Accounting Apprenticeships

There are so many roles in a business where financial skills are needed and the Apprenticeships website lays out a comprehensive list of where you might start a financial career. Whether or not you think the apprenticeship route into accountancy, bookkeeping or credit control is right for you, the website has a lot of helpful career advice. It lays out the different levels and responsibilities in a finance department and how to progress. If an apprenticeship would suit you, there are three levels. An Intermediate Level could mean access to work as a finance assistant or purchase ledger clerk. A Higher Apprenticeship would mean having opportunities such as accounts manager or accounting technician open to you. The website also has a separate section for bookkeeping, explaining how it differs from accounting.
