How to read this guide
Bands are base salary
Figures are annual base salary ranges in $ thousands, split by company size. Most companies are somewhere in the middle — the Medium column is the one to anchor on.
Built from real postings
The guide is built from our November 2026 salary survey of live accounting and finance postings, cross-checked against national guide data. Posted ranges for anchor roles are shown under each market’s main table. Arizona — a new market — currently tracks our published Seattle guide and localizes as Arizona postings accumulate; its tab says so plainly.
It updates as we go
This is a living guide. As new market scans come in, bands are revised role by role and new markets are added as their sheets are produced.
