Accountests Expands Pre-Hire Testing Suite with Critical Reasoning and Bookkeeper/Admin Reasoning Tests

Napier, New Zealand – February 28, 2025 -- Accountests, the leading provider of pre-hire testing solutions for accounting and bookkeeping roles, announced today the launch of two new assessments: the Critical Reasoning Test and the Bookkeeper & Admin Reasoning Test.

“These two tests round out our test offering so accounting firms and those in business and industry can now use a full suite of pre-hire testing covering skills, personality, and now ability,” explained  Accountests Co-Founder, Steve Evans. “These tests are developed specifically for firms hiring accountants and bookkeepers. Results will help them answer such questions as: ‘Can they make sense of data?’ or ‘Can they understand complex information?’ or ‘Will they learn fast?’” Evans added.

The Critical Reasoning Test measures the candidate’s ability to evaluate information, identify logical connections, and make sound judgments under pressure—skills essential for accountants and analysts working with complex data.

The Bookkeeper & Admin Reasoning Test focuses on practical reasoning skills required to manage financial records and administrative tasks accurately and efficiently.

“Our latest pre-hire assessments strengthen Accountests’ ability to support accounting firms and businesses in making smarter hiring decisions by going beyond technical knowledge and personality fit by adding a clear measure of reasoning ability,” noted Giles Pearson, Co-Founder and Director “The tests are applicable for all roles, but particularly useful when the role comes with expectations for quick advancement, such as for graduates,” he 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 reduce hiring risks, improve retention, and place the right people in the right roles.
