US accountancy and finance 2025 salary guide

Accounting and finance 2025 salary guide

The finance recruitment market in the past three
years has gone through a turbulent time. If we say
2023 was a year of poor forecasting, 2024 has
been a year of recalibration. This equilibrium is a
welcome change.

Despite the lingering economic uncertainty, which
is a side effect from the global year of elections
and macro-economic trends, recruitment has
been strong and steady.

We have also seen a levelling out in candidate
expectations. Post-pandemic, the ability to
work from home was a deciding factor for many
professionals looking to change roles. In some
cases, more important than compensation packages.

Looking ahead, the outlook for accountancy hiring is
positive. 2024 has steadily gained momentum and
we expect this to continue throughout 2025. Whilst
some of the broad economic challenges remain
unresolved, there is still a deep sense of optimism
in the market.

Our report covers market insights and in-house tax salaries across the Northeast, Southeast, Southwest, Midwest and West Coast.
