About the Xero test
Xero is a New Zealand based technology company specializing in cloud-based accounting software geared mainly toward small and medium-sized businesses. Hiring an accountant or bookkeeper proficient in Xero will allow your business to leverage this software for the processing of accounting information, paying bills, generating sales invoices, preparing reconciliations, and running reports to manage the financial aspect of the business.
This Xero test evaluates candidates’ ability to use the software in three key areas: bookkeeping, navigating key features, and reporting.
Candidates who perform well on this test have a strong grasp of Xero and possess practical experience using the software. They have a good understanding of how to navigate the system and process accounting transactions, they know which reports to run for core business functions, and can prepare reconciliations to ensure the company’s financial data is accurate. This test will help you hire bookkeepers and accountants capable of keeping your business finances in order using Xero.

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.
