This apprenticeship is ideal for someone just starting their journey in accounting and can be the first step on the ladder to becoming a fully qualified Accountant.
You will learn on the job and in college taking into account how you would assist in the day-to-day financial activities such as data entry to month-end management accounts and/or year-end financial statements.
