As a trainee accountant you will work as part of a team assisting with clients’ accounting needs.
This position involves a number of different aspects including:
Preparing financial statements for limited companies, partnerships and sole traders
Preparing tax computations
Providing bookkeeping services
Preparation of VAT returns
Filing Companies House and H M Revenue & Customs documents on the client's behalf
Assignments will be undertaken both in the office and at the client's premises. Trainees will have support and on-the-job training from managers and other senior staff.
During your training, you will be expected to develop an understanding of the practical issues involved in delivering a high quality service to clients.
Both practical and theoretical training will be undertaken, with an aim to become a member of the Association of Accounting Technicians (AAT).
Training:You will undertake the “Assistant Accountant” Apprenticeship (an Advanced Apprenticeship in Accounting), with full support from Accountancy Learning as part of their Flexible Apprenticeship Programme.
Assessment will be by an “End Point Assessment” and will be graded “Pass” or “Distinction”. This will include two elements:
A Professional Discussion. This will include a series of questions allowing you to display the knowledge and experience you have obtained over your apprenticeship. You will build a Portfolio of reflections and product evidence that will be used for discussion points in the PD.A Synoptic Exam. This will include elements you have learnt throughout your studies of the individual AAT Units and this will contribute towards your end grade. You will be prepared for both of these elements by undertaking studies for the AAT (Level 3) Advanced Diploma in Accounting. These will underpin both elements of your “end point assessment”. As such, it is anticipated that your apprenticeship duration will be for 15-18 months, although earlier completion is possible, provided the duration exceeds one year and a week. Those with no prior accounting knowledge may also need to complete the Bookkeeping units of AAT Level 2.
You will receive support from both the employer and the training provider to complete and achieve your apprenticeship and will be given time to study during the week on a day release basis. As you are working towards a professional qualification, it is also expected that you will continue your studies outside of normal office hours.
As you learn more in both the office and in your studies your responsibilities, and the variety of tasks you undertake, are expected to increase.
Those with previous relevant qualifications and experience may be considered for a Higher Apprenticeship undertaking the Professional Accountant Standard.Training Outcome:It is expected that you will stay with the company following successful completion of your apprenticeship to undertake further qualifications and increase your responsibility in the office.Employer Description:Employer Description (Unlimited word count) Established in 1996, the award-winning Futurelink Group stands out as an expert payroll specialist providing a comprehensive array of fully compliant payroll solutions tailored to each client’s individual needs.
