WEEKEND BRIEF · SUN OCT 25 |
The week in remote accounting
66 new remote roles · 61 employers · top end $200K · 42% disclose pay
Sixty-six new remote accounting roles from 61 employers is a solid week - not a flood, but broad enough that no single category dominated in a lopsided way. Operational Accounting led with 20 postings, followed by Payroll at 10 and Tax at 9. Only 42% of this week's new roles disclosed pay, well below the 59% rate in the live US market, which suggests the week's batch skewed toward larger or more conservative employers. Wealth Enhancement Group was the most active named employer with three postings, which tracks: the firm has been absorbing acquisitions at pace all year and the back-office headcount is following. One data point worth noting - Power BI is the fastest-growing tool in accounting job descriptions, up 0.19 points of share in a quarter, so mentioning it in applications is no longer padding.
