What you could do
Companies big and small need teams of people to look after their finances: who to pay, who owes them money, how to invest and how to grow.
These companies also need guidance on how to organise their taxes and make sure employees get paid on time, while making them as profitable as possible. And not just businesses. From the student taking out a loan to the retired pensioner, everyone needs financial advice at some stage.
You can specialise too, as smaller legal and accountancy firms often focus on one particular area, for example marine or property law, or freelance and small business accountancy.
Apprenticeships include:
- Professional accounting and taxation technician
- Credit controller
- Mortgage adviser
- Paralegal
"Taking the apprenticeship route was a no-brainer for me, as it would provide me with hands-on experience, a fully funded degree in my chosen field of bioscience and a competitive salary."
