Accounting technicians assist accountants by collecting, checking and analyzing financial information on
their behalf. They usually work in a support role within a firm of accountants, or in the accounts or
finance departments of various organisations in industry.
Those with more experience can become self-employed, providing a variety of accountancy and taxation
services to a range of small to medium size businesses. In many larger organisations, accounting
technicians work alongside members of the chartered accountancy bodies. In smaller organisations, they
may be the only trained financial member of staff employed. Different financial sectors require specialist
knowledge and this can determine what areas a technician chooses to specialise in.
