Management Accountant Trainee – School Leaver & Graduate

Immediate and September 2022 start.

 

We want to hear from bright, ambitious graduates who are keen to join our growing Outsourced Business Services team. This is a great opportunity for motivated, articulate and career-minded individuals to progress in a career within accountancy.

 

 

 

Your Role

 

Here’s a glimpse of what you can expect as a AAT - ACA - ACCA - CTA Management Accountant Associate:

 

Providing tailored financial expertise

 

Our Financial Management Solutions (FMS) team act as the outsourced finance function for a wide range of businesses including young and fast-growing owner-managed start-ups through to large, well-established multinationals. Our clients operate in a variety of industries including creative (tv/film), financial markets, green & sustainability, and technology to name a few. This varied experience will allow you to gain exceptional insight into finance functions of all shapes and sizes.

 

Outside the client work, many of the team choose to get involved in the wider firm by joining one of a number of groups, from charity and social committees to the diversity team, or by training as a mental health first-aider. We work closely with our audit, and tax departments and these groups and committees are a great way to bring the different teams together in a working environment. The team enjoy a good social and many of us can often be found spending time with each other outside of office hours.

 

You will work with a portfolio of clients large and small to prepare their annual financial statements, monthly/quarterly management reports, and assist with VAT, payroll and regulatory compliance. As you progress you will be given more and more responsibility, ultimately being handed clients to manage, whilst taking on more future-focussed assignments, from forecasting to advisory work.
