What is an Accounting
Technician?
Accounting Technicians are qualified accounting
professionals employed throughout all levels of
finance across the public sector, industry, commerce
and private accountancy practices.
� Accounting Technicians are involved in the day-
to-day practical work of accountancy and play a
key operational role in producing reliable financial
information. They can perform a wide range of
finance roles, from accounts staff to financial
controller and beyond.
� They can work on their own or alongside
professional accountants. In a small company, they
may be the only qualified employee looking after
the finance function, while in a larger company,
they may be working as part of a team alongside
accountants and administrative staff.
Accounting Technicians can perform Accounting Technicians can be employed
financial roles associated with fully in a wide variety of sectors and industries
trained accountants including: including:
Financial accounting and budgeting Manufacturing
Costing and credit control Local and central government
Payroll administration and tax returns The health service
Senior managerial tasks Financial services including banking and insurance
Auditing and assurance work Shared services provision
Consulting All sectors of commercial industry
Corporate finance Private accountancy firms
Tax planning Leasing
Insolvency Real estate
Self-employment is another career option for qualified Accounting Technicians, and many of our members run
their own successful accountancy practice.
Many Accounting Technician graduates enrol in further study, using the qualification and the exemptions it
brings as a stepping stone as they work towards becoming a fully qualified accountant.

� Mature students who would like to go on to further study but who don’t know how to take that first step
� Students of Further Education programmes in business or accounting who wish to progress to a professional qualification
� Those who currently work or have previously worked in a finance role such as bookkeeping, general administration,
payroll, accounting assistance etc., but have not received any formal training to date

� The self-employed who would like to improve their business and financial management skills
Ultimately the Diploma for Accounting Technicians increases employment opportunities for a broad range of accounting

Accounting Technician’s career. Moreover, it opens doors to further accounting studies via exemptions with professional
bodies and higher education institutions.
I’d recommend the Accounting Technicians Ireland Diploma programme as it gives people a sense
of what working in accounting and finance is like. It was really positive for me and gave me a
self-confidence and inner pride that is one of the most valuable things I’ve taken into my career.
