Basic Bookkeeping Knowledge Test

Basic Bookkeeping Tests are for screening candidates who need to have mastered a basic level of bookkeeping knowledge. Subject areas include term definitions and usage, interpreting formulas or spreadsheet entries and solving problems. The tests are available in both a timed version (15 minutes) and an untimed version.

Purpose

You need an accounting professional. You need someone who fits into the company culture and is smart enough to handle the mentally-challenging tasks of your business. You need someone with experience; someone who has encountered and solved a variety of challenges so they bring this experience to your business and help you move forward. They also need integrity, maturity, and the assertiveness to willingly convey when something is wrong with the numbers. That’s why you need to test before you hire with the Accounting Professional Test. Save time and money by hiring the right accounting professional the first time. Test your candidates online with a specialized accounting personality and aptitude test. Get the facts, get the numbers, and feel confident in your hiring decision.

What It’s Best Used For

This test is best used during the pre-employment vetting or internal promotion phase for bookkeepers, financial specialists, and accounting clerks to confirm on-the-job competency and maturity before hiring.

• Verifying Operational Basics: Subject content directly measures an applicant’s command over financial term definitions, spreadsheet entry interpretations, and formula usage.
• Evaluating Cognitive Capacity: The general mental ability segment confirms the hire is sharp enough to independently navigate mentally challenging corporate tasks.
• Screening for Professional Integrity: The unique behavioral scale targets soft skills to identify mature, assertive professionals who will willingly speak up if errors arise in the numbers.
• Unproctored Remote Distribution: The platform requires no active oversight, supports English and Spanish settings, and provides immediate online score reports to accelerate recruitment timelines. (Note: This assessment is fully legal for use in Canada).
