Accountant

The role of a financial accountant is to prepare financial documents and accounts for clients or their employer, giving an overview of an organisation's financial status.

Who can I work for?

There are many organisations that employ qualified financial accountants, with many operating at a global level.

Where and when can I work?

Most accountants are based in an employer's office, with those who specialise in external auditing spending a large amount of time on site with clients. Typical working hours are Monday to Friday 9am to 5.30pm, but this is likely to increase during busy times, such as at the end of the financial year.

What can I earn?

As a financial accountant you could expect your salary to be about £20,000 when you're starting out, rising to £35,000-£40,000 for newly qualified accountants.

What are the benefits?

Becoming more experienced within your role could earn you a significantly larger salary, as senior accountants earn £100,000 a year or more.

Are there chances of promotion?

All accountants start off as trainees, so there are various routes for career progression. Roles many accountants have progressed into include chief accountant, financial controller, finance manager and financial consultant.

What will I be responsible for?

Your responsibilities as a financial accountant are likely to include running payroll, working out a company's income and expenditure, filing tax returns, carrying out audits and preparing accounts.

What qualifications do I need?

Qualifications for the role of a financial accountant are desirable, but not an absolute must. Accountancy skills are best picked up on the job, with many companies willing to train someone in-house rather than employing an experienced accountant. However, particular areas of accountancy need qualifications, such as when working in external auditing, insolvency, or investment business.

Do I need any experience?

Desirable experience to have under your belt is being accustomed to working with others as well as on your own, and to have previous office experience.

What attributes are needed?

Working in the role of a financial accountant will require an excellent understanding of accounting principles, impressive analytical skills, be committed, have good interpersonal skills and be able to work alone at times.
