Bookkeeper Hiring Test

The Australian Bookkeeper Test is designed for people who are working at a level below an accountant, but whose job includes bookkeeping functions using current cloud accounting software.  The test assesses knowledge of processing financial information, double entry accounting, ability to produce accurate month end accounts and the ability to interpret financial information to add value to the business owner.

Different competency levels assessed within the test determine the range of abilities and value the candidate can add to the business owner.

Job titles this test is applicable for could include Bookkeeper or Office Manager.

This is a country-specific test for Australia, with annually updated questions to reflect current Australian taxation rates and financial reporting requirements.

The test was designed in conjunction with the Australian Bookkeepers Network members.   Are you a member?  Go to their website to collect your 20% member benefit discount when purchasing this test.
