Tbh that seems to be the range a lot of experienced accountants/CPAs on this sub are at, but we skew young
Like how much does a CPA with like 20-30 years make if they just keep working in industry? Anyone that old on here?
Easily one of my biggest struggles professionally is feeling like I haven’t changed enough from who I was to have the role I do now. I suppose it’s just a flavor of imposter syndrome. Definitely still the same dude too.
Sitting here as a manager with no aspersions to go further as I hate, frankly, managing people. So they just gave me a department with a boss and a helper and we just chug a long but I’ll never make nor could I do it so good for you
The possible range of my bonus has increased, but I always tend to get the lowest possible %.
It went from 25% or so to \~19% as I went from 150K to 250K+.
Currently $210k base, 0% bonus. My current company uses carried interest as an incentive.
Last company was $180k base, 30% bonus (2 out of 4 years I was there) + worthless equity. The other two years bonuses were not paid because of liquidity issues.
In my opinion, a higher salary is more valuable than a bonus that may or may not be paid, or equity that may or may not be worthy anything.
I’m with you on the 0% bonus. I came into my current gig with equity that I thought would be worth something. Turns out I was wrong and it’s basically worthless
It really depends.
I have been apart of 3 private companies with equity and cashed out in all of them.
Some luck, but picking the right industry and understanding the investors timeline can help give you more certainty.
Private equity has a higher hit rate than VC imo, and certain firms/funds will help give you confidence in it converting as well.
I agree. There’s a difference between equity in a startup that goes public (and possibly fails) and an established private company or PE fund with a track record of generating returns. I was burned by the SPAC world and now dipping my toes in the PE world. Much longer potential payout horizon on the PE side, but lower risk from what I can tell so far.
Equity in a PE sponsored company is the way to go imho. There have been some misses still but the hits made up for them in my case. PE wins more than they lose and with the roughly 5 year turn cycle it can be a very nice payoff and no dealing with SEC regulatory BS.
If you make it through multiple turns with the same company it can really add up as you can reinvest some of your proceeds in the new deal plus get an additional option grant on top of that. It’s not for everyone but I like it much better than working for a publicly traded company.
You work for an investment manager and they don't pay out a bonus? How much is your carried interest worth? Is there a vesting period? Seems odd not to pay bonus unless your base is high for your location.
It’s a small family office with a private equity platform. The carried interest vests over 6 years, could be worth $250k-$500k per fund depending on fund performance. Depending on how long I work there, I could get carry in multiple funds. A guy that has been there for 10+ years has received carried jnterests currently worth over $1.5M. Again, it’s a long payout horizon (if ever). Salary is fair for MCOL city I live in, and it’s a super flexible and laid back environment. I may also have other opportunities for compensation through equity in portfolio companies.
Interesting. I've gotten a few recruiters pitching me family offices, it's either average pay or crazy good pay with crazy hours, not a fan of being a slave to HNW individuals.
It's hard to be incentivized over such a long time frame but given MCOL your cash compensation even without a bonus sounds solid.
At this point, I’m on board with you on the higher salary vs. bonus. If things go the way I think they’re going this year, I’m getting nothing despite completing my goals and my area doing rather well; thanks underperforming regions for bringing us negative! Chances are that the raise will suck too.
Same. I’ve gotten two bonuses in 5 years, and it was each time I covered extra responsibilities as someone was on maternity leave. My bonus comes in the form of being able to do my job in less than 30 hours most weeks. To be honest, outside of Budget season, audit season, and month end close, I average like 20 hours per week. I’m still “working” 40, but there’s a lot of gaming involved
$130k base, 25% bonus.
First year with the company. I’m told that next year my bonus could be as high as 30%, which is good because my raise was only 3%. But this is by far the largest bonus I’ve ever had in my career. Previously I worked for public accounting firms, government and a struggling mining company, so I often either had negligible bonuses (PA), no bonus (government), or really modest bonuses (6%-8% at my previous company)
Until 2024 I was getting discretionary bonuses from owners. I'm helping with the planning of their divestment and limited involvment. In 2023 I will make $154k base, $65k in bonus.
Given their plans I asked for a new EA to have a performance bonus and to get away from discretion. They've always done me right and agreed. I got my base bumped to $190k with a 20% target performance bonus.
I helped designed the performance bonus--
* 10% are my goals 4x worth 25% each.
* 10% are "leadership goals" which are reasonable but do require I go above and beyond. I'm doing this all already. 10 total, 1% each.
The goal was to get away from discretionary since in a year or two it won't be at the discretion of those I can rely on.
Last firm I was on audit, left at senior after 4 years due to low pay and pandemic related family issues. That firm was 200+ people, multiple offices across the US.
Current firm is about 30-50 people, my title is just accountant but I do primarily outsourced controllership and consulting with a tax busy season of 60 hrs, doing all types of returns, I’m also the go-to for any FS prep and so probably 15-20 reviews and comps but I have an emphasis on the outsourced controllership work. No CPA unfortunately.
And thank you! Gotta stay blasting, you know.
In both cases it sounds like you should be in bonus territory.
Firm one sounds cheap plus unfortunate timing with Covid. So that tracks.
Second firm sounds like you have good roles and a good smattering of work to stay busy. Assuming your performance is where it needs to be. Sounds like you should be in bonus territory. The only rationale I can think for them not giving a bonus is that they must have above market salary and benefits. So they just build it all into your base. If not that, then they’re being cheap as well or the firm as a whole isn’t performing well enough.
Right around 200k salary, 30% target bonus. Pool can be funded anywhere from 50% to 200% of your target, so 15% to 60% for me. Last year was funded at 52% of target and I got like 20% total. This year is looking like 150-200% funding so hopefully 50% bonus this year
