After 18 years as a partner with PwC, Giles founded Accountests to help those recruiting accountants make better hiring decisions. 

About Us: Accountests was launched to address requests from public accounting firms and other employers of accountants and bookkeepers for a reliable method of assessing the technical competency of candidates for accounting and bookkeeping roles. Firms experienced the frustration and cost of hiring staff whose actual accounting ability fell significantly short of the abilities claimed on resumes and at interviews; shortfalls that went undetected in existing selection processes.

Our accounting and bookkeeping tests reports provide you with easily interpreted results to make timely and informed hiring decisions. Each test is designed and validated in consultation with partner and senior manager-level accountants in public accounting and corporate businesses to ensure they meet the needs of all those hiring accountants.
