The Chartered Accountants Society of Leinster recently released their annual salary survey , which shows wages are increasing, hiring is up, and more accountants are getting promotions.

The average salary for a chartered accountant in the province is now €89,042, as opposed to €87,500 last year, and six out of ten members have been given a salary increase of up to 25% in the last three years.

For anyone considering a new career move in finance, the message from this report is that Chartered Accountancy remains the premium accountancy qualification in Ireland… Some 43% of the Leinster Society’s 23,000 members reported getting a recent promotion, which is an increase from last year.

The average starting salary for a newly-qualified chartered accountant is now €49,784, while a Head of Finance can expect to make in or around €136,318 in 2014. And with 93% of those surveyed saying they feel confident or very confident about their job security, basically things are, on average, going very well indeed for chartered accountants.