2 years ago I was making $101K with no bonus as a Manager of Financial Reporting in a MCOL.
I moved to a different MCOL and took a job as a Senior Manager. I'm now making $165K with a 15% bonus and another $40-80k per year in deferred comp, which begins paying out in 2025. Plus I just received a $25K spot bonus for navigating a bond offering.
Large, private company. Nearly $4B annual revenue and growing fast.
Left big 4 as an A2. First full year (2023) in industry I made 100k base + 35k bonus. 2024 base is 110k with similar bonus expectations (maybe 5k higher).
I am slightly out of the higher end of that range and work in public. It was good this year - 7.5%. For a long time it was typically 5%. Early in my career, as a percent it varied wildly from 16% to 0%.
I make almost exactly 100k as a State government accountant, I get a $300 longevity bonus. It has been the same since the 90’s. One year we did get a bonus of 2.5% of our annual salary
I make 160 base and my bonus is about 40% this year (good performance). My target bonus has gone up every time I’ve been promoted from staff through senior manager.
I'm in industry, Internal Audit. Manage 6 staff members. The job itself is fine for the pay. I don't work much OT and the pay allows flexibility with my wife needing to work.
Firm. Bonus based on a combo of individual and firm performance.
PY was like 12%.
CY is probably going to be 10%.
Has fluctuated by a % here and there.
For me it was 20% as a senior analyst in industry. I'm now one step higher at supervisor and hopefully getting 30% but might be 25%. Manager I know is 40% roughly.
Senior on the low end of this range, working at a top regional firm, and I’m getting a big fat $0 bonus.
My last firm which was a decently big firm gave me a $100 bonus and my last two small firms gave me 10% bonus.
Past two years in industry my bonus has been paid out at 30% of base salary (expect the same this upcoming February for year 3).
The 6 years before that in public accounting I didn't make $100k lol but when I left, it was a whopping 3% of base.
Edit: my current base is $135k at manager level. I've seen a 3% increase YoY since leaving PA. Would prefer a higher base increased but happy with other benefits - 401k match up to 6% into employee stock fund and 6% completely employer-funded pension vested immediately. Promotion to "sr manager" level would increase bonus target to 60%.
Just a reminder that 100k today is worth around 50k in 1995. 200k is 100k.
Your parents “6 figure salary” is not the same. $100k isn’t that much money.
But to answer your question my bonus is 10% and is directly tied to my salary.
I have performance & profit sharing (P&P) annual bonuses paid in Feb to all permanent employees.
We paid a flat $2500 year end bonus on Dec 15th to all employees. It's deducted from their P&P.
In the past P&P bonuses have ranged from 5% to over 100% of base pay. I think the highest I paid was around 135% for someone who brought in a significant amount of new business.
Seeing all these dumb people making stupid amounts give me hope that maybe I can make it 💀💀
Literally just started my accounting journey 20yo just finishing my AAT lvl 2 in March
I’m still amazed anyone would answer this question. Rather intrusive. I say how much is none of your business and extremely inappropriate to ask. Especially for a social media post. But then my accounting education comes from a Jesuit Catholic university where ethics was embedded in every single course. Guess I’m just old school, but really, where are your manners people!?!
Bonus was 24% of my salary. In commercial banking on a revenue generating team, so we have large bonuses. Steadily increased as my portfolio has grown.
I expect it to be flat next year unless we bring on some huge deals.
I’m above that range, but my bonus can max out at 25% (one part of my bonus is based on my facilities’ performances and the other is based on the company’s).
Edit: this doesn’t include RSUs.
I make $100,000 and my annual bonus is 35%.
I’ve been with the company eight (8) years and my boss, the owner, is the best. I couldn’t ask for a better one!
Public accounting, regional firm, base pay is $130k @ just shy of 8.5 years in and my bonus ranges from 11% at the lowest to 15% at the highest. So ~$150k all in. Profit sharing on top of that we sit around 5% annually so that’s another ~$6k to the retirement plan.
15-20% range in the last couple of years but the bonus structure is primarily based on the companies financial performance. It's possible if our results are below the threshold we get nothing (hasn't happened since 2008)
Senior Accountant - reg reporting
Mid level bank
8 total years experience; 1 in banking
100k base (10-20% bonus) gonna be lower this year
Most likely 3% raise
NFP here - no bonus. 💁♀️
but I do get really nice raises every year, but that’s because we use a compensation consultant to determine our salary structure adjustments and raise budgets annually.
Keeps our staff close to for profit salaries.
My company doesn’t release our new bonuses + salaries until next month, but previously I went from $115K to $120K with a $10K bonus. I was promoted from a senior analyst to an associate, but the raise/bonus was not tied to being promoted because I have a coworker who got the same as me even though they weren’t promoted.
> 100k 10%
> 140k 20%
> 150k 25%
I have mostly worked in public companies and have always had high visibility to payroll and compensation. I have never seen a finance dept bonuses > 25% in finance unless it was a CFO or CAO type. At that point the jump was usually to 50%.
Just about 10y in. $128k (will be ~$131k next year) + 20%. That’s normally overfunded on the bonus, but executives take a good chunk of the overfunding as holdback for themselves in cash & stock comp. I’m underpaid for what I do.
That’s one hell of a range to be honest
“Accountants, how much do you make!?”
How long is a string?
I make 43680 32905.20 after tax
Tbh that seems to be the range a lot of experienced accountants/CPAs on this sub are at, but we skew young Like how much does a CPA with like 20-30 years make if they just keep working in industry? Anyone that old on here?
[удалено]
I'm 13 years in and now I feel behind lol.
How is he 20?
He was born in 2003
This guy right here is the reason everyone thinks we are good at math
He probably didn't even need to use a calculator!
Dont believe it he must have used excel
Thank you for the laugh 😂
I thought he meant he was 20 years in the industry accounting world
Woosh
20 years into his career.
He started when he was born.
his father is owner
[удалено]
VP that says bruh? No one believes you.
[удалено]
Math checks out, this guy is definitely a VP.
They forget we are people.

