model and the logic behind my assumptions. Do any of you have any ideas on what questions I should prepare for? 

For context, the job responsibilities entail forecasting performance & short/long-term trends, providing strategic insights to key stakeholders, guiding investment capacity decisions; and analyzing business results and extracting key takeaways (ex: risks, opportunities, etc.). This is a pretty big career pivot for me so I have no experience with interviews of this kind. Would love to hear any and all thoughts!
