Hi all,

 

Just wondering if i can get a little help off anyone who has the answers.

 If a job advertised shows "assist in the preparation of Management accounts" what exact activities does this relate to? I believe i have some of most of these but just want to be sure that what my CV says, matches this.

 

Thanks in advance,

Craig

Assisting

This term is generally used in adverts and will depend on the role. It can include anything frrom Accounts reconciliations or analyses. Reporting KPIs. Preparing accruals and prepayments. Valuing stocks. Payroll analyses. Inputting etc etc

Every job role will be different. I wouldn't let the term put you off. No doubt you will have assisted already. One thing you need to bear in mind is the limitations in the role. If all you have on your PER record is assisting in the preparation then you might not meet the criteria for membership.
