It's really hard for me to believe the average salary for a CPA is 62k. Experienced staff salary at by 4 make that and it's a known fact we definitely under paid till partner compared to market...

That number is way too low. And i disagree kpmg1-I work with a small firm and I've always made more than my big 4 friends. It's impossible to find staff for smaller firms so it's a constant bidding game.

I'm including anyone under manager. Nonetheless that average is including all cpas of all ages. Let's say you work 30+ years span as a CPA, It's hard for me to see cpas with 10+ years making such a low salary to bring the average to 62k...

I will never believe that average CPA is making that low. They somehow excluded huge portion CPAs that are either self employed, or seasonal or partners in various firms. I guess is you look only at the salary employees with CPA u can get roughly 62k. But I still doubt it.

But seriously though.. we all know why we're here..

I'm thinking that CPAs should be really good at reducing their taxable income, if that's a factor...but yeah, still, it seems way low

Small as in 5-40 cpas in small cities and towns - they definitely make less than b4 because I worked at one. Once you get to above 50 CPAs I would agree with you about comparable pay

Disagree ^^im sure that's true in some places but in my market in the northeast it's a bloody war for staff. Virtually impossible to find any and they always start at higher than b4 like I did.

^mybe the staff start higher, but what about manager an above?

Colleague has put in his resignation. They are offering him whatever he wants to stay including 4days a week work from home. He’s not bluffing and plans to leave. However, at this same time I was asked to begin working as a supervisor for the engineering team and I would get a promotion at the beginning of the year. I have been supervising and managing our team of 6 for months with no extra pay or bonuses. I was told yesterday that raises will be light this year. Yet today they spare nothing.
