4 4 I chose Moore Stephens because I wanted to gain experience working with clients of varying size and sector.

5 School leavers opportunities We are looking to recruit a number of AAT associates into different areas of the organisation, including: Corporate audit in this department you ll need an analytical mind as you join a pool of trainees who provide audit and accounting services to managers and partners. You will work with a broad range of clients covering a variety of sectors from financial services to technology companies and sports clubs. Governance, risk & insurance this team provides advice on a wide range of issues, including loss-reserving, taxation, solvency and regulatory compliance, management information systems, litigation support and forensic accounting. Outsourcing provides clients with the full range of accounting and back office services, including bookkeeping, accounts preparation, management accounting, VAT compliance, forecasting and budgeting and any other ad hoc advice and assistance on accounting matters. A day in the life of an AAT associate I applied to study the AAT because the idea of going to university didn t appeal to me. Completing the AAT alongside a full-time job meant I could gain a qualification as well as relevant work experience. The AAT has lead me to go on and study for my ACCA qualification and I hope to be a fully qualified accountant within the next year. I currently work in the Business Support & Outsourcing department at Moore Stephens, where my time is spent preparing year end and monthly management accounts for owner managed businesses. I enjoy the responsibilities and problem solving that comes with every job and the opportunity to meet new and interesting people. Kirsty, AAT Associate 5
