Overview
Graduate Accountant Trainee - December 2025 Start - Truro
Join to apply for the Graduate Accountant Trainee role at targetjobs UK. You will join a three-year training programme to become a Chartered Accountant (ACA). You’ll earn while you learn, working whilst studying. We pay for all training and qualifications and support you every step of the way. We are ranked in the Sunday Times Top 100 Apprenticeship Employers list 2025.
What you'll be doing
You will be challenged with new opportunities daily across a variety of sectors and clients, from start-ups to AIM-listed companies and not-for-profit organisations. Our business advisory teams help clients prepare year-end accounts, management accounts, forecasts and projections. You’ll gain experience in areas such as company and business taxation, company secretarial matters and VAT returns, providing a breadth of commercial, tax and general accountancy exposure.
About You
You’ll enjoy this job if you like analytical work, working with numbers, solving problems, talking to people, becoming an expert and being part of a supportive team. Studying alongside working is demanding; as an ACA trainee, you’ll need to do regular independent study outside of working hours to revise for professional exams.
What we're looking for
* On track to achieve or have obtained a 2.2 or above in any degree discipline
* Minimum of 112 UCAS points (from three A Levels or equivalent, excluding general studies)
* Grade 4-9 or C or above in GCSE Maths and English
We recommend applying ASAP as there will be a virtual assessment centre for this position in the Autumn for a December 2025 start date.
