Accountant Review

I work in a job receiving the same benefits as my colleagues. I work and learn alongside experienced finance professionals, building your network at the same time. My role is to keep their clients' (public and private sector businesses of all sizes) financial information in order. They run checks to ensure that this information is being recorded accurately, and investigate whenever something doesn't add up.

Willingness To Learn. Completing an apprenticeship is all about learning about a field while also learning about yourself. I learnt skills such as having the abilities that allow me to accurately and ethically manage financial transactions, analyze financial data and generate financial reports. As well as understanding generally accepted accounting principles, mathematical comprehension and data analysis
