Brief Description
This is an exciting opportunity for a L3 Accounts Apprentice. If you have experience in finance and a desire to learn, this could be the perfect role for you. We provide training as you work towards your AAT L3 qualification. You must have enthusiasm and a willingness to learn and either a Level 2 AAT qual or previous accounts experience.
Training to be Provided
Assistant Accountant Apprenticeship Level 3 - AAT.
Employees on this apprenticeship will ensure an Accountancy and Finance practice performs in the most effective way.
The course is delivered on-line via a live classroom 1-day per week.
You will learn how to prepare financial statements for Sole Traders and Partnerships, the importance of management accounting information, and how to prepare VAT returns.
You’ll develop the technical skills to progress your career in accountancy, and this will allow you to continue with your studies onto Level 4.
To pass this level you will need to study the following four units:
- Financial Accounting
- Preparing Financial Statements (FAPS)
- Management Accounting Techniques (MATS)
- Tax Processes for Business
