Press Release May 2026 - Launch of Staff Accountant in Industry Test

“While we’ve had a Staff Accountant Test focused on public accounting for some time, we’ve seen the need to create one specifically for use by those outside public accounting,” explained  Accountests CEO, Donna Roughan. “Corporate customers came to us and said they would really value a Staff Accountant test specifically for them, so we responded.  Being focused to the demands of all the employers of accountants is one of the core goals for Accountests.” Roughan added. 

The Staff Accountant Test for Industry measures a candidate's knowledge of the practicalities of accounting in an industry setting, including debits and credits, review of financial information and concepts. The tests always focus on issues candidates will experience in day-to-day work.   

“These tests bring the total number of tests focused specifically on the hiring needs of employers of accountants to 32.  And there are more tests in the pipeline.  This additional assessment strengthens Accountests’ ability to support accounting firms in making smarter hiring decisions,” noted Roughan.  “Having this range of testing available instantly allows employers of accountants to move fast, using tests which are exactly in line with the skills they are needing.  They can stop guessing.” she added 

With the latest additions to its pre-hire testing suite, Accountests now offers the most comprehensive range of assessments tailored for the accounting profession, helping firms and accounting departments reduce hiring risks, improve retention, and place the right people in the right roles.
