- Excellent opportunity for Undergraduates: Part-time accounting position
Please note that the next starting date for this role is late June 2012.
Generally, a university graduate’s role in their first year of work is learning the ropes of office life and preparing basic tax returns!!
In contrast, Overells’ graduates have extensive experience and are supported in taking their qualifications to the next level - do you want to join them in being miles ahead of the pack?
By joining Overells in your first year of university (or second year for students doing a dual degree) you can kick start your career and have vast practical, hands-on experience by the time you graduate.
Following graduation, your cadetship with Overells will continue for two years and we will support you while you obtain the tax module of your CA or CPA!!
At the conclusion of the cadetship, we will pay the profit share that you have accrued as a lump sum (including interest) and support you in finding your next job!
An Overells cadetship provides progressive mentoring and training, together with a record of the skills you have acquired – ready for you to add to your resume.
Each year, Overells has four positions available for enthusiastic undergraduates who would like to work 2.5 to 3.5 days per week in semester periods and full-time during holiday breaks, while completing their degree.
We accept applications all year, with two cadets starting early in December and two cadets starting mid year.
