About the Course
Accounting Technicians are highly skilled accounting staff and are widely employed throughout the public sector, industry and in private accountancy practices.

They are involved in the day-to-day practical work of accountancy including the preparation of financial information and accounts, and can work on their own or alongside professional accountants.

Accounting Technicians can play a wide range of roles in any organisation, from Assistant Accountant to Office Manager to Financial Controller. For instance, they might do financial accounting and calculate sales profits, stock value, wages and salaries. They may also carry out auditing, check financial records, examine expenses and look at tax refunds.
