Apprentice Accountant Bath, England
Job description
Apprentice Accountant, Mutu Accountancy, Bath
Would you like an interesting job helping businesses to grow, at the same time gaining a well respected fully-funded qualification which will set you up with a well paid and flexible career for the future?
Did you know that as a qualified Chartered Accountant you can work in or with a variety of different industries, and work almost anywhere in the world?
A Chartered Accountancy qualification gives you an insight into how business works and is a great foundation also for budding entrepreneurs.
We are a modern and friendly accountancy practice based in the heart of beautiful Bath, and have an exciting opportunity for someone that is looking to train as a Chartered Accountant. As we are small (and growing), there are endless opportunities to get involved in all aspects of our client work, be that bookkeeping, management accounts, statutory accounts, all aspects of tax and getting to know our clients and their businesses. There are many opportunities for progression and promotion over time. We work with a lot of ethical and environmental businesses, e-commerce and technology start-ups. We keep up with the latest technology and automate our processes as far as possible, so there isn't any dull inputting of data, we focus on helping our clients to make their businesses better.
This is a full-time position. As the position is for a trainee, it's likely you'll need, and want, to come into the office at least to begin with. However, there are opportunities for home-working and flexible hours also. We would ensure that either from home or in the office you would be fully supported throughout your three-year training programme.
Our ideal candidate:
- Is happy to (and enjoys!) looking at new bits of software as they are launched as ways of improving our service to our clients.
- Is comfortable with using Excel, using formulas such as sum-ifs and v look-ups (or would be able to learn).
- Is keen to learn and has the time to dedicate to studying for a professional qualification. There will be plenty of paid time off to attend training courses and paid revision weeks, however accountancy qualifications aren't easy and there will still be times when you will need to do some studying in the evenings or on weekends.
- Is deadline driven and focused.
- Is friendly and would enjoy speaking to our clients and the rest of the team
- Has at least 2 A-levels at A*-C grades (or equivalent)
- Has started studying AAT (Level 2) (not essential but would give an advantage)
This is a great opportunity for someone looking for an alternative to going to university, and to be paid whilst obtaining a highly regarded professional qualification that will set you up for the rest of your career. Or for a graduate looking to obtain an Accountancy qualification (AAT/ACA/ACCA).
