How do I explain a layoff in interviews? after 8 years as an accountant

I have an interview next week and I am unsure how to explain why I left my last job as an accountant. I have read a lot of threads here and could not find my exact situation. I do not want to blame the company. Do they ask follow-ups?

If a company has been in the news for layoffs, you can mention that. Often the interviewer already knows.
