Finance Certification
The Beep Finance certification is an accounting-and-analysis assessment, not a markets one. It starts with the statements themselves: which statement reports revenues and expenses over a period, what a balance sheet reports and as of when, and the accounting equation that everything else is built on. Double-entry bookkeeping is tested on what every transaction must do, because that single rule is what makes the rest of the discipline coherent.
From there it moves into ratio analysis, which is where finance stops being bookkeeping and starts being judgement. Working capital, the current ratio and what it measures about a company, the ratio that best captures financial leverage, and what EBITDA is earnings before — all appear. There are calculation questions too: straight-line depreciation on an asset with a salvage value and a nine-year life, and a net profit margin from a revenue and profit figure.
Indian tax and treasury context is included, because most finance roles here require it: what GST is levied on, and what TDS is. Cash flow classification appears — which activity belongs under Financing Activities — alongside the time value of money and what a rolling forecast is in budgeting. Roughly seven minutes, automatically scored, and the certificate carries a unique verifiable ID.

Finance certification FAQs
Does the Finance certification cover the stock market?
No — markets, exchanges, orders and SEBI regulation are covered in the separate Stock Marketing assessment. This one is corporate finance and accounting: statements, ratios, cash flow, depreciation and tax.
Are there calculation questions?
Yes, a small number. You may be asked to compute straight-line depreciation given cost, salvage value and useful life, or a net profit margin from revenue and net profit.
Is Indian taxation included?
Yes. GST and what it is levied on, and TDS and how it works, are both tested — reflecting what finance roles in India are expected to know.
