"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."
Carmen Morris, Owner & Accountant - On The Money Bookkeeping, Melbourne, AU
"The candidate we hired is doing a fantastic job in the role with us. Her skills and knowledge seem to be at the right level for what we need, and she’s bringing new ideas about how to improve our bookkeeping too.
We are really happy with the how the testing allowed us to distinguish between candidates and it seems to have led us (along with interviews and other recruitment and induction processes) to us a great staff member who is happy in the role and doing a great job."
Fiona Thomas, Financial Adviser and General Manager - Ethinvest, AU

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.

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