"Pitman Training has given me the professional advice and confidence I needed to develop my accounting knowledge - I now have the skills that are well sought after by employers."

Accounting technicians assist accountants by collecting, checking and analysing financial information on their behalf. They usually work in a support role within a firm of accountants, or in the accounts or finance departments of various organisations in industry. Those with more experience can become self-employed, providing a variety of accountancy and taxation services to a range of small to medium size businesses. In many larger organisations, accounting technicians work alongside members of the chartered accountancy bodies. In smaller organisations, they may be the only trained financial member of staff employed. Different financial sectors require specialist knowledge and this can determine what areas a technician chooses to specialise in.
