Specific qualifications and tools vary by role. Examples include a finance degree, AAT Level 3, and the opportunity to work towards ACCA, CIMA, ACA or CTA qualifications.

Applying as an international student
Graduate, internship and apprenticeship roles are important because there are 26 in the search, while graduate level opportunities can be limited within the wider results. Consider internships, placements and apprenticeships alongside permanent graduate roles, especially where an advert offers training or asks for only a little experience. A strong graduate may still fit an entry level role if the evidence in the application matches the work.
An employer holding a sponsor licence is not promising sponsorship for every vacancy. Read each advert carefully and ask the employer whether the specific role can support your immigration position. Check the Graduate visa route and current Skilled Worker rules on GOV.UK, including the requirements that apply to your circumstances, before relying on any job listing.
- Show practical evidence of Excel, analysis, accuracy, reporting, communication and process improvement in your CV and examples.
- Check the role location, level, experience request and visa wording before applying.
