As a Business Administration Apprentice at Stubbs Parkin, you will play an important role in supporting the smooth day-to-day running of the practice. You will work alongside experienced colleagues, gaining hands-on experience in client administration, office support and professional accountancy procedures, while developing your organisational, communication, customer service and digital skills. Provide reception and telephone support, greet clients and help manage appointments and diaries.
Manage general office inboxes, post, scanning, filing and the digital document management system. Support the day-to-day running of the office, including meeting room preparation, couriers and ordering supplies. Support new client onboarding, including AML checks, HMRC authorisations and maintaining accurate client records. Assist with client administration, including obtaining missing information, signed documents and processing client submissions.
Assist with secure file archiving and develop an understanding of confidentiality, compliance and office procedures within an accountancy practice. Full training and support will be provided throughout the apprenticeship.
This is an exciting role within a small, friendly, family run business. You will be the first point of contact within the business, working on our reception desk and dealing with clients to direct their initial enquiries, and chasing for books and reports.
