The Accounts Assistant

In order to stay competitive and achieve greater profit, most organisations today operate at a rapid pace. After the initial induction period, many organisations find setting aside time to make sure staff fully understand the ins and outs of their departments near impossible. Though some departments can afford to allow 'trial and error' basis learning, mistakes made in a financial department have the potential to cause major damage to an organisation.

CBM Training have developed this essential 2 day course, which will enable financial assistants to understand how they can contribute the efficiency of their department and avoid making costly mistakes.

Attend this practical two day training course and gain the foundational knowledge you need in order to:

• Increase your level of accuracy and cut down unnecessary extra work by following a proven set of administration tips and techniques
• Spot fraudulent or invalid invoices with ease by knowing what 'red flags' and missing information to look out for
• Reduce frustration and wasted time by implementing a step-by-step approach for dealing with Bank Reconciliations, Debtors or Creditors
• Provide 'smart' support by keeping the objectives of your Manager in mind when you prepare financial information
• Add value by learning how to solve first line problems without having to burden your Manager unnecessarily
• Deal confidently with queries in your Manager's absence by having a clear understanding of the Accounting Process
• Boost your performance by understanding the value that Managers place on an Accounts Assistant who is trustworthy, reliable and responsible

In order to address this challenge, CBM Training have developed a comprehensive 2 day programme aimed at Accounts Assistants that will show them how to:

• Increase their precision when capturing invoices by implementing simple checks and procedures
• Reduce their Manager's workload by learning how to solve first-line problems and correctly identifying when to escalate a problem
• Deal with queries when their Manager is absent by understanding the systems and procedures that their department uses
• Streamline their working day by following a step-by-step procedure for admin-intensive tasks including Bank Reconciliations and dealing with Debtors or Creditors
• Appreciate the importance of accuracy by grasping the impact that their work has on the bigger picture
• Add value by considering what different people (e.g. an Accountant, Financial Manager or Managing Director) will look for in the information they provide

In just two training days CBM Training will equip delegates with the foundational knowledge that they need in order to understand the intricacies of their position as well as provide valuable support to their managers.
