BEFORE YOU START

Your QuickBooks questions, answered.

Do candidates use QuickBooks during the test?

This is a question-based QuickBooks knowledge assessment, rather than a task completed inside the software. Add a practical work sample when the role needs evidence of hands-on performance.

Which QuickBooks topics should matter for my role?

Start with the work the person will do. This page covers setup & transactions, banking & reconciliation, financial reports. Decide which of those areas matter for your role before reviewing results, and explore any specialist requirements separately.

Can I combine QuickBooks with other tests?

Yes. Add QuickBooks alongside other relevant tests in one assessment. Choose the combination for your role and review the total time before inviting candidates.

Can I assess real candidates for free?

Yes. Create your account, build an assessment and invite candidates. Your first 5 candidate results are free. No credit card is required.
