Job Description

ACCOUNTS ASSOCIATE

Brighton | Circa £28,000 | Fully funded AAT with day release

Most trainee roles ask you to prove yourself first and talk about study later. This one starts you on a fully funded AAT with day release, and there is a clear route through to ACA afterwards for people who want it.

The firm is a growing accountancy group with a well established Brighton office. They have expanded quickly by bringing successful local practices into the group and then leaving them to get on with what they do well, so you get the backing of a national business

without losing the feel of a proper local office.

THE ROLE

You will work across accounts, bookkeeping and audit support, which is the fastest way to work out which part of practice you actually

enjoy. Day to day:

- Bookkeeping for clients using Xero, Sage and Excel, preparing the books from source documents

- Preparing and filing VAT returns

- Supporting the audit team with file preparation, and joining the team on client site visits

- Filing client documents with Companies House

- Financial administration, including electronic document management and filing

- Speaking to clients directly by phone and email about their accounting queries

- Helping out with general office duties and welcoming clients into the office

WHAT THEY ARE LOOKING FOR

- At least a year's experience inside an accountancy firm

- Minimum five GCSEs at grade A to C or equivalent, A levels preferred

- Working knowledge of Xero or Sage, plus Excel, Word and Outlook

- Genuine attention to detail

- Comfortable talking to clients, in writing and on the phone

You do not need to have started AAT already. Attitude and reliability matter more here than what you have ticked off so far.

WHAT'S ON OFFER

- Up to £28,000

- Fully funded AAT with day release

- A defined path to qualify as a Chartered Accountant within the firm

- Pension

- 24 hour access to a GP

- Employee assistance programme

- Cycle to work scheme

- Discount platform and cashback card

- Professional subscriptions paid

- Employee referral scheme

WHY IT IS WORTH A LOOK

Small enough that you will be known by name and given real client contact early. Big enough that there is somewhere to go once you qualify, including audit, tax and corporate finance. If you are

currently sat doing the same three tasks with no study support in sight, this is a proper step up.

Happy to have an informal chat first if you would rather understand the role before applying
