Introducing Your Trusted Source for Accounting Salary Insights: Big 4 Transparency
Hello, everyone! As we navigate this busy season, many of us are curious about how our hard work translates into compensation. I wanted to share a valuable resource with you: Big4transparency.com. This platform features an anonymous, crowdsourced database boasting over 18,500 entries on Accounting salaries, making it an excellent tool for answering your compensation questions.
To maximize your experience, try filtering for recent salary data, selecting your specific area (tax, Audit, consulting, etc.), and refining your search by city, state, or cost of living category (ranging from low to very high).
The data is updated quarterly to ensure consistency in spelling, categorize cost of living, and weed out any outlier or unreliable entries. While the salary megathreads during compensation season are great for discussions about raises, this resource is perfect for addressing specific inquiries regarding your current pay or potential salary increases.
The best part? This resource is completely free! If you’re willing, consider giving back by making an anonymous salary submission to help fellow accountants seeking similar insights. After you submit, you’ll be directed to a page with a link to the spreadsheet and, until the end of April, you can complete an entry for a chance to win a $100 pizza party (or cash equivalent) as a token of appreciation.
Access the spreadsheet directly here: Google Spreadsheet Link. Happy researching!

Thanks for sharing this valuable resource! It’s great to see initiatives like Big4Transparency that empower professionals to make informed decisions about their careers. Salary transparency is key in our industry, especially during busy season when many of us are putting in long hours and evaluating whether the compensation reflects the effort.
The filtering options you mentioned are incredibly helpful for tailoring the information to individual circumstances. I’ll definitely consider submitting my own data to help others in the community, and the additional incentive of a pizza party is a fun bonus!
I encourage everyone to check it out and contribute if you can—every bit helps in building a transparent resource for all accountants. Thanks again for bringing this to our attention!
