Show me the money: what accounting salaries look like in Sydney

Описание: In Sydney’s accounting and finance market, salary expectations have shifted again – and both hiring managers and candidates are trying to work out what “fair” looks like. 💼📈

In this video, we unpack real salary data from over 680 permanent roles and 200 temp placements a year across transactional, part-qualified, mid-level and leadership roles in Sydney. You will see where salaries have genuinely moved, where they have plateaued, and which skills now command a premium.

From AP, AR, billings, payroll and bookkeeping through to assistant accountants, analysts, finance managers, FCs, FBP and CFO roles, this is a practical look at what “show me the money” actually means in the current Sydney market.

👉 Watch now to learn:
✅ The average 4.9% salary increase across Sydney accounting roles
✅ Which support and transactional roles (AP, AR, billings, payroll, bookkeeping) are hard to fill and why
✅ How part-qualified and mid-level roles are tracking, including assistant accountants and analysts
✅ The current base ranges for finance managers, FCs, FP&A managers and CFOs in Sydney
✅ Why payroll and billings are becoming “declining skill sets” and how that affects salary pressure
✅ What the temp market and hourly rates reveal about the true cost of available talent
✅ The leadership and technical skills most in demand, from Power BI to transformation experience
✅ How multi-generational teams, hybrid work and “the messy decade” shape expectations for finance leaders
