Assistant Accountant
This is a government funded programme which has been designed to support your development and skills when working in a finance or accountancy role and is a natural progression from Level 2.
The course brings together a wealth of knowledge, skills and behaviours that will help you feel more confident when processing and preparing financial information.
Whilst your job role will involve assisting in the day to day financial activities such as data entry to month end management accounts and/or year-end financial statements, this course will enhance your knowledge of regulatory financial requirements, communication and IT skills, financial accounting and reporting and management accounting.
You can start this apprenticeship at any time, please contact us for further information.
The course covers a range of knowledge, skills and behaviours that can be applied in the workplace and is supported by elements of an AAT qualification covering financial accounting and management accounting.
