The AAT Programme


AAT (Association of Accounting Technicians) is a globally recognised qualification that provides the essential skills and knowledge needed for a career in accounting and finance. This qualification covers key areas such as bookkeeping, financial accounting, and business taxation. It’s perfect for those looking to start their career in the accounting profession.


The AAT qualification offers hands-on training and practical experience, making it an ideal choice for school leavers who want to build a strong foundation in accounting. Your career with Menzies doesn’t stop there – you could also have the opportunity to continue your studies with further qualifications, such as the 3-year ACA qualification, opening doors to even greater career prospects.


What does our Audit Assurance team do?


Our Audit Assurance teams carry out a detailed, risk-based review of a company’s financials to determine whether the financial statements are an accurate reflection.


We look to challenge the financial operations of a company and help to improve the internal processes of a business. This is critical in today’s business world as its financial statements are one of only a small number of documents that a company will place into the public domain, and a quality audit gives confidence in what is delivered to all stakeholders.


What do we look for?


✔️ Individuals who are collaborative and eager to take on new challenges
✔️ Minimum of 2 x A levels (A-C) and one other A level or equivalent
✔️ 5 GCSEs grades A*-C or 9-4 (including Maths and English Language or equivalent)
✔️ Ability to absorb new information and adapt quickly
✔️ Comfortable working with numbers and demonstrating strong attention to detail
✔️ Clear and thoughtful written and verbal communication skills
✔️ Able to explain financial information in an accessible and supportive manner


If this sounds like the opportunity for you, we’d love to hear from you!
