Brief Description
Join our friendly and growing accountancy practice as a Level 2 Accounts or Finance Apprentice.

This is an excellent opportunity to build a long-term career in accountancy with full training and support.
Training to be Provided
The apprentice will receive full on-the-job training within our accountancy practice, supported by experienced accountants.
They will work towards the Level 2 Accounts or Finance Assistant Apprenticeship Standard with a recognised training provider.
Off-the-job training will be completed as part of the apprenticeship through a combination of classroom or online learning and workplace training.
The apprentice will receive regular one-to-one mentoring, progress reviews and ongoing support to develop their accounting knowledge, practical skills and professional confidence.
Training will take place during normal working hours in line with apprenticeship requirements.
This sounds professional and meets what employers are expected to provide. If you've already chosen a training provider (such as Lincoln College, Babington, First Intuition, etc.), I can tailor it to include their details.

The successful candidate will have the opportunity to progress onto a Level 3 Assistant Accountant Apprenticeship.
There will be ongoing training and support to continue professional qualifications, such as AAT.
As experience develops, responsibilities will increase to include bookkeeping, VAT returns, payroll, accounts preparation and supporting clients directly.
