Honestly CPA/ACCA is the highest you could get in accounting. That’s good enough. If you want more pay or a better title change jobs. Loyalty is gone and unless you’re on partner track and want to be a partner at a firm, no point in staying at one job. Jump ship and you’ll get a better title and pay

Try and get on jobs that will help you expand on your technical competence. Speak to your counselor around expectations for the next level and seek opportunities to start demonstrating those expectations. Also be true to yourself if you feel like they have no plans to promote you start looking elsewhere.
