At Moore Kingston Smith, we believe in the potential of people to make a positive impact, fuelled by the power of genuine understanding.

As an accredited training firm, we’re committed to providing first-class professional development in a supportive and friendly environment. Through our Level 4 Accountancy Apprenticeship, you will gain hands-on experience, develop essential skills, and build the foundation for a successful career within accounts and business advisory. You will work with businesses across a wide range of sectors, delivering exceptional client service while earning a Level 4 Diploma in Professional Accounting from the Association of Accounting Technicians (AAT).

The MooreMentum team delivers growth advisory services to SMEs, through structured programmes that guide clients on a journey from defining their vision to identifying innovative ways to stand out. Acting as trusted advisors, the team helps clients maximise what they have by improving their efficiency, productivity and increasing their business value for eventual sale.

From the outset, you will work closely with a portfolio of clients with whom we build long-term, trusted relationships. You’ll meet with them regularly – at least on a monthly basis – and become a consistent point of contact as you support them through ongoing projects. You’ll get to know their businesses, uncover the obstacles they face, and become familiar with their sectors. Rather than purely short-term assignments, much of the work is continuous and evolving, giving you the opportunity to see the impact of your advice over the longer term. We encourage you to take responsibility early on, allowing you to gain exposure to all aspects of the role.

With support and training, key responsibilities in the first 12 months will include:

Supporting the team with the preparation of monthly management accounts for owner managed businesses, including posting journals and reviewing results
Assisting with bookkeeping queries using cloud accounting software such as Xero and QuickBooks
Supporting process improvement work, including system set ups, reviews and streamlining finance processes
Helping clients improve their use of finance systems to gain better real‑time insight into their business
Assisting with the preparation of client dashboards, KPIs and performance metrics
Using Excel extensively to analyse data to provide insight to our clients used to support business decisions, not just compliance
Helping to prepare cash flow forecasts, budgets and simple financial models
Learning how to interpret financial information and identify trends, risks and opportunities for clients
Learning how different business models work and how financial performance links to operational activity
Developing an understanding of how to communicate numbers in a clear, non‑technical way to business owners
Contributing to client meetings, including preparing schedules, slides or notes
Responding to client queries on day-to-day finance issues and system use
Liaising with other experts on the client’s behalf to assist with other business issues (HR teams/lawyers/tax specialists/banks etc)
Building awareness of wider commercial issues such as growth, funding, cash management and business performance
Visiting client’s offices to engage with the wider team, not just the business owner
Working closely with managers to free up their time by assisting with last minute or ad-hoc tasks

There will be opportunities to progress in the business upon completion.
