Part And Newly Qualified Accountants Able To Command Higher Salaries

Thu, 08 Nov 2007

Part qualified accountants in the UK receive much higher-than-expected salaries, according to the latest accountant salary poll .

The latest survey by internet jobs board justaccountancyjobs.com revealed nearly one-third of part qualified accountants are earning an income between £22,000 - £24,000 in their first job, compared with almost 90 per cent expecting to be offered less than £22,000.

Part qualified accountants have been put into a powerful negotiating position due to strong demand for accountancy candidates in the financial industry - a majority of 61 per cent were able to raise their original salary offer .

However, newly qualified accountants fared even better, with 67 per cent managing to negotiate a better deal, compared to the 29 per cent who could not.

Speaking to Accountancy Magazine, Richard Perrott, chief consultant at justaccountancyjobs.com, commented: "The best accountancy candidates are in hot demand and many have more negotiating power than they think."

"Part-and newly qualified accountants with the right skill sets are capable of commanding much better packages than they realise."
