Job description

About Us

Protronics Ltd is a well-established consultancy specialising in Sage accounts software. For over 25 years, we ve helped businesses across many sectors work more efficiently and effectively by optimising their accounts systems, with a particular emphasis on Sage 200.

We are an intentionally small company, where every person matters. You d be joining just two people in our London office, as part of a wider team of seven, so this is not like joining a large corporate graduate scheme: For the right person, this is a rare opportunity to build broad, valuable systems and consultancy skills in a supportive environment, learning directly from experienced consultants.

Consultancy is a broad term so what do we do?

• Talk to clients to understand how their business works and how data flows through it
• Identify inefficiencies, bottlenecks, and repetitive tasks
• Advise on how processes could be improved and how software can be best used
• Install and configure accounting software (mainly Sage 200) and related systems
• Migrate data, create reports, design layouts, procedure notes, and provide training and ongoing support
• Integrate software with other systems or provide customisations

In short, we work with people, processes, and technology to help businesses run smoothly, using a mix of accounting, IT, and analytical skills.

Notably, what we don t do:

• Advise on business strategy/development per se (though of course good systems consultancy involves understanding broader company goals)
• Interpret or analyse financial performance for clients
• Offer general IT/network/hardware support
• Provide actual accounting services

• Contribute to system configuration, testing, and project work

You ll also receive structured development support, including:

• CIMA Certificate level (with potential to continue to full qualification)
• Sage and Sicon training and certification
• Mentoring and ongoing skills development

This is a multi-faceted, hands‑on, analytical role with real responsibility - perfect for someone who enjoys problem‑solving and learning in a practical, professional environment.

Who We re Looking For

We re seeking a bright, analytical graduate who will thrive in a close‑knit, professional team.

Required:

• Analytical mindset, attention to detail, problem‑solving ability
• Excellent communication skills
