Not the usual words you would associate with an accounting firm - but then, we like to think we are a little different.

Here at Woods Russell Accounting, we offer much more than classic accounting services - we provide a chance for our clients to have a Chartered Accountant professional as part of their team - working alongside them, with a vested interest in building their business and with a passion to create success. We love what we do, because we see the results every day in the success of our clients. That feels really good.

This is an exciting opportunity to work towards an AAT qualification as an Accounting Apprentice for a small growing firm of Chartered Accountants in Basingstoke.

ABOUT YOU

You will have computer literacy and having a firm grasp of Maths and English is essential. You will need to be versatile and able to turn your hand to many various tasks. You will be learning cloud accounting software as well as dealing with a shoebox stuffed full of receipts!

WHY SHOULD YOU APPLY FOR THE ROLE

If you want to work towards an AAT qualification (1 day/week at College) and learn the variety of skills and knowledge needed whilst working for a local small accountancy, this is the job for you.
