Non-CPA Public Accounting Test
Test for Hiring Non-CPA Accountants
The Non-CPA Public Accounting Test is designed for those working as accountants, but who are not CPA's. This would include those with a degree in accounting, those working towards CPA membership or those with no formal qualifications but whose work experience and job categorizes them as accountants.
This test assesses accounting knowledge and skills for roles in public accounting firms. Job roles could include Staff Accountant or Client Accounting Manager.
The test is country-specific to the USA, with annually updated questions to reflect current taxation law. If you're looking for a test focused on corporate or company roles take a look at our Non-CPA Corporate Accountant Test.
This test covers four core accounting activities:
- Financial Reporting
- Double Entry Accounting
- Taxation (Federal only)
- Business Advisory & Analysis
Gain insight into candidate's skills and knowledge in each of these four activities, as well as a comparative overall score and performance against a norm group of other similarly qualified accountants. You can also identify a candidate's performance in the activities most relevant to your vacant role.
