A background in accountancy is not essential, although you will obviously need to be numerate, enjoy working with figures and be reasonably computer literate. You will also need to be a good communicator and feel comfortable dealing with people.

Training Provided:
Initial training comprises a fully structured course, with attendance at our head office in Derbyshire, sandwiched between time spent in home study. The detailed syllabus addresses all aspects of the business.

Training Location:
Chesterfield head office

Support Services:
Support is always available from our management team or via the support helpline. During training you will receive a complete set of Certax Accounting Manuals, which can be used for guidance once your branch is opened.