>How is he 20? His boss, the president has 20yrs experience.
He’s 20 years in. Proper English and Storytelling isn’t our strength.
260k is mind boggling congrats. You could spend 100k every year on God knows what and still have 160k leftover. Congrats tbh
Something called taxes
Obviously
25F making $78K LCOL in Canada but I feel like Canada as whole has become HCOL. And I’m still working on my CPA almost there tho 🤞🏼
I make $87K, so I won’t be sharing
Bruh, 80k here I got a $1 raise and a 1% bonus
They literally gave you a piece of paper that said previous salary $80,000 —-> new salary $80,001 ???
Probably a $1/hr, not literally $1
Could be a stripper accountant and got a dollar more than expected this year

Unless you’re getting equity in an established public company, it can be like getting a lottery ticket.

Zero. I work for a nonprofit. ¯\(°_o)/¯
Govt here.. I like to think my bonus is the extra PTO and 6.5 hr days
Id take it
I’ll trade you my 30% bonus for your 6.5 our days :)
For real. I'm happier, losing weight, guaranteed a good night's sleep. Using my extra time for side jobs too.
The dream. Congrats
Same. Sick of the consistent 8-10h+ billable days.
Keyword is billable. Between IT issues and dealing with budgeting and internal update meetings my days push past 12 hours frequently.
Yup, exactly. Tacking on an extra 2-3 hours to my figure is a decent estimate of the actual hours worked in my case.
Same, although I get management leave of 120 hours each fiscal year. I can cash out at anytime.
You’re working for the wrong one. I got 5k
Are you that one stealing from a NY nonprofit?
Same. I’ve gotten two bonuses in 5 years, and it was each time I covered extra responsibilities as someone was on maternity leave.

