• Learning finance and accounting best practices through on-the-job training and study

What We’re Looking For

• A genuine interest in starting a career in finance and working with numbers
• Strong Maths skills and confidence with detail
• A minimum of Grade 4 (or equivalent) in English, Maths, and Science
• A positive attitude, willingness to learn, and comfort working in the office full-time initially

Why Join?

• A structured apprenticeship leading to AAT qualification
• Exposure to both AP and AR
• Supportive environment with mentoring from experienced apprentices
• Opportunity to build confidence, skills, and a long-term finance career
