money isn’t the biggest draw.

america’s workers are on the move. maybe it’s post- (let’s hope) pandemic restlessness. maybe it’s the closing of companies and the loss of jobs. maybe it’s the windows of opportunity that opened during remote work.

whatever it is, an astonishing 40 percent of workers say they are likely to consider a new job opportunity in 2022, according to the 2022 salary guide issued by the adecco group.
the survey finds that half of the respondents say salary is a factor in a decision to seek new work, and 44 percent say the option of remote work will figure into their decisions.
the survey focused on several professions, including accountancy. it noted that among all surveyed professions, a salary increase was of least importance to accountants. it suggested that salaries were not negatively impacted by the pandemic because the industry has been especially adept at moving to remote locations.
if the general tendency to job-hop prevails in the accounting business, hiring managers are going to have to be quick to snatch up whoever’s available with the right skillsets.
and it looks like there will be a lot of snatching up. over a third of hiring managers – 34 percent – say their accounting and finance departments will need to expand in 2022.
running contrary to that trend, 35 percent report that financial management skills are increasingly difficult to find, and 54 percent say that they are looking to hire new employees to close their firm’s skill gap.
the skillset most desired? you guessed it: tech.
salaries high at senior levels
the survey gathered salary information from all over the country, from little rock to new york, and in over 50 functions relating to accountancy, from bookkeeper to controller.
salaries weren’t very impressive for the lower levels – the bookkeepers, the basic cost accountants, the basic tax accountants, the junior associates and such. they are generally making $50,000-$80,000.
- staff accountants are making $56,000-$77,000.
- financial analysts make $67,000-$92,000.
but at the upper levels, especially senior upper levels, pay is pretty decent.
- senior accountants: $77,000-$113,000
- accounting managers: $87,000-$129,000
- controllers: $113,000-$257,000
- public accounting partners with no more than two years of experience are making an average of $153,732. senior partners are raking in an average of $345,378.
- in corporate tax and audit, junior tax directors are taking home $130,380, while those with more than 10 years under their belts are pulling down $228,451.
- in corporate accounting, senior cfos are making do with $514,24 (double a controller’s salary), but a staff accountant with a couple of years of experience with a big 4 has to scrape by on $61,902.
- among basic accounting operations, accounts receivable managers make the most, roughly $82,000 to $129,000, depending on experience.
big changes are in the offing all across the american economy.
but words of warning seem to ring double for the accounting industry:
“even though we’re embracing a new normal, there’s more change to come. employers now need to consider the next generation of professionals entering the workforce and the aggressively expanding technology that will be at the crux of their careers. these new job seekers are more skilled and more selective, and employers are discovering that it takes extra effort to attract the very best of these professionals.”