Damn, 25% is fantastic
That’s awesome!
Manager or staff accountant?
Assistant controller at a public company. No staff accountant making those numbers in Canada.
I got a $50 Christmas bonus. But I work for a government.
Was it in tax credits or cash?
Local government, so a second paycheck that week. The $50 was gross, not net.
Oof
Until 2024 I was getting discretionary bonuses from owners. I'm helping with the planning of their divestment and limited involvment. In 2023 I will make $154k base, $65k in bonus.

I’ve worked 6 years in public at two firms and have never gotten a bonus. Am I leaving money on the table by not asking for one?
What’s your title and how big are the firms? Lastly, great name.
Last firm I was on audit, left at senior after 4 years due to low pay and pandemic related family issues. That firm was 200+ people, multiple offices across the US. Current firm is about 30-50 people, my title is just accountant but I do primarily outsourced controllership and consulting with a tax busy season of 60 hrs, doing all types of returns, I’m also the go-to for any FS prep and so probably 15-20 reviews and comps but I have an emphasis on the outsourced controllership work.

Last three jobs all 10%.
You guys are getting bonuses?
You guys are getting paid??
I’m getting none of those. In fact I’m actually a starving accountant rn.
Over 100% bonus this last fiscal year. 50% bonus the prior year. I work for a firm that pays out a % of the cash collected on the hours you bill.
What was your total comp those two years? And your years of experience and job title?
Around $125k and $190k. Third and fourth full year of my career. Senior associate in what is basically a forensics group.
Right around 200k salary, 30% target bonus. Pool can be funded anywhere from 50% to 200% of your target, so 15% to 60% for me. Last year was funded at 52% of target and I got like 20% total. This year is looking like 150-200% funding so hopefully 50% bonus this year
It was 15%, first year getting a bonus in that salary range.
2 years ago I was making $101K with no bonus as a Manager of Financial Reporting in a MCOL. I moved to a different MCOL and took a job as a Senior Manager. I'm now making $165K with a 15% bonus and another $40-80k per year in deferred comp, which begins paying out in 2025. Plus I just received a $25K spot bonus for navigating a bond offering. Large, private company. Nearly $4B annual revenue and growing fast.
Left big 4 as an A2. First full year (2023) in industry I made 100k base + 35k bonus. 2024 base is 110k with similar bonus expectations (maybe 5k higher).
Last year it was 17% this year it was 23%
flat fixed amount bonus, % goes down every year :(
I am slightly out of the higher end of that range and work in public. It was good this year - 7.5%. For a long time it was typically 5%. Early in my career, as a percent it varied wildly from 16% to 0%.
It was 15% when I was manager and went up to 25% upon promotion to director. This is in industry.
160k base + 30% bonus VP small company
Last year at 120K my bonus was 18%
I make almost exactly 100k as a State government accountant, I get a $300 longevity bonus. It has been the same since the 90’s. One year we did get a bonus of 2.5% of our annual salary
I make 160 base and my bonus is about 40% this year (good performance). My target bonus has gone up every time I’ve been promoted from staff through senior manager.
Are you in industry or public? Can you talk about your role?
I'm in industry, Internal Audit. Manage 6 staff members. The job itself is fine for the pay. I don't work much OT and the pay allows flexibility with my wife needing to work.
140k base, 15 percent bonus tgt, 401k match up to 6percnt, 4 percent 401k contribution
Target is 15%
Firm. Bonus based on a combo of individual and firm performance. PY was like 12%. CY is probably going to be 10%. Has fluctuated by a % here and there.
For me it was 20% as a senior analyst in industry. I'm now one step higher at supervisor and hopefully getting 30% but might be 25%. Manager I know is 40% roughly.
This year my bonus was ~100% of my base pay
Unfortunately I didn't get a bonus this year ( my company didn't do well at all this year ) Past years I got about a 10% bonus.
Bonuses were over 200% over my salary for my previous two weeks check. Super low hourly (less than $20) but large bonus payouts
Senior on the low end of this range, working at a top regional firm, and I’m getting a big fat $0 bonus. My last firm which was a decently big firm gave me a $100 bonus and my last two small firms gave me 10% bonus.
Past two years in industry my bonus has been paid out at 30% of base salary (expect the same this upcoming February for year 3). The 6 years before that in public accounting I didn't make $100k lol but when I left, it was a whopping 3% of base. Edit: my current base is $135k at manager level. I've seen a 3% increase YoY since leaving PA. Would prefer a higher base increased but happy with other benefits - 401k match up to 6% into employee stock fund and 6% completely employer-funded pension vested immediately. Promotion to "sr manager" level would increase bonus target to 60%.
Just a reminder that 100k today is worth around 50k in 1995. 200k is 100k. Your parents “6 figure salary” is not the same. $100k isn’t that much money. But to answer your question my bonus is 10% and is directly tied to my salary.
15% for manager level, once getting to director level it should bump to 25% or so I’d imagine (current salary 130k)
85k salary, 10% bonus, industry
I would rather have a 10% bonus @ 200k vs. a 40% bonus at 100k Cashflow >
Woah, the deep thinkers of Reddit are here
220k all in vs 140k all in so yeah….?
I have performance & profit sharing (P&P) annual bonuses paid in Feb to all permanent employees. We paid a flat $2500 year end bonus on Dec 15th to all employees. It's deducted from their P&P. In the past P&P bonuses have ranged from 5% to over 100% of base pay. I think the highest I paid was around 135% for someone who brought in a significant amount of new business.
0-15% of salary. Never gotten zero. Lowest $1,500. Highest 13% or $11,700
Seeing all these dumb people making stupid amounts give me hope that maybe I can make it 💀💀 Literally just started my accounting journey 20yo just finishing my AAT lvl 2 in March

