Partner to Junior Accountant Salaries
The Lawson Delaney Accounting Firm Salary Guide 2024 provides data by seniority, as well as key insights and our predictions for FY24/25. We have created this report to help firms make informed decisions around Accountant salaries and what to expect for the future.
As we look back on the 2023/24 financial year, several key themes emerge: competition, increased workload and the growing importance of technical accounting skills. This report aims to provide insight into these trends and their implications.
Our key takeaways for Accounting firms this year are:
- Employee engagement is waning, burnout, fatigue and absenteeism are a real issue. Have you considered culture related surveys to understand how your team think and feel?
- Feeling valued and concrete career development will always be the biggest driver for the stars of tomorrow, however competitive salaries will get top talent through the door.
- It is worth remembering that the best candidates can get salaries at the top of the range for their level, somewhere. If you pay the middle of the range, and want the best candidates, there needs to be other attractions of choosing you over your competition.
