Hands-on experience. Real client exposure. Continuous learning.
Your Future Starts Here
As a Graduate Accountant at Stannards, you’ll kick-start your professional journey with hands-on experience, real client exposure, and continuous learning. You’ll be supported by senior mentors and leaders who genuinely care about your success and development.
We’ll invest in your growth with structured training, both in-house and external, and guide you toward achieving your CA or CPA qualification.
The Stannards Graduate Program Difference
A fast-growing AFR Top 50 chartered accounting and advisory firm, Stannards is ideal for Graduates with an appetite for a rewarding career experience, not just a job.
Always on the hunt for driven Graduate Accountants to join our supportive and dynamic team on a permanent, full-time basis, we take pride in our high-growth trajectory, exceptional client relationships, and a vibrant culture built on trust, collaboration, and professional excellence.
Internship Opportunities
While we do not currently offer a structured internship program, we do provide ad hoc opportunities for undergraduate students to work on a casual basis while completing their degree.
These roles offer valuable hands-on industry experience and can create pathways to future full-time Graduate opportunities upon completion of your studies.
We’re always looking for people who are:
- Passionate about making a difference and embracing new opportunities
- Enthusiastic about putting their knowledge into practice
- Curious about AI, emerging technologies, and how innovation can shape the future of work
- Able to bring fresh perspectives, with a mindset that values diversity, curiosity, and growth
What You’ll Do
From day one, you’ll contribute to meaningful projects, gain exposure across the firm, and develop the core skills required for a successful career in accounting. Whether supporting on client projects, collaborating with cross-functional teams, or building your technical expertise, you’ll learn through hands-on experience in a supportive, high-performing environment.
What You’ll Bring
We’re looking for motivated, detail-oriented graduates and undergraduates who are eager to learn and ready to make an impact.
You’ll ideally have:
- A Bachelor of Business or Commerce (Accounting major)
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
- Strong attention to detail and time management
- A collaborative mindset and enthusiasm for professional growth
Experience with Xero, FYI, or Excel is advantageous, but not essential – full training will be provided.
