Assistant Accountant Apprenticeship Level 3 - AAT

This Level 3 programme builds on the foundations for entry level talent to support growth within an Accountancy and Finance function.

Employees on this apprenticeship will ensure an Accountancy and Finance practice performs in the most effective way. It includes the AAT Level 3 Diploma in Accounting and provides the opportunity for them to support the business with essential skills and behaviours to drive results.

You will learn how to prepare financial statements for Sole Traders and Partnerships, the importance of management accounting information, and how to prepare VAT returns. You’ll develop the technical skills to start, or progress, your career in accountancy and this will allow you to continue with your studies onto Level 4.

To pass this level you will need to study the following four units:

• Financial Accounting; Preparing Financial Statements (FAPS).

• Management Accounting Techniques (MATS).

• Tax Processes for Business (TPFB).

• Business Awareness (BUAW).

You will also be required to complete an End Point Assessment (EPA), which will include a synoptic assessment and discussion with supporting portfolio.

• Most be precise and have attention to detail.
• Have a good academic background.
• Be willing to learn and be a team player.
• Want to pursue a career in Accounts/Finance.
• Preferably want to work in an industry related accounts environment.
• Commitment to succeed.

The company is expanding rapidly and as such opportunities will arise frequently. Within the accounts team opportunities are likely to arise within the next few years as a combination of the expansion, reduced working hours and/or retirements. If the candidate shows commitment and the required skills and aptitude we would look to take qualification beyond AAT and look at CIMA as this would enable them to do a management accountants role which is essential in our business.
