Description

Why pick Woodville?
Hello,

We are looking for a trainee accountant who wants to start or continue improving their all-round business knowledge. We help our customers learn what their true goals are and why they are in business. Then we help them to get there.

By joining Woodville, you will be trained in how to find these things and then how to produce the numbers that matter.

It's not just about producing amazing sets of books and management accounts (although we do that too ;) ). We want to give the meaning behind the numbers. This helps our customers to make decisions that really impact them and those around them.

Benefits of working at Woodville
-
True flexible working. Do you want to start and finish early? Or start and finish late? Maybe you want to finish early on a Friday and catch up on a Sunday? All of this is more than OK As long as we hit our measures and we're on top of our work you can work how you work best. Our aim is to get to a Results-Only Work Environment. It's a work in practice, but we're moving there slowly
-
Working From Home. Whilst there is still a place for the office, COVID-19 has brought forward changes to the workplace which were always going to happen. If you want to work in the office all the time or split your time between your home and a work office, that works for us (following successful probation period)
-
Casual Dress. We have a casual dress code meaning you can come to work comfortably if you want. Definitely no ties
-
Company Events. Work hard, play hard. That's what we like to do. Last year we had team drinks and food booked in April, followed by Haydock Races in August. We have a team away day booked in April with the races again not long after.
-
Competitive salary. £18k-26k (FTE) depending on experience and skill level.
-
Clear targets. We will work with you to set clear expectations and support you to achieve them.
-
Free Parking.

Connected team environment. We use Microsoft Teams to stay connected internally whilst we are split between the office and home.

Training. Continue your training whilst working with us. We offer time off for exams and study periods.
