Accounts Assistant Review

My role is accounts assistant. On a daily basis I key banking and the previous days takings. As well as this I register invoices Daily. this involves gathering them entering them on the system, scanning them and then getting them authorised and p[assed to the correct internal codes. As well as this I generate a cashflow on a weekly basis and make payments weekly.

During my apprenticeship one of the biggest skills I have developed on is my communication skills. More specifically face to face or over the phone communication. As well as communication I have also developed the skill to pick out detail and do things with both accuracy and speed, trying not to let one affect the other too much.

As part of my programme I really enjoy my team. The team works well and is full of helpful and experienced people that are willing to help out whenever needed. As well as this the Company culture is good, This may be due to it being within the motor trade and I am a fan of the vehicles that are sold.

The programme I am on has been structured well. It started with and introduction and has followed up with training almost every week. As well as this there are reviews with the tutor every 8 weeks or so to help with any issues and the tutor is great and available any time even between reviews.

I receive lots of support from my employer through multiple means. Th first mean of support is form my direct line manager as they are supportive and help with any issues they can. To add to this everyone else in the team are also very supportive. They are all great when needing guidance with an issue.

The training provider also provides lots of support when working towards my qualification. To start with the weekly sessions on Mondays are all about learning the AAT curriculum. The tutor that hosts these sessions is very helpful on the Mondays so you can ask her any questions needed but she is also very willing to help if needed during the week.

The learning I am doing through my apprenticeship is very helpful during my daily tasks as some of it relates directly and some of it is done in the background but it is helpful to understand the theory behind the proses as well as the proses it self. I defiantly know more about my role through the apprenticeship.

There are a few activities that have happened that I have been involved in. Most of them are more social events than about work. They tend to happen when the business as a whole performs well. There has also been a couple of work related networking activities such as external training that have also had social aspects.

Yes

I would recommend Vertu motors as a company to a friend because as a whole the working experience is great. the people are supportive and the business tends to run smoothly. As well as this there are many opportunities to grow and progress as an individual and there are always new skills to learn and things to do.

To people applying to Vertu motors I would suggest that they need to be an individual who is willing to work hard and strive to learn new things as the company is ever developing and presenting new challenges. Vertu is a challenging but generally rewarding company to work for. As long as your working hard opportunities will present themselves.
