Accounting Apprentice (Woods Russell Limited)

Simple, honest, friendly, and uncomplicated.

Not the usual words you would associate with an accounting firm - but then, we like to think we are a little different.

Here at Woods Russell Accounting, we offer much more than classic accounting services - we provide a chance for our clients to have a Chartered Accountant professional as part of their team - working alongside them, with a vested interest in building their business and with a passion to create success. We love what we do, because we see the results every day in the success of our clients. That feels really good.

We are looking for an Accounting Apprentice to join this growing team.
