Assistant Accountant apprenticeship - Stockton-on-Tees

As part of our practice team, you’ll work across a variety of client accounts and gain exposure to real world accounting tasks. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who has completed AAT Level 3 and wants to progress toward full qualification 

• Prepare bookkeeping for a portfolio of clients 


• Assist with year end accounts preparation for sole traders, partnerships, and limited companies 


• Support the preparation of VAT returns and management accounts 


• Process bank reconciliations and maintain accurate ledgers 


• Assist with personal and corporation tax computations 


• Communicate with clients to request information and resolve queries 


• Use accounting software such as Xero, QuickBooks, Sage, and practice management tools 


• Support senior accountants with ad hoc tasks and client projects 

Hybrid working. If the work is done and your clients are looked after, we're not counting who's at a desk. Our office will be open for people to be in at least 3 times a week for collaboration and team building. 

Time off 

• 32 days off a year, rising to 37 with service. That's 31 days including bank holidays, plus your birthday on top, pro rata for a 30-hour week 


• We close between Christmas and New Year, and the days for that are already built into your allowance rather than taken out of it

Your career 

• A role that's built to grow. We'll review its shape at six months, and there will be people to manage within your first several months 


• Real progression as the practice grows, with no artificial ceiling on where you take it 


• Study leave and support if you're still working towards qualification 


• We cover your CPD and your professional body membership, so keeping your qualification current costs you nothing 


• Direct access to the directors from day one, which is the fastest way to learn how a practice is actually run
