Typically my day-to-day jobs at Ellacotts include preparing year-end accounts, business tax computations and completing VAT returns. I have also had the opportunity to meet clients in meetings, represent Ellacotts at country shows and attend events with other professional firms in our industry.
In my current role, I prepare accounts for our agriculture clients as well as prepare and file confirmation statements for clients. With the amount of different clients that we help I get to see many different aspects on a daily basis.
I joined the Agriculture and Property department in October 2020 as an AAT Trainee. This is my first role within an accountancy firm. My typical day involves preparing accounts and completing VAT returns alongside any additional tasks set to me.
I am an AAT level 4 trainee within the Agriculture and Property team in the Kettering office. My day-to-role includes preparing harvest accounts for farmers and completing client VAT returns.
Day-to-day, I am preparing accounts and tax returns for a variety of clients, including sole traders, partnerships and companies, as well as adhoc tasks that arise. Adapting your approach to each client means no two days are the same.
On a daily basis, I am involved with preparing accounts and tax returns, as well as some inheritance tax and capital gains tax computations and preparing VAT returns for clients.
My job entails preparing year-end accounts, VAT returns and tax returns for clients. I often help advise clients with any enquiries they may have, and deliver them with solutions. This can sometimes be in the form of assisting clients on using the Xero software.
Ellacotts has given me the opportunity to develop my career by doing what I love most – assisting farmers with their accounts. I enjoy building client relationships, being involved in discussing their future plans and being able to attend agricultural shows and prospect client meetings.
