Assistant Accountant Apprenticeship, Level 3

Accountancy apprentices work in a wide variety of sizes and types of organisations. Employers depend on their bookkeepers, accountants and finance managers to keep their companies in strong financial health. If you have a methodical and rigorous approach to tasks, and a key eye for detail then you are likely to thrive in this industry.Apprentices will assist in the day to day financial activities such as data entry to month end management accounts and/or year-end financial statements. They will learn how to manage petty cash systems, and basic bookkeeping. Training will also be provided in regulatory financial requirements such as the completion of VAT returns or assisting in the preparation of tax computations. At higher levels, apprentices will have responsibility for creating, and/or verifying and reviewing, accurate and timely financial information which adheres to standard accounting and tax practices.
