WEEKEND BRIEF · SUN SEP 27 |
The week in remote accounting
363 new remote roles · 294 employers · top end $312K · 67% disclose pay
363 new remote accounting and finance roles from 294 employers landed this week - a spread wide enough that no single category ran away with it, but Operational Accounting claimed nearly half the volume at 148 postings. Procurement came in second at 51, followed closely by Tax at 48, a category worth watching given the consolidation playing out at the top of that market right now. Pay disclosure stayed at 67% of new postings, with a top end of $312,000 and a median top-end of $96,000; the two numbers together are a useful reminder that the ceiling and the middle of this market are very far apart. Against a live market of 4,902 US remote A&F roles across 2,595 employers, this week's intake was solid without being exceptional.
