AAT Assistant Accountant Apprenticeship (Level 2 Pathway)

If you have no bookkeeping knowledge this is the route for you.

Build on existing accounting knowledge, gain more specialist skills in related areas and gain a greater understanding of the ethical issues involved with accountancy. 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 the 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. An apprenticeship is a great way to gain a qualification and earn real money. At the end of the course, you can have a nationally recognised qualification.
