I am nearing the end of my ACCA studies and am considering my career options. I currently work in a small company doing AP, AR, and VAT all on Excel.
I have been here for one year and it is only me doing the job so there is no opportunity for progression.
Employment agencies tell me I am too qualified and not enough experience for their jobs, so how do I move on? I want to work for a larger company where there is opportunity for progression. I have changed career, age shouldn’t hold me back, but in this competitive market it is possible.

Try moving into an auditing firm. Depending on where you live, you may be able to get an internship, so try that route.
I am in your situation but with more years. I am 27 and i ve been in a trading company for almost 3 years and i have limited experience like you. I am also looking to move to an audit firm for say 2-4 years of exposure. It will only do good.
You might have to take a pay cut but you will definitely be glad you took the right decision if you move to audit/public accounting. The exposure and knowledge you get will be huge. Give yourself a few years there and with your ACCA you will see better opportunities come ur way.
