What is a CFO test?
A CFO test helps employers to shortlist those candidates who are most likely to excel in the position of Chief Financial Officer.
The test asks a series of multiple-choice questions to evaluate a candidate's knowledge of financial management and spreadsheet software, as well as organisational, leadership, team management and communication skills.
A high score in this test indicates that a candidate might have the level of experience and aptitude needed to perform at the highest level of seniority in a financial role.

About the CFO Test
CFOs have ultimate responsibility for the planning and management of the finance and accounting operations within an organization. They sign off on all financial reporting and provide strategic recommendations to the board of directors. This test assesses a candidate's aptitude in terms of the skills and experience required to be a CFO.
Why should you use a CFO test for recruiting?
Shortlisting for a CFO position can be difficult: it's a critical role, and all applicants are likely to be highly experienced and well qualified.
A CFO test can be easily administered to a large number of candidates to provide comparative data. This gives you more insight into the suitability of each candidate.
The test highlights a candidate's level of numeracy, financial literacy, situational awareness and leadership, among other abilities. Applicants who best meet the requirements of the role can be interviewed, while those who do not demonstrate the required level of proficiency can be excluded.

How our test assesses CFO skills
Candidates will need to answer a range of questions that measure industry-specific technical skills where applicable (e.g. Microsoft Excel), soft skills (e.g. leadership), aptitude (e.g. numerical reasoning) and relevant personality dimensions (e.g. planning). The results present a holistic view of how well suited each candidate is for the job at hand, using a data-driven approach.
The format varies by type of question, including multiple-choice for aptitude and technical skills, situational judgement for soft skills and agreement on a Likert scale for the personality dimensions. This approach ensures candidates are being assessed in an accurate and fair manner, and that results reflect the true underlying qualities of each candidate.
The characteristics, abilities and knowledge necessary to be a CFO were identified using the US Department of Labor's comprehensive O*NET database. O*NET is the leading source of occupational information that is constantly updated by collecting data from employees in specific job roles.
During the development process, test questions were rigorously analysed to maximise reliability and validity in line with industry best practices. They were created by our team of I/O psychologists and psychometricians – who collaborated with subject-matter-experts – and field-tested with a representative sample of job applicants who have varying experience, just like you might find in a talent pool.
Each test is reviewed by a panel of individuals representing diverse backgrounds to check for any sensitivity, fairness, face validity and accessibility issues. This ensures each candidate has a fair chance of demonstrating their true level of expertise.
Our CFO test is monitored to ensure it is up-to-date and optimised for performance.
