About the opportunity
We are looking for a motivated individual for our 12-month accounting placement role within our Grantham office. This position is ideal for anyone seeking to gain experience in this industry and kickstart their career in accounting.
If you’re a second-year university student looking to work in business services, or tax, this is a great opportunity for you.
What you will be doing
* Preparing, amending, printing and sending accounts to Companies House
* Preparing and amending tax returns and computations
* Collaborating effectively with team members to keep workflows running efficiently
* Acknowledging both internal and external emails, ensuring all are responded to quickly
* Supporting accountants and advisors with day‑to‑day client work
* Learning industry software and accounting procedures
What You’ll Need to Succeed
* You need to be a second year university student and commit to our 12 month opportunity
* Demonstrated proficiency in collaborating within a team environment.
* Exceptional communication abilities, both written and verbal.
* Dedication to enhancing professional and technical expertise.
* Eagerness to cultivate a diverse set of IT skills to enhance performance.
* Enthusiasm for engaging in formal training opportunities, including on‑the‑job learning experience
Our placement trainees finish the programme with:
* Valuable and employable skills within their specialism.
* Experience at one of the UK’s most respected accountancy businesses.
* Confidence in their ability to work on a range of projects.
* A fantastic professional network to take with them through their career.
* Real case studies and contributions that they can add to their CV.
Lots of our second‑year placement students go on to secure roles with us after they graduate. This placement could be a great way for you to get your foot in the door of the accountancy industry and set yourself up for a job post‑university.
As a second-year university student, we aren’t expecting you to know everything already or have heaps of work experience under your belt. However, we do want applicants who can commit to the full 12-month placement, commute to our Grantham office and want to make a meaningful contribution to our work at Duncan & Toplis.
