The study found that demand for these roles is most acute in California, Texas, New York, Florida, Illinois, North Carolina, Ohio, and Georgia.
Sep. 23, 2022
According to a new report from Randstad USA, finance and accounting professionals remain in the driver’s seat of the labor market, with demand rising for roles like financial analysts and staff accountants. Other positions requiring similar skills that are especially in demand include accounting managers, controllers, and payroll coordinators/clerks.
Randstad’s 2023 Finance & Accounting Salary Guide found that demand for these roles is most acute in California, Texas, New York, Florida, Illinois, North Carolina, Ohio, and Georgia. Overall, there was a high regional variance between average salaries for finance and accounting professionals, which can be explained by variations in the cost of living and the fact that employers are offering higher salaries to attract workers back into the office in some markets. The report found that salaries are highest for finance and accounting professionals employed in San Francisco and Los Angeles (+64.8% and +57.6% above the national average, respectively) and lowest in Little Rock and Kansas City (-8.0% and -6.1% below the national average, respectively).
“Today’s labor market may be in flux, but we know that high-skilled professionals in specialized finance and accounting positions will always be in demand by companies in all industries, no matter the economic context,” said Dominic Levesque, President, Tatum and Randstad Office Professionals. “In a market like this, though, it is more important than ever for companies to leverage data in their decision-making processes and anchor their salary decisions in the overall market even as they consider other benefits to attract top talent.”
The 2023 Finance & Accounting Salary Guide supports executives and hiring managers by providing new, accurate data they need to make informed choices for this specialized industry in an uncertain economy. This new report digs deeper into the most pressing trends and concerns that the finance and accounting industries face today and in the future.
The guide also provides an in-depth analysis of the trends driving changes in compensation and benefits during this unprecedented labor environment. It underscores that finance and accounting skills – which help companies plan ahead and translate evolving markets – remain in demand and are generally recession-proof.
