Our AAT programme gets your career off to a great start as you study while gaining valuable experience on the job. Our AAT programme is a great opportunity for those leaving school or college or those looking to change career to get started in a career in accountancy.

We are an AAT accredited training firm and we are committed to giving each person that joins us first class training in a personal and friendly working environment.

Right from the start of your training contract you will be working with clients, getting to know their business and understanding their challenges. You will be encouraged to take responsibility early on in your training contract and you will be exposed to all aspects of a job.

Your experience will be varied; sometimes you will be working on projects lasting a few days, other times a few weeks. You will have the opportunity to work on company audits, charity audits and to work with our tax team. Whatever you are doing, you will always be making a direct impact on your client’s business.

As well as learning on the job, you’ll complete a comprehensive apprenticeship training programme that will equip you with the knowledge, skills and behaviours you need to excel in the role.

We’re looking for people who are adaptable, enjoy building relationships and are passionate about developing themselves. For full details of the skills we look for please see https://mooreks.co.uk/careers/what-we-look-for/
