In this chat, I'm going to review why you want to self-assess your skills (or assess your bookkeeper's skills before hiring) by taking a bookkeeping test.
Why You Want Accurate Bookkeeping?Accurate bookkeeping benefits your business in the following ways: - Legally reduces your income tax owing by maximizing your tax deductions
- Helps you remain compliant with CRA or IRS by reducing your late filing penalties and interest charges
- Assists you in obtaining third party financing or selling your business
- Helps you manage your cash flow by tracking your accounts receivables and payables
- Helps you make business decisions based on good data instead of the seat of your pants
With accurate records so important to business success, you really do need to determine if you are skilled enough to do your own books. Taking a bookkeeping test will assist you in deciding if this particular task is a good fit for you and your business. It will uncover your strengths and weaknesses in your knowledge base ... so you can take corrective action.

The Accounting Coach website has a lot of free, helpful information ... but you have to purchase the exams. I used all of the tests and exams to help me study for my certification exam ... It calmed my nerves to be able to practice taking exams ... as it had been awhile since I had written a formal exam. As this is a U.S. based website, some of the test questions pertain specifically to U.S. payroll and taxes. I just skipped over those initially, then went back and studied the equivalent Canadian information. You will gain the confidence you need ... assure yourself that debits and credits, accounting basics, and how various accounts work are understood. The exams used to be available to be purchased as stand alone products. Unfortunately, now you can only obtain access to the exams by purchasing a membership to AccountingCoach Pro. At $49 USD, it is still a great value as it includes a basic bookkeeping seminar and other study aids. For positive reinforcement of the material, the word scrambles and quizzes are enjoyable ... even if I couldn't figure out all the puzzle answers without looking it up.

I have a budget to purchase products so I can determine whether I can recommend them to visitors of my site. I purchased the 2009 version of this package. It was good value for your money then. In November 2011, the product was repackaged to what you see today. I purchased the upgrade offered to gain access to the membership area for life. Most of the information is scattered throughout the Accounting Coach website for free ... but it ties you to the computer and you have to search for what you want. What I still really like is being able to print out the material and work away from my computer when I want to. Your purchase includes lifetime access to all updates with no recurring fees. The convenience is worth the price. Click here to view more details. In the event you are dissatisfied with your purchase, this product/service has a 90-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked. If you have want to self assess your bookkeeping skills ... then I urge you to click here to find out more about this exclusive membership area of The Accounting Coach. I recommend AccountingCoach Pro, and I know you will find it a valuable resource. Remeber the only way to gain access to the bookkeeping tests and exams is to become a member. You should know that after purchasing the 2009 Master Accounting Download Package, I signed up to be an affiliate of Accounting Coach. This means I like their products. If you join AccountingCoach Pro by using the link below, I receive a small commission that enables me to continue offering articles to you for free. The Master Accounting Download Package is still available to download in the member's only area ... just in case you were wondering.
Still can't decide ... here are some sample bookkeeping exam questionsThe exam format is fill in the blank, true or false, or multiple choice. It can be downloaded in pdf format and printed or taken online. I don't recommend taking the exams online because as soon as you hover your mouse, it gives you the answer ... so it is not really an exam when you get the answer BEFORE/WHILE you respond. My preference would be for you to get your score with the answers AFTER you have completed the exam.
