Career & Professional Development with APPQ 

The Accountants Personality Profile Questionnaire (APPQ) is the first personality assessment designed specifically for accountants and bookkeepers 

APPQ was created by blending the world’s most reliable and valid measures of personality with the behaviours and traits identified as essential to success in current and future accounting roles. 

APPQ personality reports act as a diagnostic tool to assist in the ongoing training and development of accountants and bookkeepers. APPQ takes a snapshot of their personality profile, identifying traits and behaviours that could enable or derail their long-term career goals. APPQ also delivers a personal/professional development plan of recommendations to assist participants in reaching their career goals. 

Imagine understanding:

• Where each team members sits right now in relation to where you want them to be to perform effectively  

• A tailored personal and professional development plan for each team member as a guide upon which to base training and coaching to help them develop rewarding careers that improve retention and motivation in your business     

• Why some of your seemingly competent staff struggle to take on new challenges that would grow your business and their careers; then deliver targeted coaching and development to help them overcome barriers. 

• Why some members of your team clash, how to manage those conflicts and build a team stronger because of its differences, not divided by them.  

• That you are building a culture where personal and professional development is outwardly recognized by candidates wondering which employment offer to accept  

What does this test cover?

The Accountants Personality Profile Questionnaire (APPQ) provides valuable insights into how staff members:

• handle accounting ethical issues 

• build and maintain rewarding relationships internally, and with clients when acting as trusted advisors 

• deliver compliance tasks on time and to expected quality standards

The APPQ is suitable for accountants and bookkeepers of all levels including managers and admin/support staff. 

Use the report to identify how team members relate to traits associated with success in the job, identify gaps between current state and desired future state, then agree training and development plans to help them reach their career goals.
