Australian Bookkeeper Test

 

 

On The Money Bookkeeping has been using Accountests for a year now to recruit qualified accountants internationally for servicing Australian bookkeeping clients. It's a tough test, but it sorts the wheat from the chaff very effectively. It's too expensive not to do testing. We have managed to recruit two excellent staff members in this time that have confirmed the value of this approach and we will continue doing so in the future.

Australian Bookkeeper Test

$150.00

The Australian Bookkeeper/Assistant Accountant 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 would include Office Manager, Assistant Accountant or Bookkeeper.

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.

Hiring managers gain insight into candidate's skills and knowledge levels in each of these four activities, as well as an assessment of their competency level in each activity. You will also be able to identify a candidate's performance in the activities most relevant to the vacant role.
