"Accountests has completely changed our interview process. No longer do we waste time with the ‘talkers’ who have the gift of being amazing at interviews but who turn out to be not so great at their job! I can honestly say that we will never give up using Accountests."
David Jones FCCA, Lewis Brownlee Chartered Accountants, London & SE England
“Overall Accountests has highlighted the past weakness in our interview process very well and whilst I already rated your product very highly beforehand, the disconnect that can occur between how candidates interview and their test score was a real eye opener for me personally. Straight away this has saved us the time of second interview and staff cost through recruiting weaker candidates.”
Dean Blunden FCA BFP, Director, Ross Brooke Chartered Accountants, Newbury, UK
We have recently started using Accountest assessments along with other profiling products to support our recruitment process. We have found that Accountests gives us the opportunity to understand our candidates accounting ability, which no other product has done until now. It also gives us the opportunity to base further questions for the candidate around what we can see their ability is and enable us to make an informed decision.

Chartered Accountant (Public Practice) Test
The Chartered Accountant Test is designed for candidates who are Chartered Accountant (CA) qualified members of their relevant professional body, such as ICAEW, CIMA, ICAS, ACCA or similar overseas professional accounting organisations.
This test assesses accounting knowledge and skills for roles in Public Practice Chartered Accounting firms (manager level and below) and generalist roles in industry or commerce such as Company Accountant or Financial Controller where the role requires knowledge across all areas of accounting including tax.
This test is country specific to the United Kingdom, with annually updated questions to reflect current taxation rates and financial reporting requirements.
If you're interested in a more industry / commerce related test have a look at the Chartered Accountant (Corporate) Test or the Management Accounting Test.
This test covers four core accounting activities:
- Financial Reporting
- Core Accounting
- Taxation
- Management / Business Advisory
Recruiting managers gain insight into a candidate's skills and knowledge in each of these four activities and identify performance in the activities most relevant to the vacant role, as well as a comparative overall score and performance against a norm group of other qualified accountants.
