Hire Fast With Confidence - Get The Guide

"After each of our partners completed the 'Pathway to Partnership' personality profile, Accountests provided a comprehensive team assessment and facilitated a valuable feedback session. They highlighted potential risks and offered practical strategies for addressing them through targeted training and development."
Sarah Johnson, CPTD Talent Development Specialist - ELO CPAs & Advisors - SD, USA

"Our team used Accountest as an assessment tool for all our existing Senior Account Managers. Not only were we able to evaluate their current skillset and determine their “grinder”, “minder” or "finder" mindset or personality, we used the evaluation as a launching point to start coaching them to become the best accountant possible in their particular setting and style. Great service and fantastic results that we can use now and in the future during recruitment of new team members!"
