It sounds like you have a solid background in Accounting with 8 years of experience! Pay can vary widely depending on several factors such as location, company size, and industry. In corporate Accounting, especially with your level of experience, a salary of $120,000 with bonuses is generally considered competitive in many markets.
In areas with a higher cost of living, such as big cities, many Accounting professionals at your level might see salaries ranging from $110,000 to $150,000 or more, especially at larger firms or in specialized industries. On the other hand, smaller companies or regions with a lower cost of living might offer salaries on the lower end.
It might also be worth considering the benefits package, work-life balance, and opportunities for career development, as these aspects can significantly influence overall job satisfaction.
If you’re interested in getting a better sense of where you stand, consider reaching out to peers or utilizing online salary comparison tools tailored to your industry and region. Networking with other CPAs in your field can also provide valuable insights.
