About the QuickBooks Online test
Our QuickBooks assessment test helps you measure skills in the UK version of the accounting and bookkeeping software. It’s a great way for candidates to show you how they manage business finances using different QuickBooks tools – without you relying on resumes alone.
For example, the multiple-choice test measures an applicant’s ability to:
Set up a company and maintain lists
Process pricing and sales transactions
Set up products and services
Process customer payments and refunds
Manage supplier purchases and expenses, balance sheets, and refunds
Set up the banking function
Prepare bank account reconciliations and other accounting functions
However, the test doesn’t cover sales taxes in QuickBooks Online, as that process and requirements differ from country to country.
Candidates who perform well on the QuickBooks skills test are:
Practically experienced with the software and have strong knowledge of its functions
Confident using QuickBooks software for various everyday accounting tasks
Adept at navigating and processing transactions and reports on demand
Reliable at producing accurate reconciliations and recording data
Check out the test’s preview questions for a sample of what to expect. You can customize our QuickBooks Online questions as part of a multi-measure assessment, too.

What our customers are saying
TestGorilla helps me to assess engineers rapidly. Creating assessments for different positions is easy due to pre-existing templates. You can create an assessment in less than 2 minutes. The interface is intuitive and it’s easy to visualize results per assessment.

Any tool can have functions—bells and whistles. Not every tool comes armed with staff passionate about making the user experience positive.
The TestGorilla team only offers useful insights to user challenges, they engage in conversation.
For instance, I recently asked a question about a Python test I intended to implement. Instead of receiving “oh, that test would work perfectly for your solution,” or, “at this time we’re thinking about implementing a solution that may or may not…” I received a direct and straightforward answer with additional thoughts to help shape the solution.
I hope that TestGorilla realizes the value proposition in their work is not only the platform but the type of support that’s provided.
For a bit of context—I am a diversity recruiter trying to create a platform that removes bias from the hiring process and encourages the discovery of new and unseen talent.

Why are QuickBooks skills important to employers?
Employers need to keep their finances ticking over and businesses thriving. They need accurate record-taking, reporting, and billing to ensure compliance, measure success, and inform better decision-making.
While some may be able to afford contracting an accounting firm, many look for finance experts who can confidently and competently use bookkeeping software without supervision.
Skilled QuickBooks users appeal to these needs because they can use the software to manage a wide range of complex business finances. They can create detailed reports and invoices and manage sales, inventory, and expenses. They’re focused, proactive, and love working with data – ideal for firms experiencing rapid growth.
It’s clear that employers have realized how important QuickBooks skills are – more than 25,000 small businesses in the UK alone use the software.
4 competencies to look for with our QuickBooks test
Our QuickBooks online test helps you validate skills based on the following competencies:
Company setup and management: The applicant can set up a company or online account in QuickBooks and build lists, e.g., for customers and suppliers.
Customer transactions: The candidate processes sales, sets up services, and handles customer purchases and refunds.
Banking and accounting functions: The applicant can set up basic banking functions, process journal entries, run reports, and prepare reconciliations.
Supplier transactions: The applicant can process expenses, purchases, refunds, and bill payments for suppliers.

Accountants analyze financial data, generate reports, build forecasts, and support budget decision-making

Create a multi-measure assessment: 4 tests to pair with the QuickBooks test
Don’t assume you can hire a top financial data expert on a QuickBooks test alone. To hire a well-rounded accountant, bookkeeper, or business admin, you need a multi-measure assessment covering a range of skills.
With TestGorilla, you can test up to five technical and soft skills in one assessment, and it’s easy to add and remove tests whenever you need to. Here are four that we recommend you use alongside our QuickBooks practice test:
Financial Management test: Hire candidates who can use QuickBooks and make reasoned decisions regarding capital, investments, and forecasting
Accounts Payable test: Measure applicants’ ability to record credit transactions and reconcile accounts payable, supported by their knowledge of QuickBooks
Attention to Detail test: Recruit a proactive QuickBooks expert who can accurately record and report on complex financial data
Working with Data test: Evaluate a candidate’s ability to input, manage, manipulate, and analyze financial data in general, supported by QuickBooks
Note: This example assessment includes our role-specific Accounts Payable test. You can swap this test for one better suited to your hiring needs – for example, our Accounts Receivable test.
