Trainee Accountant

Study support towards AAT alongside a full client portfolio.

We are looking for a Trainee Accountant in Cardiff. You do not need to arrive knowing everything; you do need to care about the standard of what you hand over, and be willing to ask when something is not clear.

About the role

• Prepare month-end journals, accruals and reconciliations to deadline.
• Maintain the sales and purchase ledgers and chase what is overdue.
• Support the year-end audit and the information the auditors ask for.
• Help produce management accounts and the commentary that goes with them.
• Look for the process that could be simpler, and say so.

What we are looking for

• Part-qualified or qualified by experience, with confident spreadsheet skills.
• Reliability — the team notices when somebody turns up when they said they would.
• Clear communication with colleagues, and with customers where the role involves them.
• The judgement to work unsupervised, and the sense to ask when something is not clear.
• A careful approach to safety and to your own standard of work.

What we offer

• Staff discount, a cycle-to-work scheme and an employee assistance line.
• Genuine progression — most of our supervisors started in this role.
• A permanent contract and a proper induction, not a fortnight of guessing.
• Paid training and support towards the qualification the role needs.
• 28 days holiday including bank holidays, rising with service.
