The Assistant Accountant Apprenticeship is equivalent to two A-level passes. Our Assistant Accountant programme builds the foundations needed for a career in accountancy. The programme help you develop all the skills you will need to work in a modern accounting environment. In addition to this, our level 3 accountant qualification will equip you with all the necessary technical knowledge by embedding the AAT Level 3 qualification as part of the apprenticeship programme. An Assistant Accountant provides support to internal and external customers and will work predominately either as an assistant accountant within practice or alternatively within the finance function of an organisation. Part of their 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. In addition the Assistant Accountant may find themselves involved in regulatory financial requirements such as the completion of VAT returns or assisting in the preparation of tax computations.
