New Grad Accounting Jobs

This list tracks 100K+ company job sources and updates hourly with new grad accounting roles across staff accounting, audit, tax, accounts payable, controls, and accounting operations.

Graduates can start as staff accountants, audit or assurance associates, tax associates, accounts payable or receivable analysts, cost accountants, internal-controls analysts, and accounting-operations specialists. Public accounting firms often recruit cohorts around graduation dates and busy-season starts, while corporate accounting teams, nonprofits, government contractors, and shared-service organizations may hire throughout the year. Work can include reconciliations, journal entries, financial-statement support, audit testing, tax preparation, control documentation, and close activities. Accounting-credit requirements vary, especially for roles aligned with CPA eligibility. Employers may also consider finance or business graduates for operational positions, but internships, bookkeeping, accounting software, spreadsheet skill, and evidence of accuracy are frequently relevant.

Determine whether the opening is a structured associate program or a direct team hire, then compare training, client exposure, rotation options, and expected responsibility during close or busy season. Review the original posting for degree discipline, credit hours, graduation window, GPA or transcript requests, CPA eligibility or exam support, travel, overtime, hybrid attendance, and software requirements. Compensation should be read alongside paid overtime, bonus, exam or credential support, and any repayment terms. Audit, tax, corporate, and operational accounting lead to different daily schedules and learning paths even when titles sound similar. If an opening requests one or two years of experience, check whether internships count and whether the duties and supervision still reflect an attainable first full-time role. Note the reporting calendar and expected workload around close, filing, and audit periods, then compare the type and size of clients or business units supported.
