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. The apprentice will study the core knowledge, skills and behaviours as laid out in the apprenticeship plan including knowledge of Business Awareness, IT Systems and Processes, Ethical Standards, Financial Accounting and Reporting, and Management Accounting, the apprentice will acquire and be able to demonstrate their skills to include Analysis, Communication, Produce Quality and Accurate Information, Use Systems and Processes, and Problem Solve. Behaviours studied will include Embracing Change, Adding Value, Ethics and Integrity, Personal Accountability, Productivity and Team working and Collaboration.
Most candidates will have Level 2 Maths and English (equivalent to GCSE grade C or above), ideally as part of 5 GCSE A-C grades or other comparable qualifications. Apprentices without English or Maths at Level 2 must achieve this prior to the completion of the Apprenticeship.
Your apprentice training is delivered through a mix of college-based training and work-based assessment which is pre-planned and flexible enough to fit alongside your business needs. The training includes: • The apprentice will attend college for day release at our Lichfield or Tamworth campus working to achieve AAT’s Advanced Diploma in Accounting qualification. • Our Assessors will visit your workplace to observe your employee undertaking their normal on-the-job duties, and from this a work-based assessment will be made. In conjunction with you and your apprentice, the Assessor will develop an action plan to show what units are being studied, what evidence needs to be prepared, as well as the time and date of the Assessors visits. • Functional Skills (if required) – College attendance is necessary for individual learners, but in-company delivery is available for groups of learners. The End Point Assessment has two elements: • An online assessment, where you’ll tackle a series of business-related tasks through simulation in line with typical role activities. • Submission of a portfolio of evidence gathered from the workplace. You must then reflect on the portfolio through a professional discussion.
