Paid Accounting Cadetship

Earn while you learn and start your career as an accountant!

Actuate Accounting is a boutique accounting firm based on the North Shore and we are looking for several students to join our team to work towards a career as a Chartered Accountant.

Initially, you will join our growing team as a Trainee Chartered Accountant. By combining full-time work with your part-time accounting degree study, you will put theory into practice and gain experience in all areas of accounting with clients across a range of exciting industries.

Our firm offers generous support and flexible study leave arrangements as well as direct learning opportunities with senior management. This is an opportunity to kickstart your career, earn a good starting salary and gain industry experience so you graduate ahead of your peers.

Who are you?

We are looking for enthusiastic and proactive students who have:

  • Completed the HSC or equivalent (or will soon) and plan to enrol in an Accounting Degree
  • Strong written and oral communication skills
  • An interest in business and accounting
  • The capacity to work full-time while studying part-time

Why work with us?

Actuate Accounting is a young, friendly, and supportive working environment which offers:

  • Start on 31 January so you can enjoy the Christmas and summer holidays
  • Study and exam leave so you can keep on top of your work at university
  • A flat organisational structure so you have daily interaction with senior managers and company directors (most of whom also started their accounting careers as cadets)
  • Mentoring, coaching and career planning with experienced accounting professionals

How to apply

If you would like to apply for the Cadetship, please send a basic CV along with a cover letter to Laura so you can introduce yourself and let us know:

  1. Why you would like to be a trainee accountant
  2. Your plans for studying at university
  3. Your current career aspirations; and
  4. What you enjoy doing outside of work and study

If you have any other supporting documentation, including academic transcripts, awards or written references, you are welcome to send that through, too.
