Are you an organised and conscientious, tech-proficient, Sixth-Form or College leaver? Have you completed A Levels and want to kick-start your career by getting on-the-job experience whilst getting paid at the same time? We have a fantastic opportunity as an alternative to taking the University route into working life.
Taking the first steps into a career in accountancy has never been more exciting – the industry is in the midst of its evolution into the digital era with the rapid and constant evolution of software and apps which enable business owners to look after their finances in ways like never before. Page Kirk is making a conscious and concerted effort to blaze a trail into this new era of accountancy, dedicating significant resource for our people to develop new ways of working and to offer business owners a modern and forward-thinking service.
This role has a focus around technology – you will be using various software and apps to streamline and improve the day-to-day data management, bookkeeping and cloud accounting services which Page Kirk provides to its clients. Alongside your responsibilities at work, you will undertake a training contract (apprenticeship agreement) and study towards completing the AAT qualification (Levels 2, 3 & 4). Page Kirk will provide paid study leave and will fully fund your studies towards becoming AAT qualified.
Becoming AAT qualified and having practice experience on your CV is invaluable for a successful career in accountancy, whether that may be progressing your career within an accountancy practice (as an accountant or tax advisor) or as an industry accountant in business (as a financial accountant or finance director). Once you are AAT qualified, the natural career progression in terms of further qualification would be to study towards becoming a Chartered Accountant (ACA) and/or Chartered Tax Advisor (CTA).
