London, United Kingdom David Kester & Associates Ltd (DK&A Ltd) Full time

**Employer Description**

We’re a diverse team of creatives from different cultures, sectors and backgrounds. What we have in common is our optimistic approach - and our belief in the role of user-centred design in creating positive growth.

Our mission is to help our clients become the best innovators they can be, creating great products, services and experiences. Our vision is to create Responsible Revolutions. These are the ways we innovate together to meet the needs of business, people and the planet. It’s  how we change the world around us for the better.

We’ve grown from our humble beginnings around a kitchen table in 2015 to a team of over 40 staff and Associates from multi-disciplinary backgrounds - all with a passion for the transformative potential of design.

We split the week between online and in-person at our studio in a converted factory in Wandsworth. All Tuesdays are in the studio for collaboration sessions and a big team lunch, though be warned: you won’t be able to get past the door without greeting Filo, our agency dog.

**Basic vacancy details**

Working alongside the Finance Director the apprentice will learn all aspects of a busy finance function, including; bookkeeping, financial reporting, invoicing, credit control, office administration as well as getting to know all aspects of the business.

This is a great opportunity to take the first step on your career and also to become an integral part of a growing and ambitious business.

**Training to be provided**

You will undertake the “Accounts / Finance Assistant” Apprenticeship (an Intermediate Apprenticeship in Accounting), with full support from Accountancy Learning as part of their Apprenticeship Programme.

Assessment will be by an “End Point Assessment”, which will include the following two elements:

- A Structured Interview. This will consist of 10 questions asked by an AAT Independent Assessor. It will last 60 minutes and will be performed remotely via the AAT on-line video portal. The questions will allowing you to to display the knowledge and experience you have obtained over your apprenticeship. You will build a Portfolio of reflections and product evidence that will be used to support your answers to these 10 questions.
- An In-tray Test. This will be undertaken under exam conditions and will last 105 minutes. It will be based on what you have studied in your AAT Level 2 Certificate in Accounting.

Successful completion of the AAT (Level 2) Foundation Certificate in Accounting is a mandatory element of the Accounts / Finance Assistant Apprenticeship. Your Apprenticeship will therefore include formal studies towards this qualification. It is anticipated that your apprenticeship duration will be for 15 months, although earlier completion is possible, provided the duration exceeds one year and a week.

You will receive support from both the employer, and the training provider, to complete and achieve your Apprenticeship and will be given time to study during the week on a day release basis. As you are working towards a professional qualification, it is also expected that you will continue your studies outside of normal office hours.

As you learn more in both the office and in your studies your responsibilities, and the variety of tasks you undertake, are expected to increase.
