Job Description

Job Summary

Due to significant growth in our business, we're looking to recruit an Apprentice to join us in our office in Leicester City Centre.

Our bookkeeping work for our clients has grown significantly over the last few years and we now have a number of colleagues doing this work with varying levels of experience. The work will involve all aspects of bookkeeping

We're a dynamic accountancy firm looking after some amazing clients from all around the country and we pride ourselves on the high quality of work produced.

MNE Accounting is part of the Gilroy Finance Group which is an East Midlands group of accountancy firms, trading under a range of brands. This means that although this role will be based in our Leicester office and primarily working for clients who engage with this office, there are many more opportunities for development across the wider business.

The role

The role is in our bookkeeping team, looking after various clients' systems and VAT returns.

During your time as an apprentice you will complete your Level 3 AAT qualification and if you progress as we'd expect, you'll move on to Level 4. We have some excellent history with the apprentices we have recruited in the past and are proud of the progression they have made.

You

No experience is necessary but we are looking for someone who can demonstrate a solid understanding of logic, reasoning and who has a good mathematical understanding too. You need to be a confident communicator and possess a brilliant standard of written and spoken English. You need to be able to write an email without relying on a spell checker and your grammar and punctuation need to be to a solid standard. You need to be able to demonstrate a high attention to detail. You need to be someone who wants this bookkeeping role and would be keen to develop it into the future. Please don't apply if you think it's simply a first step into accountancy. You need to have an excellent grasp of IT. Almost everything we do is on-screen so you will need to know your way around a system. We use Macs - but we're not expecting you to have experience with them! You need to live within normal commuting distance from our Leicester office.

Your application

If you would like to apply for this role, please ensure you attach a covering letter to your application, including why you'd be the best applicant for this role and what you think you could offer the firm.

Please feel free to be informal in your covering letter; the best letters come from those who can show their personality to us. We want to know a bit about you, what about this role excites you - for example. Just something more than a list of your education and experience (which are great but education and experience aren't the things we'll work with, day to day).

If you don't include a covering letter, your application will not be considered.