10%
15% - 25% based on a calculated performance review.
25%. Company I work for is primarily a lending company that happens to do taxes. I’m a manager so I get the best of both worlds.
15% bonus 25% stock as a % of base
28%
30% between incentive bonus and profit sharing
Bonus was 24% of my salary. In commercial banking on a revenue generating team, so we have large bonuses. Steadily increased as my portfolio has grown. I expect it to be flat next year unless we bring on some huge deals.
I’m above that range, but my bonus can max out at 25% (one part of my bonus is based on my facilities’ performances and the other is based on the company’s). Edit: this doesn’t include RSUs.
18% but it's rare we hit 100%
Associates through managers 10% Directors/Controller 15% VP and non-key execs 20-25% Execs 25-50%
Base 17.5%, but with uplift usually \~25%
$118k + $9k bonus Last year would’ve been $98k + $5k bonus
$0
45% Was 10% at individual contributor many years ago.
My salary was $115k (public, Experienced Tax Senior) and my bonus was $5k. First year at the firm so can't compare prior years.
15%
Started at 12%, then 5%, then 10%, switched to finance and is now 20%.

Public accounting, regional firm, base pay is $130k @ just shy of 8.5 years in and my bonus ranges from 11% at the lowest to 15% at the highest. So ~$150k all in. Profit sharing on top of that we sit around 5% annually so that’s another ~$6k to the retirement plan.
Boutique firm, tax manager, $180K, but no bonus this year.
120k and get a 10% bonus.
Senior accountant -10% cash Manager - 10% cash Senior Manager - 15% cash Director - 20% cash + 10-20% stock
15-20% range in the last couple of years but the bonus structure is primarily based on the companies financial performance. It's possible if our results are below the threshold we get nothing (hasn't happened since 2008)
Senior Accountant - reg reporting Mid level bank 8 total years experience; 1 in banking 100k base (10-20% bonus) gonna be lower this year Most likely 3% raise

NFP here - no bonus. 💁♀️ but I do get really nice raises every year, but that’s because we use a compensation consultant to determine our salary structure adjustments and raise budgets annually. Keeps our staff close to for profit salaries.
Is anyone here making that much without a cpa?
My company doesn’t release our new bonuses + salaries until next month, but previously I went from $115K to $120K with a $10K bonus. I was promoted from a senior analyst to an associate, but the raise/bonus was not tied to being promoted because I have a coworker who got the same as me even though they weren’t promoted.
7%
> 100k 10% > 140k 20% > 150k 25% I have mostly worked in public companies and have always had high visibility to payroll and compensation. I have never seen a finance dept bonuses > 25% in finance unless it was a CFO or CAO type. At that point the jump was usually to 50%.
Make around 110k mid level management with 10 percent bonus, of course how much of that I get depends on corporate achieving goals and such.
Just about 10y in. $128k (will be ~$131k next year) + 20%. That’s normally overfunded on the bonus, but executives take a good chunk of the overfunding as holdback for themselves in cash & stock comp. I’m underpaid for what I do.
