Hire Fast With Confidence - Get The Guide

"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!"
Jane Lyall, Chief of Staff - Streamline Accounting

"Accountests is a vital tool for improving hiring. By having systematized testing, we can have more confidence in the technical capabilities of our hires. Highly recommend! We use the tests for all of our new hires."
Jeremy Eckert, CPA, CMA, MBA - Partner, Trail CPA - AZ, USA

"I highly recommend Accountests to any firm looking to improve its hiring process. This resource has been an invaluable asset to our practice for discernment in hiring candidates. The tests provided by the website give us information that we cannot gather from an interview or a resume alone. It is a missing piece of the hiring process that has saved our firm thousands of dollars by preventing a mis-hire."
