Work experience

in Bookkeeping
I have recently completed the Advanced Certificate in Bookkeeping Level 3 and I am now looking for some hands - on work experience before I can eventually become self employed. I'm looking for a few hours each week which I'm happy to undertake on a voluntary basis.

Does anyone have any help or advice on how I could go about this please? I have approached a couple of local accountants/bookkeepers but unfortunately they don't have anything available at the moment.

Many thanks.

    Where are you based @NinaJohnson? Try reaching out to your local branch for support if there's one near you.

    There's a good article on the AAT blog too: How to gain experience when you can’t get work experience

    I am interested in gaining voluntary work experience with helping start-ups, people wanting to start their own business, particularly helping them to prepare the financials for a business plan to be discussed with the bank/funding partners. Are there any charities which offer these kind of services?
