Accountancy
28 February 2023 - 1 min read
I started studying towards my AAT Foundation Certificate in Accounting - Level 2 because I started a role as a graduate Sage support consultant after finishing university. My role means I am using Sage cloud accounting systems every day.
After finishing a degree in IT management for business I wanted to improve my knowledge of both bookkeeping and financial processes in the workplace whilst using Sage accounting systems. This was information I wasn’t exposed to at university.
The only reservation I had about undertaking my ICS work from home was that I could miss out on support if or when I get stuck on questions or learning material.
I particularly enjoyed learning about the units for Bookkeeping Transactions and Bookkeeping Controls to better my knowledge of books of prime entry, ledgers, control accounts, and performing bank reconciliations for example.
Unit 6 Using Accounting Software lets you build a live environment where you can process sales and purchases transactions, process bank and cash transactions and create financial reports. All of which are applicable to my current job role.
