Summary
This is an exciting opportunity to start your career in finance whilst working towards a Level 3 AAT qualification. As a Finance Apprentice, you will be a part of a supportive finance team where you will develop practical skills across core accounting functions and collaborate with colleagues across the firm, including Partners and Business Support teams.
Duties will include but are not limited to:

Billing: Assisting with client billing processes.
Cashiering: Supporting payment runs, petty cash handling and billing tasks.
Time recording and reporting: Helping manage time entries and preparing financial reports.
Training
Advanced Diploma - AAT Level 3
Advanced builds on the knowledge gained in the Foundation level. If you work in accounts or have studied accountancy before, you may be able to start at this level. You’ll learn complex accounting techniques, and master a number of accounting disciplines including financial processes, advanced bookkeeping, final accounts and ethical practices for accountants.
This level will encourage you to master more complex accounting principles in both Bookkeeping and Management Accounting. You’ll develop the technical skills to start, or progress, your career in accountancy and this will allow you to continue with your studies onto Level 4.
To pass this level you’ll need to study five units (also known as subjects), which are all mandatory. Four of the units are examined individually and there is also a synoptic assessment that you’ll take towards the end of the level, which incorporates the final two units as well as drawing on all of the other units you’ve studied at this level.
The area you will cover include:
Advanced Bookkeeping.
Final Accounts Preparation.
Management Accounting: Costing.
Indirect Tax.
Advanced Synoptic Assessment.
The Apprenticeship standard details the essential Knowledge, Skills and Behaviours that somebody would need to demonstrate to be a successful Assistant Accountant, this includes, Business Awareness, Ethics, Communication, Embracing Change and Problem Solving. Apprentices will need to show they are competent in all the areas detailed in the standard when they take End Point Assessment.
The Knowledge areas of the standard will typically be covered through completion of the AAT qualification. Skills and Behaviours are developed through workshops, e-learning, workplace training and practical experience provided ‘on-the-job’.
Qualifications required
GCSE's grades 9/A* - 4/C including Maths and English.
Skills required
Good IT skills.
Prospects
18-month FTC but may be opportunity for growth within the team if successful.
