Accounts Associate Review

Accounts Associate - bookkeeping eg posting sales invoices, purchase invoices, bank statements, wages journals, any other journals, producing management accounts. Dealing with client queries either on the phone or via email, certain responsibilities within the team eg checking certain mail boxes & setting up payments on behalf of clients.

I have passed my first two exams. I have attended multiple excel training courses. I have got a good understanding on bookkeeping and am learning new skills everyday. I have learnt how to interact with customers and handle situations in a professional manner. I have also received internal training on the systems we use to complete our work.

I really enjoy my role within Moore Stephens. I work in a very friendly team within the Business Support and Outsourcing department. Everyone within my team is happy to help when needed to ensure I can succeed in the role. The office as a whole is a very friendly environment and we often have social events.

I feel very valued by Moore Stephens. We have monthly one to ones in which feedback is passed on to keep track of our progress. I also feel valued when I am given more responsibilities on tasks as it is a way of seeing your progress. I have received emails from clients thanking me for my support on queries which is also a good way to be valued.

When starting at Moore Stephens I attended an induction course which went through the basics I would need to know to perform well in my role. The training programme is very good as well. The L&D dept provide us with a study path and all exams for the year are booked in advanced so you can plan around your studies. Monthly 1-1's are provided to ensure you are getting continued support from managers.

I received great support from my training provider. Whenever I have emailed for help I have had a very fast response. We can contact them at any time if we are struggling. The study materials they provide us are also very useful. I enjoy going to college and expanding my knowledge.

I receive lots of support from my employer. if I have a query in regards to my training I contact learning and development and they will respond quickly. My manager is also very supportive. If I need help with my work anyone in my team is willing to help and put the time in to show me what to do.

My company pay for all my study and training which is very supportive. I think this helps with the salary as to pay for all my own studying would be expensive. As I do not live in the same town that I work in do spend quite a bit on travel costs a month. The only downside is having to use annual leave if I would like the day before my exam to study.

There are a few opportunities outside of work. We have quite a few social events like the Christmas party and payday drinks. When I wasn't working I was at college so I spent a lot of time studying and I had a part time job. Through my company you can also received discounts for local gyms.

Yes

I would recommend Moore Stephens to a friend because it is a great place to work. Plenty of support is provided by both my team I work for and other departments within the company. The study package is a great incentive for the job and all the support given is also very helpful. The environment is a lovely place to work as everyone is very friendly

I think the application process has changed slightly since I have started however the main advice would be to relax in your interview. Video interviews now take place and my advice would be to make sure you are well prepared. New starters should also not be afraid to ask questions as everyone is here to help and provide support for you to achieve.
