There are lots of reasons why employers decide to take on an accounting apprentice. From our experience an accounting apprentice will:
- Free up your time, so you can dedicate more hours to working ‘on’ the business and less ‘in’ it.
- Provide an extra pair of hands to carry out various accounting processes and in some cases business admin process, so you can keep your internal managers or clients happy.
- Enable your managers to take on more detailed tasks or client work, so they can further develop their own specialisms and, if in an accountancy practice, increase their chargeable hours and charge out rates.
- Help you to ‘grow your own team’, because there is a shortage of qualified and experienced accountants in the marketplace.
- Be a great asset to your business.
