The product is number 1 in this market, you will get full training in sales and proposal writing; your leads and appointments are provided for you (the role does not involve cold calling), you will talk to clients face to face, about what they require the accounting software to do for their business, demonstrate the software and close the business. Your understanding of accounting will come from your University Degree, and you should be able to talk coherently to customers about the accounting aspects of their business.

Their accounting software product has won multiple awards, they have over a 1000 clients across the globe using their software and they are named as one of Britain’s ‘brightest businesses’. The software encompasses ledgers, billing, order processing, financial accounting, consolidation and process automation.

They are looking for a really bright, motivated and keen graduate, with an outgoing personality, excellent communication skills, happy to go out and talk to clients face to face, and looking to have a really successful career in software sales, whilst using their accounting and finance knowledge. You should be willing to travel to client sites all over the UK to demonstrate the software.
