Graduate Accountant - ACCA Training Provided

Job specification Mondi operates a highly centralised treasury function, managing global funding, cash pooling in multiple currencies, and foreign exchange hedging through a specialist team based in the UK and Vienna. We are seeking a Graduate Accountant to join our high-performing Treasury team in the UK. Reporting to the Assistant Group Treasurer, you will support treasury accounting and reporting activities, including debt, cash, foreign exchange, as well as month-end processes, bank reconciliations, and treasury-related queries from Group subsidiaries. This graduate position offers comprehensive on-the-job training and full financial support towards the ACCA chartered accounting qualification, including paid study leave. Working closely with both the UK and Vienna teams, you will gain broad exposure to treasury operations and build a strong foundation for a career in finance and accounting. What is treasury? Most graduates haven't heard of treasury, but it's a great place to start a finance career. Treasury manages a company's cash, banking relationships, borrowings, and financial risks. As part of a small team at the centre of a large international business, you'll gain early exposure to banks, financial markets and senior stakeholders and finance teams . We're not looking for treasury experience. We're looking for someone who is numerate, curious, analytical, and eager to learn. Alongside the role, you'll study for the ACCA qualification, building both practical experience and a recognised professional qualification. Treasury offers a unique mix of finance, problem-solving, negotiation, and business partnering. No two days are the same, and the skills you develop are highly transferable across finance functions, industries, and companies. So if you like numbers but don't necessarily want a career where you're doing the same type of accounting every month, treasury can be a very interesting place to start. And if, after you’ve qualified, you decide that treasury isn’t for you, the skills that you’ll have learned are transferable and an excellent grounding for a career elsewhere in finance.
