WEEKEND BRIEF · SUN NOV 1 |
The week in remote accounting
77 new remote roles · 63 employers · top end $273K · 43% disclose pay
Seventy-seven new remote accounting roles from 63 employers this week - a reasonably active week by recent standards, spread across a wider-than-usual field of posting companies. Operational Accounting led with 22 roles, but Tax (14) and External Audit (13) kept pace closely enough that no single category ran away with the week. The top of the pay range reached $272,520, though half of disclosed ranges topped out at $130,000 or below. Only 43% of this week's postings disclosed pay at all - worth noting against the broader US live market, where 60% of the 2,678 active remote accounting roles show compensation. SGS, BPM LLP, and ServiceNow each posted multiple roles; the employer list skewed toward firms with specific near-term hiring mandates rather than broad seasonal intake.
