Someone who is either already studying or keen to start studying AAT, with long-term ambitions to progress into higher qualifications (CIMA/ACCA)
*
A good standard of education and a clear commitment to self-development
*
Some finance experience (either in a previous role or through education) is essential
*
A proactive, positive attitude with the willingness to learn and ask questions
*
Happy to work in the office full-time to benefit from on-the-job training and mentoring
What’s on Offer
*
Full study support (AAT and onward to CIMA or ACCA)
*
Friendly, supportive finance team and hands-on mentorship
