Apprentice accountant
BERNARD LISTER & CO ACCOUNTANTS
About the Role
This role will compromise learning entry level accounting and VAT. You will be working in a city centre office and be taught how the accounting process works, starting with bookkeeping and working your way up to creating full financial accounts.
Once taken on, you will start working on your AAT level 2 course at Doncaster College. This will gain you a qualification in accounting at the end of your first year and, if it works well, we would be looking to make the position permanent and continue putting you through your accountancy exams up to a fully qualified level.
- Balancing bank accounts. This is where you enter the client’s information into a spreadsheet to analyse their income and expenses for the financial year.
- VAT computations, part of your job each month, will be working out VAT calculations to see how much VAT is owed for the clients.
- Dealing with new clients and handling accounting records.
- You’ll learn the basic principles of accountancy, such as double-entry bookkeeping, costing and preparing financial statements, as well as how to use accountancy software
No prior knowledge of accounting is needed as we will teach you how to do it from the start and support you along the way with learning. Good Maths and English skills are required but A-levels in these are not necessary.
A good level of Maths and English is required.
We need to ask all applicants whether they have any relevant criminal convictions and/or pending investigation as defined by the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. Relevant means offences against a person, whether violent or sexual, offences involving drugs or controlled substances, or theft. A declaration of a relevant Criminal Conviction will result in a Risk Assessment being carried out to determine whether the applicant poses a risk to the welfare or safety of others. This does not include warnings, cautions, reprimands and (for example) speeding fines/points.
A YES ANSWER DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY EXCLUDE YOUR APPLICATION.
There may be the opportunity to progress to the next level and a position within the company on successful completion of the apprenticeship.
