Accountancy and finance job site GAAPweb has launched its 2024 Salary Survey to uncover the latest trends in pay, bonuses and hybrid working.
The site’s confidential survey aims to uncover the current trends, challenges and changes in financial recruitment. It’s aimed at accountants, finance managers, CFOs, and other finance professionals at all levels of experience, across all sectors.
GAAPweb – also owned by BusinessLive parent Reach plc – says the results will “help us define industry standards by showing employers and recruiters what sort of environment you want to work in.”
In its February 2023 survey GAAPweb heard from more than 1,300 finance and accountancy professionals. Some 60% of those polled had received a pay rise, while 51% had received a bonus.
