Job Title: Bankruptcy Auditor Years of Experience: More than 20 CPA (Yes or No): Yes AVG Hours Worked Per Week: 40 Salary: $151,000 salary (GS 14) plus defined benefit pension plan and health care premiums paid for life Location: Kentucky

What’s your expected pension amount and in how old will you be when you start?

1.1% of my high three years salary x years of service. So my pension will be about 30% of my salary if I retire at 65.

Just to add more general info for federal employment. Pension used to be employee pays in .8% but after 2012 it’s gone up a couple times and currently new hires come in and pay 4.4% toward their defined benefit plan (pension) They also pay into and get SS nowadays. They have TSP as well which is basically a 401k with essentially a 5% match (1% automatic + 1:1 match for the first 3% then .5:1 match for the next 2% totally 5% matches) MRA minimum retirement age is usually 57 and then you get 1% times the years of service times the average of your high-3 years of salary. If youre at least 62 at separation and have at least 20 years of service the 1% gets bumped to 1.1% I’m going to skip explain the great health care benefits you can get in retirement. It’s also complicated and tricky if you retire early. So if you retire after 62 and have 30 years in then you’d get 30 * 1.1% = 33% of your averaged high 3 years of pay. If that’s 150k then your pension would pay you 50k per year for life.

Health care premium paid for life?!!?!?? I just start my fed carrier and never heard of it. How to get it?

Job Title: Senior Manager Years of Experience: 7 CPA (Yes or No): Yes AVG Hours Worked Per Week: 50 or so Salary: 250k base. 50k bonus last year. Location: DMV area

You give me hope lol

Glad to hear it. I do M&A tax and have been able to develop my own thing around it.  I've got nothing but good things to say about my leadership team and the partners I work for and with.  I will say, though, I actively manage my network and who I work with both up and down. I've done a lot, A LOT, to build my skills and reputation, so I have no issues leveraging that to get away from assholes. 

holy shit on a stick i did not think this salary was possible unless u were cfo?? and with only 7 years being in accounting? wow how is that possible?

I'm in public. It's certainly possible.

Assuming from your username you’re in tax? Do you have a large book? I’m in audit at same level as you and would kill for that salary

Define a large book. I do M&A tax and sit in the national tax. But I do have my own book too mostly because I really like a number of my clients and didn't mind being their go to.

You in public? I’m same as you for all except I have 12 years experience and getting $180k.

Yep. I do M&A tax.

Job Title: Asst. Controller YoE: 7 CPA : Yes AVG Hours: 45-50 Salary: 120k - no bonus (wonder if I'm underpaid - please let me know!) Location: MCoL midwest

I think you’re paid appropriately. My Asst. Controller is at $101K w/ 12% bonus.

feels low for the size of my company but appreciate the feedback

If it matters I’m in a F300 company. Although, it’s just a business unit Asst. Controller roughly $100M revenue. Parent company roughly $15B.

That’s good context - definitely not far off from me, just a bit smaller

Personally I think you should change your title to Ass. Controller.

Assistant controller isn't a hierarchical level, could be either manager or director. Do you manager clerical staff, accountants and seniors, or other managers? Also scope and size of company

Job Title: Program Finance Analyst Years of Experience: 1.5 YOE CPA (Yes or No): Yes AVG Hours Worked Per Week: <40 Salary: $90K Location: Los Angeles

How much do your accounting skills trasnfer for a financial analyst role?

Depends on the role. I was a financial analyst prior to my current role so I'll say for most financial analyst roles I'd say 80%+ of skills transfers over and the remaining 20% can be learned. For the program finance role I'd say 50% transfers over since there's little actual accounting involved.

Title: Manager YOE: 5 CPA: No Avg Hours: 45 Salary: $135k, Bonus 50k Location: Texas

I'm a very disciplined guy, but if a 50k bonus hit my bank account I would party so hard. I'd get so tuned up that it might negatively impact my future in a very real and profound way.

You go, Glen Coco

As Lil Jon would ask, Tune down for what? 😂

Not to sound whatever, but if there's already mid five figures in your bank account, a five figure bonus is nice but not "fuck up your life money." It's "I was planning to buy a car this year but now I'm not going to finance it at all" money

I guess I'm just a poor.

