How do I get an entry level staff accountant job?
Employers hiring at this level look for foundational skills in general ledger maintenance, accounts payable and receivable, and month-end close support. A relevant degree in accounting or finance is the most common baseline, but internship experience, bookkeeping coursework, or hands-on practice with accounting software like QuickBooks or Excel can give candidates a real edge. Tailoring your resume to each posting's listed tools and duties helps significantly at this stage.

Are there remote entry level staff accountant jobs?
Yes, though most entry level roles still favor on-site or hybrid arrangements. About 30% of entry level staff accountant openings are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, which means candidates who prefer schedule flexibility do have options. Remote roles at this level often require reliable home-office software access and some prior experience with cloud-based accounting platforms.
Are these new grad staff accountant jobs?
Yes. This page includes new grad, recent graduate, and junior staff accountant roles alongside other entry level postings. A new-grad-friendly posting typically welcomes zero to two years of experience, accepts internships or practicum work in place of full-time history, and sometimes values a strong coursework portfolio over years on the job. Look for language like "no experience required" or "will train" as positive signals.
Which industries hire the most entry level staff accountants?
Entry Level staff accountant roles concentrate in Staffing & Recruiting, Manufacturing, and Accounting & Auditing, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026.
