AAT Accountancy Apprenticeship – AAT Level 2 or Level 3

You’ll gain experience in areas including:

• Bookkeeping and accounts – recording transactions, processing invoices and helping keep financial records accurate
• Reconciliations and reporting – checking figures, investigating differences and making sure everything adds up
• Cloud accounting and technology – using modern software to process information and help us work smarter
• Client service and administration – communicating professionally and helping keep the practice running smoothly
• You’ll start with the basics and build your knowledge, skills and responsibilities as your confidence grows

💡 What will you be doing?

No two days need to be exactly the same. You’ll help our team with tasks such as:

• Processing receipts, payments, invoices and banking transactions
• Maintaining accurate financial records, ledgers and spreadsheets
• Completing bank and finance reconciliations
• Assisting with VAT and tax returns
• Supporting the preparation of monthly and annual accounts
• Checking calculations and investigating discrepancies
• Using accounting software, Microsoft Excel, Word and other digital systems
• Keeping electronic client records organised and helping us maintain our paperless approach
• Supporting client communications, general administration and the smooth running of the office
• As part of a small team, everyone plays a part. You’ll also help with everyday office tasks, such as handling telephone enquiries, welcoming visitors, managing post and preparing documents
• These tasks are a normal part of working in a small practice and will be balanced with your developing accountancy responsibilities

• Training that takes you somewhere
• We want your apprenticeship to be the start of a career, not simply a qualification
• You’ll receive practical training and guidance from experienced colleagues, alongside your AAT studies via day release to college
• You’ll have dedicated time for your apprenticeship training during your normal working hours, in line with the requirements of your programme
• Our aim is to help you develop the technical knowledge, confidence and professional skills to progress within accountancy, with opportunities for further AAT study and potential longer-term employment with the firm
• We have a track record to be proud of: six of our seven current employees progressed from apprenticeships into permanent roles with us
• We believe in developing people from within and giving our team the opportunity to grow

• Opportunity to further progress study, and complete the AAT to level 4 becoming a qualified Accountant (MAAT)
• Opportunity to progress your career and become a full time member of staff once the apprenticeship is completed
