Accountests is an online knowledge testing company that focuses on recruitment, selection and development assessments for Chartered Accountants, Accounting Graduates, people working towards Chartered Accountant status, Accounting Assistants and Bookkeepers.The business was founded in 2013 to fill a void widely felt by recruiters of accountants at all levels that candidate's frequently did not have the core skills and knowledge to operate at the level desired by the employer, resulting in poor selection decisions, loss of reputation and billable hours whilst remedial training or even dismissal and returning to the recruitment process took place. After a year of R&D involving partner and manager level accountants in public practice, corporate accountants, controllers and CFO's, in conjunction with HR candidate selection specialists and online test platform designers, Accountests went live in New Zealand and Australia in July 2014 and live in the UK in April 2015. We now deliver a series of accountancy and bookkeeping tests that provide recruiting managers, business owners and recruitment consultants with transparent results for easy, timely and informed decision making.Our clients include accounting firms, companies, public sector bodies and recruitment consultants who want to add value to their services. Our tests are designed to be 'added to' rather than 'instead of' existing recruitment and selection processes, bringing a dimension of where a preferred candidate is placed in terms of skills and knowledge essential to success in the job. Employers and new recruits walk into new employment relationships with their eyes open in knowing where current strengths lie and where training needs to be prioritised to get them up to speed. If you value making strong selection decisions and making the most of your existing accounting team, do get in touch.
