WEEKEND BRIEF · SUN SEP 13 |
The week in remote accounting
356 new remote roles · 292 employers · top end $400K · 60% disclose pay
Operational Accounting accounted for 140 of the 356 new remote roles this week - nearly two in five postings - with Tax (56) and Payroll (48) filling out the top three. All told, 292 employers posted, which means most hired for one or two seats, not a pipeline. Pay transparency held at 60% of new postings, a touch above the live-market rate of 57%. The data desk finding worth sitting with: advertised Tax Accountant pay has moved down 8.4% in six months - a shift the annual salary guides have not caught yet.
