About the Accounting terminology (US) test
Every profession has its own terminologies and jargon that help convey a large volume of information and other relevant details through a very small statement or even a single word.
The accounting profession also has a large number of unique terminologies. These terminologies are used to describe financial information and related processes. Financial information can incorporate lots of different things: the right to receive an amount from another person; the obligation to pay an amount to another person; how much you have earned or lost or expended during a certain period; or the total worth of a business entity or a particular thing. Accountants use terms and phrases to quickly communicate the meaning of financial information, and this hiring test focuses on these terms.
Candidates who perform well on the test are likely to possess a good understanding of key accounting terminologies used in the United States. The hiring test will ensure that candidates will be a good addition to the accounting team at your company and that candidates will immediately start performing their job efficiently and effectively.

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.
