owners or accounts teams can gain an Association of Accounting Technicians accredited bookkeeping qualification.
Gill Daly, Manchester centre Manager said: “Kaplan are a leading provider of accountancy training worldwide and as a Greater Manchester business we are proud to offer SME’s in Lancashire with full funding to develop essential accountancy and bookkeeping skills.
“This is just one of the ways that the European Social Fund is helping to support business growth in the local community.”
Andrew McVeigh a local business owner of a construction company said:
“This is a great opportunity for us as a construction firm. As a small business with only 3 staff we don’t have the budget to spend on training. I will attend the course to gain some basic bookkeeping skills which I would normally pay my accountant to carry out. I work in the construction sector mainly on sites so this is a great opportunity to increase my skill set and will help me to understand the commercial aspect of my business more rigorously without relying too much on my accountant, he can then focus our accountancy budget on our more strategic business decisions. “
