Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
I support accounting tasks including bookkeeping, payroll, and client communications. Day-to-day, I use tools like Xero, Dext, and Karbon to manage financial data, process invoices, handle compliance checks, and assist with limited company accounts. I also attend college weekly as part of my apprenticeship.

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
Yes, I’ve developed skills in Xero, Dext, and BrightPay, improved my understanding of VAT, payroll, self assessments, and year-end accounts, and strengthened communication with clients. I’ve also gained confidence in managing deadlines and working as part of a team, alongside learning technical knowledge at college.

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Davenports Group Ltd to a friend?
Yes
Why?
I’d recommend my company because it’s a supportive place to learn and grow, especially during an apprenticeship. The team is friendly, the training is hands-on, and there are plenty of opportunities to build real skills in accounting, from bookkeeping to year-end accounts, using modern tools and systems
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Davenports Group Ltd?
Be open to learning and don’t be afraid to ask questions—everyone is really supportive. Having a basic understanding of tools like Xero or Dext helps, but what matters most is showing enthusiasm and a willingness to get stuck in. Good organisation and communication skills go a long way here.
