You’ll need experience of final accounts closedown, with an understanding of key accounting principles. AAT with 3 years post qualification experience or part CCAB qualified with 3 years’ experience, you’ll have the ability to adapt to a variety of tasks and situations. You’ll also have the ability to understand and communicate complex technical and financial data and its implications.
