Noble Accounting, Los Angeles, CA
Kevin Matthews, Founder & President
"Accountests fills the critical gap of testing candidates’ knowledge rather than relying on their interview performance. Nobody should hire an accounting staff member without giving them one of these tests first."
Monash University, Melbourne, Australia
Amanda Michael, Faculty Finance
"I recently used Accountests as we were looking for a way to assess technical management accountant ability to supplement our interviews of shortlisted candidates. It helped inform our decision and would definitely use it again."
