Respectfully, what type of work do you think you should be doing as an entry level trainee with no experience? What did you think the role would be?
Gaining experience in a key software package like Sage is really valuable - people pay for courses to be able to get that type of experience on their CV so they can get their foot in the door for roles! You're really fortunate.
It's great that you did well on the exams, but real life work isn't like the exams. Practical knowledge of accounting systems and how finance functions operate is important. There are legal obligations in terms of maintaining accounting records. It's not glamorous but the admin matters.
If you wanted to set up as a bookkeeper those are skills you would need - your clients wouldn't want to have conceptual accounting discussions either and you wouldn't be manually laying out T accounts. They'd want you to be fluent in maintaining their records using current tech, managing risks and complying with their legal obligations to keep appropriate accounting records.
Do you know how to fix errors in sage? Maintain a fixed asset register? Deal with write offs? Do year end recs? Bank recs? VAT returns? Operate different VAT schemes? Run reports for auditors? Post opening balance journals? Problem solve unusual scenarios or discrepancies? Do you know how to differentiate between capital and revenue expenditure when you're performing data entry? Analyse restricted versus unrestricted funds? Able to write narrative descriptions that summarise the nature of each transaction accurately so an auditor or HMRC will be satisfied?
These are all things you could be learning and embracing in your existing role. If you want to progress up into more senior positions then you need a thorough understanding of all the practical basics.
Do you think data entry and admin is beneath you? Because that's how you're coming across, so hopefully it's not the impression you're giving your colleagues.
Developing a foundation with the "boring" stuff is how you learn the practical skills to progress. It takes a minimum of 3 years to qualify as an accountant for a reason - it wasn't a reasonable expectation to think you'd be entrusted with the exciting high profile tasks before you had experience.
What is your long term goal? What kind of role do you ultimately want to be doing?
Have you looked at training contracts in accountancy practices? That would come with a clear progression pathway from first year trainee up into management and beyond, but I cannot think of any route into the profession that isn't going to start with the basics - because they are important.
