Exciting opportunity for Trainee Accountant to join a prestigious firm of Accountants in the South West
Due to my clients success and growth an exciting opportunity has arisen for an ambitious, motivated part qualified accountant to join the Accounts Team of this long established and well regarded South West firm of Chartered Accountants.
They are seeking an ICAEW part qualified, ACCA part qualified or an AAT level 4 trainee for a position in their Taunton office. The successful candidate would have the opportunity to study at an ACCA Platinum Approved Training Practice, which provides full financial study support, an in-house mentoring system and assists in the development of essential skills and commercial awareness.
For those who might be entering the ACCA or ICAEW at a later stage in your career, my client would be looking to help you to develop the knowledge you have gained in your AAT's and develop those all-important practical skills which will complement your technical knowledge.
The successful applicant will be passionate about their career and possess a real keenness to learn and progress. You will be required to produce full accounts for review by, and reporting to, a qualified individual and to have knowledge of completing and submitting tax returns and VAT returns. You will also be responsible for supporting the training of the AAT Level 3 and 4 trainees.
My client is led by a dynamic team of partners and is a business that describes itself as truly obsessive about excellent client service. It is a place where staff at all levels are expected to have first class skills in serving clients, pre-empting their needs and being truly creative in helping them and overall exceeding their expectations. They are looking to continue their ambitious growth into the future, both in existing specialities and also in new areas.
