Work
Most of your apprenticeship is spent working. You’ll learn on the job by getting hands-on experience.
What you'll do at work
No two days will look exactly the same, but your typical week could include:
- Scanning and inputting purchase invoices
- Coding invoices and allocating them to the correct ledger accounts
- Sending invoices to account customers
- Checking supplier invoices against delivery notes
- Checking prices against supplier price lists and identifying any discrepancies
- Assisting with bank reconciliations
- Reconciling supplier statements and helping investigate any differences
- Keeping finance records and systems accurate and up to date
- Supporting the wider team with general finance and office duties
- Learning more about the finance function and taking on additional responsibilities as your knowledge develops
You’ll have support around you while you learn, but we’ll also encourage you to ask questions, use your initiative and understand why you’re doing something rather than simply following a process.
