What is an Accounting Technician?

Accounting Technicians are qualified accounting professionals that work in all levels of business.

They can work in every type of organisation and are widely employed throughout industry, private accountancy practice, and the public sector. Many of our Members are self-employed.

They are involved in the day-to-day work of accountancy and play a key operational role in producing reliable financial information.

Accounting Technicians can perform a wide range of accounting roles, from accounts staff to financial controller and beyond.

They work in financial accounting and budgeting, costing and credit control, payroll administration and tax returns.

More experienced Accounting Technicians may often work in management.

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY

“It is a wonderful foundation, suitable for everyone.”

The framework of the course suited because I was able to watch lectures and study after work and combine learning with employment and being a mother.

what our students say

“Through the apprenticeship, I would be able to make a head start on my career,”

While researching what I wanted to do after my A-Levels, I became very interested in the Higher-Level Apprenticeship, as opposed to the traditional university route into the sector.

I felt through the apprenticeship, I would be able to make a head start on my career, gain experience and develop professionally while studying towards a professional, degree-equivalent qualification.
