The interview process is fairly short and quick, I applied at the end of December 2021, and had my (audio) phone interview at the end of the first week of 2022. Then I got moved on to the face-to-face interview (also virtual) which was in the second week of February, and was offered a position towards the end of the month.

They like to see that you know a lot about the company so, yes, look up the general things on their website, but also look for any recent developments (have they got any new clients recently?). This shows you're really interested.
They also ask what skills you have which you think are relevant (showing you're technically / analytical skills and any relevant experience you have is really important here).
Other Questions are:
Why FD?
What do you know about our KX software?
Situation judgement questions (like those you see in tests for the Big 4 firms).
Then of course they ask you at the end if you have any questions for them, and I'd really advise having one or two questions ready because again this makes you look very interested.
