Salary Range for Accounting Careers
The salary range for accounting careers depends on the area of accounting that the individual in question is employed in, as well as the part of the country where they work and reside. A Certified Professional Accountant in a large metropolitan area like New York City will earn more than an accountant in a smaller city like Fresno, California, for example. Taking all the different salaries into account, the average accountants and auditors earn roughly between $40,000 and $70,000 annually, with the bottom ten percent earning as little as $32,000 and the top ten percent earning as much as $90,000. Salaries often depend on factors such as the cost of living in the area and the relative experience of the particular accounting professional. The industries that employ accountants and professionals include the United States government, accounting firms, tax preparation services, bookkeepers, payroll service providers, local governments and state governments. The highest median earnings are in the Federal Executive Branch of the government and the United States Postal Service, where salaries of approximately $60,000 are the norm. Jobs in accounting, tax preparation, bookkeeping and payroll services, and management of companies and enterprises have median wages in the mid-$50,000s. Local and state government accounting positions have the lowest median salaries, which are still at below $50,000 (in the mid-$40,000s for state government jobs). So the accounting salary range does vary, but with the opportunity to move ahead and earn more money in metropolitan areas, there is clearly a good opportunity for a solid career in this industry. The current growth and need for accounting professionals makes this a wise professional choice indeed.
