ACCOUNTING
ROBIN OATRIDGE & CO. “At Robin Oatridge & Co. apprentices play a very important role within our firm. Each September, we take on a school or college leaver onto the AAT Apprenticeship scheme. We have worked alongside Preston College for a number of years now, as we believe in helping talented individuals develop into qualified and highly competent Accountants. Apprentices enjoy the support provided from their Preston College tutors whilst playing an active role within a thriving Accountancy office. Based in Bamber Bridge, not only do we provide traditional accounting services such as tax, accountancy, value added tax and payroll, we also offer advice for business start-ups, computer software and systems, tailored to each particular client’s needs. Apprentices will be involved in all areas of the business, allowing them to be fully competent if offered a promise of future employment. Continuous training is provided by both their work-based mentor and their college tutor. The AAT qualification is a strong grounding for any budding accountant and tied in with the on-the-job training that we offer, is a great stepping-stone to a successful career in accountancy. After completing the AAT qualification, we support staff in taking the next step in completing the ACCA qualification and becoming a Chartered Certified Accountant. Today, we have apprentices that work alongside other fully qualified staff members who started out just like them. There is no better proof of this than Paul Woodburn who started his working career at Robin Oatridge as an AAT apprentice studying at Preston College, before becoming ACCA qualified and a Director of the Practice.”
