£22,000 - £28,000


This business will invest considerable time in training and supporting you to become a qualified accountant, so if that’s what you’re looking for its worth reading on.


With full study support to help you complete your AAT Qualifications and then the opportunity to move onto your ACCA this is a brilliant opportunity and here’s why:


*The firm has 10 staff…. which means you’re not just another number. That means you will get 1 to 1 support, training and mentoring.
*They are an accredited training provider. That means they have been recognised for how good they are at training and developing their employees.
*They want a trainee…. not the finished product. That means they know you won’t know everything, they know you will make mistakes but that’s fine – its all part of the process.
*You will be surrounded by people that have been in your position before. That means they can help you through your studies, and they understand what its like to still be learning.
*The owner genuinely believes in mentoring and developing trainees. That means you will get the time, patience and flexibility to learn at a pace that suits you.


Because it’s a boutique firm every member of staff members, it’s more like a family and everyone rallies around to support each other when things get busy.


Of course there is still work to do and the job is really busy but according to the staff it doesn’t really feel like work; its everyone pulling together to help each other and their clients.


What you will be doing day to day:


This is a training role; so you’re not expected to have done all of the below but between your job and studies you will be covering the following:


*Completing the bookkeeping and VAT for clients
*Supporting with Tax (personal and corporate)
*Producing year end statutory accounts for a number for businesses
*Speaking to your clients on a daily basis to help resolve any queries


What experience you need to be considered:


A great attitude, a willingness to learn and working hard as part of a team are all super important, but alongside this you will need to be able to prove:


*Previous experience at a firm of accountants (minimum of 12 months)
*Confident using accountancy software (e.g. Xero, QuickBooks, Sage)
*Ability to build good relationships with your clients


Other things worth mentioning:

*There is free on-site parking for all staff
*Regular salary reviews are in place as you pass through each step of your studies
