Accountant - Gwynedd
Accountant
Accountant jobs come in a range of skill levels, from trainee right up to senior. That means that although there will always be a need for chartered accountants in the jobs market, it’s also a discipline that can be entered at a relatively low level, but always with excellent prospects for the most talented and hard-working.
For the most part, companies are looking for qualified accountants with AAT, ACCA, AIA, CIMA or ICAEW qualifications to step into accountancy departments and work under direct supervision. However, since there’s such a spectrum of accountancy qualification and experience, and a significant array of accountancy skills required to work in specific sectors, the details of the job advert will be crucial if an accountant is to slot into a given role with the relevant qualifications, experience and sectoral understanding.
Accountancy – the skills required
Accountants tend to know they want to take their chosen career paths from an early age. They are always people who love mathematics and who have an analytical mindset, and can apply these skills to getting to the bottom of any finance-related task that is set for them.
Accountant roles will also require a degree of business acumen – knowing the ins and outs of what makes industry tick (money) will stand an accountant in good stead, and it’s something that only ever improves with experience.

ROLESAccountant Jobs in Gwynedd
Gwynedd is the county that takes up the whole of the north west of Wales, Anglesey aside. Within its borders are a range of well known holiday resorts and the highest mountain outside Scotland, Snowdon in the Snowdonia National Park. This National Park takes up much of Gwynedd’s area, and attracts visitors from all over the world all the year round. Key settlements in the county are Bangor, Caernarfon (the administrative headquarters), Pwllheli, Porthmadog, Barmouth, Dollgellau, Blaenau Ffestiniog and Beddgelert. Before tourism, the region had a proud mining heritage.
The county of Gwynedd is the second largest by area in Wales but has a relatively small population, 120,000, partly because much of the mountainous land is uninhabitable. However, the static population is only part of the story, and the vast numbers of tourists mean that the supply chain and logistics industry is kept busy. That is good news for anyone seeking Accountant jobs, and they are quite common in Gwynedd.