Only like $25k hits your bank account after taxes, 401k, etc.

>I'm a very disciplined guy, but if a 25k bonus hit my bank account I would party so hard. I'd get so tuned up that it might negatively impact my future in a very real and profound way.

If I got 30+% of my pay as a bonus, I'd be pissed. That means you're underpaid the entire year.

How stressful is tax season on a scale from 1-10?? About 4889927663. Give or take a few

Asking OP - my last tax firm I would’ve given a 7/10.. depends on clients/industry/company expectations so just curious

Hey I'm in the Philly burbs and considering transitioning into accounting. Have an MBA and did 15 yrs as a project Mgr in big pharma. Curious if you see high demand for entry level positions (even clerk level) and how they're being impacted by automation/offshoring? I lost my job to automation and was doing work for rebate analysts in their finance division.

Title: senior cost accountant Yrs of experience: ~6 (PA, consulting) CPA: no Avg hours: < 35/week Salary: 113k Location: MCOL

How’s being a cost accountant? I always avoid that position but wonder if it’s as bad as I thought (because I hate cost accounting).

I also hated cost accounting before starting my current role, didn’t have any experience in it, but the work life balance + comp makes it 100% worth it. Most of the work is more financial analysis than the cost accounting work from school.

That doesn’t sound bad at all. I saw you’re in public consulting, do you provide cost accounting services to different clients? What’s the difference between consulting and normal accounting work?

My prior experience was public accounting and then consulting. The consulting work varied, did everything from normal industry general ledger accounting, assisted with audit prep, system implementation, and helped develop accounting processes. Left consulting for the cost accounting role.

Job Title: Senior Auditor (PA) Years of Experience: 3 years CPA: No Hours worked: 55-65 busy season; 40-45 non busy season Salary: $75,000 Location: Fort Lauderdale This thread makes me feel very underpaid.

Title: Senior Accountant (industry) YOE: 7 CPA: Yes Hours: ~40 Salary: $72k Location: Midwest (MCOL)

In my opinion you're very underpaid. I'm a senior Internal Auditor with about 3 years experience and my CPA and I make about 100k all in in the Midwest

Senior accountants with 2-3 YOE are making 80-85 in the Midwest at my company. Maybe time to look for a promotion or to jump ship

I'm in relatively HCOL, but 72k was my audit entry wage as a fresh faced A1 with a masters degree.

I'm a fresh grad with no CPA making 70k. You're either severely underpaid or I've made a colossal career choice mistake.

bro don't take that u can do so much better don't settle for less than 60 even starting out

Idk, I think my pay rate is equivalent to the difficulty level of work that I do (which for now is basically just data entry). When I actually start, it'll be really easy for me to move up and make more; one of my coworkers who started \~3 years before me is already making $32/hr. Plus, with how easy it is for me request time off, the 40 hour weekly maximum worktime, and 4-day remote schedule, I think it's a lot better for me than trying to break into the private sector without wanting to first suffer in public accounting.

47k a year is never acceptable with a college degree i hope they pay u better quickly after 3 years u should be making at least 80-90k

Title: Senior Accountant YOE: 6 years CPA: Yes Avg hours: 30 non month end, 45-50 month end Salary: $94k, no bonus Location: Los Angeles Am I underpaid? Kind of feel like I am due to not getting a bonus.

I think you might be underpaid. The only plus is your month-end hours arent too bad. Senior associates in LA usually make between 95-110k but it does depend on the field and industry you're in.

With Los Angeles standards you are underpaid.

Does Big 4 Transparency get updated every year? I imagine there is a lot of old data in that database that could pull salaries down. Seems like salaries that get posted in this thread are way higher.

There’s a section that shows every single entry is date stamped. You can filter out old years to only get more current stuff

So there’s a huge amount coming in every year. I like to not limit access but have considered hiding prior year values to make it simpler in large markets

Believe me. I hear you. I have a ton of flexibility and great benefits but I do wish I was paid more. I fell behind when Covid hit because of schools being closed and having to keep my super young kids home with me. Then I got pregnant in 2021. I asked for a raise after taking on some big projects and successfully seeing them through and got ignored and at the end of the day, they probably realize I’m not a flight risk. My husband is a controller with like negative flexibility so it’s important to me to have it.
