Audit Friendly WEEKEND BRIEF · SUN OCT 18
The week in remote accounting
 
380 new remote roles · 325 employers · top end $330K · 56% disclose pay
380 new remote accounting roles came in this week from 325 employers - a market that stays broad even when the headline numbers look modest. Operational Accounting carried the largest share of volume at 154 postings, with Procurement and Tax filling out the next tier. The top of disclosed pay reached $330,000, though the median employer topped out at $110,000, which is the more honest picture of what most of this market looks like. CohnReznick was the most notable direct employer on the board, posting four roles including a Technical Accounting Senior Associate. One data point worth sitting with: advertised pay for Tax Accountant roles has moved -47.3% in six months - a shift that the annual salary guides are too slow to catch.
