The CFO test assesses the ability to assume primary responsibility for managing an organization’s finances through a series of numerical calculation and multiple-choice questions using real-world scenarios and excerpts of financial reports.
The assessment includes solving work-sample tasks, such as:
- Creating budgets and financial statements based on actual and expected figures.
- Evaluating the viability, stability, and profitability of a business or project.
- Analyze how government policies will affect the market economy in which a business operates.
A good chief financial officer, treasurer, or financial director all need a solid understanding of business math, financial statements and reports, financial analysis, and economics to responsibly oversee the accounting and finance activities of an entire organization.

How much will you have for your down payment if you cash in your term deposit at maturity?

As a manager, it is your responsibility to review the quarterly expense reports submitted by members of your team. Each member of the team is allowed to expense $20,000 annually for work-related travel expenses.
It is now the halfway point in the year, and you need to review the travel expenses claimed so far:
Employee | First-Half Trips (Actual) |
First-Half Expenses (Actual) |
Second-Half Trips (Planned) |
---|---|---|---|
Angel | 5 | $11,100 | 4 |
Breanna | 3 | $13,500 | 2 |
Cillian | 4 | $11,600 | 2 |
Davor | 6 | $12,000 | 3 |
Erik | 4 | $11,000 | 5 |
If each employee's costs continue at their current rate, which employees, if any, will go over budget with their travel expenses in the second half of the year?

What others say
Simple, straight-forward technical testing
TestDome is simple, provides a reasonable (though not extensive) battery of tests to choose from, and doesn't take the candidate an inordinate amount of time. It also simulates working pressure with the time limits.
