What finance and accounting tests cover
The tests cover practical work across bookkeeping, financial reporting, budgeting, audit, finance, and accounting software. For core bookkeeping, Accounting Fundamentals measures double-entry records, ledgers, trial balances, adjusting entries, and financial statements. Accounts Payable focuses on supplier invoices, payments, journal entries, and reconciliations. Accounts Receivable covers customer balances, credit and collection policies, and gaps in records.
For financial statements, choose a test for the relevant framework: Financial Accounting (US GAAP) or Financial Accounting (IFRS). Both are Intermediate and measure transaction recording and statement work under their named framework. The Advanced accounting tests go further: Advanced Accounting (GAAP) measures applied US GAAP knowledge, while Advanced Accounting (IFRS) measures applying IFRS principles and keeping period-end records.
Other tests address areas such as audit judgment, financial management, costing, and accounting software. Each test is multiple choice. Most take 10 minutes; Budgeting takes 13.
Choose a test by role and level
For bookkeepers, accounts assistants, and staff who keep books, start with Intermediate Accounting Fundamentals. Add the applicable Intermediate financial accounting test if the role prepares or reviews statements under US GAAP or IFRS. For bookkeeping work in a named software product, use QuickBooks Online (US) for the US edition, QuickBooks Online (UK) for UK books, or Xero for Xero transaction, bank reconciliation, and report work.
For accounts payable and receivable specialists, select the corresponding Intermediate test to focus on supplier or customer records. For audit staff, Internal Auditing suits internal audit roles, while International Standards on Auditing covers applying those standards to audit decisions. Both are Intermediate.
For senior accountants, accounting managers, and other roles needing a strong framework-specific command, consider an Advanced accounting test. For finance roles that build or review spreadsheet models, Financial Modeling in Excel is Advanced. Intermediate options include Financial Management for cash, project evaluation, funding, budgets, and forecasts, and Financial Due Diligence for reviewing a target business's value, condition, risks, and accounts.
Combine tests around the work
Choose tests that reflect the responsibilities of the role, rather than adding unrelated topics. For a bookkeeping position, pair Accounting Fundamentals with the relevant software test if the job uses QuickBooks Online or Xero. If the role also handles customer or supplier balances, add Accounts Receivable or Accounts Payable, respectively.
For an accounting role that prepares financial statements, combine a general bookkeeping test with the Intermediate financial accounting test for the framework used in the job. For more senior work that applies that framework at period end, consider adding the matching Advanced test. For audit work, combine an accounting test with Internal Auditing or International Standards on Auditing, according to whether the role focuses on internal audit or applying the International Standards on Auditing.
For finance roles, match the extra test to the work: Budgeting measures budget figures and spending rules, while Financial Math measures financial calculations and investment or financing choices. Use results as evidence for a person to review alongside the role's responsibilities, not as a decision on their own.
How the tests address fairness
The fairness details differ by test, but many explain that questions avoid relying on local laws, tax rules, customs, or industry knowledge that the test does not measure. For example, Accounting Fundamentals uses general double-entry principles rather than a country's tax or payroll rules. Financial Accounting (IFRS) uses neutral currency units and does not depend on national tax rules or local regulations.
Plain wording is another stated measure. The Accounting Terminology (US) questions use short, plain sentences, and Accounts Receivable uses common, plain account names. These choices are intended to keep the focus on the accounting knowledge or skill being assessed rather than reading speed or local knowledge.
Where a test's fairness note specifies calculation support, candidates may use the on-screen calculator and scratch paper. This applies to tests including Accounts Payable and Financial Management. Other tests describe different supports: Xero notes that its arithmetic needs no calculator, and Internal Auditing keeps amounts free of currency symbols. Where a calculator or scratch paper is offered, every candidate gets the same one.
