So this doesn’t give you responsibility for data entry (yay!!! ). Nor does it require you to do management accounts…… but it does support the management accounting process. I think that this is a fantastic transitional role…… if you are in a higher level Accounting Assistant role and want to step up to an Assistant Accountant…… or are already an Assistant Accountant looking for a change. You will need an excellent understanding of the accounting process (ideally you will be AAT3 or 4 but if you are a technically astute QBE, this also works). Experience of handling different revenue streams would be a great attribute and I would expect that you have a good understanding of the accruals and prepayments process. You will need good exposure to month-end processes………. Particularly in reference to bank and balance sheet recs.
