Hire Fast With Confidence - Get The Guide

"Our team used Accountest as an assessment tool for all our existing Senior Account Managers. Not only were we able to evaluate their current skillset and determine their “grinder”, “minder” or "finder" mindset or personality, we used the evaluation as a launching point to start coaching them to become the best accountant possible in their particular setting and style. Great service and fantastic results that we can use now and in the future during recruitment of new team members!"
Jane Lyall, Chief of Staff - Streamline Accounting

"I highly recommend Accountests to any firm looking to improve its hiring process. This resource has been an invaluable asset to our practice for discernment in hiring candidates. The tests provided by the website give us information that we cannot gather from an interview or a resume alone. It is a missing piece of the hiring process that has saved our firm thousands of dollars by preventing a mis-hire."

Career & Professional Development with APPQ 

The Accountants Personality Profile Questionnaire (APPQ) is the first personality assessment designed specifically for accountants and bookkeepers

APPQ was created by blending the world’s most reliable and valid measures of personality with the behaviors and traits identified as essential to success in current and future accounting roles.

APPQ personality reports act as a diagnostic tool to assist in the ongoing training and development of accountants and bookkeepers. APPQ takes a snapshot of their personality profile, identifying traits and behaviors that could enable or derail their long-term career goals. APPQ also delivers a personal/professional development plan of recommendations to assist participants in reaching their career goals.

Imagine understanding:

Where each team members sits right now in relation to where you want them to be to perform effectively

A tailored personal and professional development plan for each team member as a guide upon which to base training and coaching to help them develop rewarding careers that improve retention and motivation in your business

Why some of your seemingly competent staff struggle to take on new challenges that would grow your business and their careers; then deliver targeted coaching and development to help them overcome barriers.

Why some members of your team clash, how to manage those conflicts and build a team stronger because of its differences, not divided by them.

That you are building a culture where personal and professional development is outwardly recognized by candidates wondering which employment offer to accept

What does this test cover?

The Accountants Personality Profile Questionnaire (APPQ) for teams provides valuable insights into how staff members:

handle accounting ethical issues

build and maintain rewarding relationships internally, and with clients when acting as trusted advisors

deliver compliance tasks on time and to expected quality standards

cope with the stresses and strains of working in an accounting practice

Who is this test for?

The APPQ is suited to businesses that want to develop their staff to meet the needs of their clients and grow a culture where good people stay because they know their employer has their interests at heart.

The APPQ is suitable for accountants and bookkeepers of all levels including managers and admin/support staff.

Use the report to identify how team members relate to traits associated with success in the job, identify gaps between current state and desired future state, then agree training and development plans to help them reach their career goals.
