LETTER FROM

THE CEO

Dear Colleagues,

Century Group has provided compensation

information directly to our clients, candidates

and professional associations for more than

25 years. For the past two years, we have

shared this information more broadly by

publishing Century Group’s Compensation

Report for Financial Professions – a

comprehensive resource with the latest

data on salaries, bonus compensation

and the differences between markets

to the entire profession.

This has been an interesting time to

research salary details. After producing our

Compensation Report in 2014, salaries went

through a period of growth to catch up with

the economy, following the big post-recession

recovery. This year, we are seeing more

consistent numbers – more indicative of

steady economic conditions – with an

average variance of 2.3 percent.

Even with economic improvement over the

last several years, our research continues to

show that numerous variables remain more

important than compensation when it comes

to career selection. We had previously seen

that growth / opportunity and company culture

went head-to-head as the first and second

factors ahead of compensation. This year,

the opportunity for challenge and growth has

edged ahead as the top priority in today’s

career landscape (see page 15).

When asked about compensation, I share

the following: Most opportunities pay within

a few percentage points of one another, so

don’t use pay as the sole or even top criteria.

The best careers are built on factors such as

learning, opportunity, responsibility, visibility,

mentors, great management and quality

companies. Weigh these factors as heavily

as compensation and you’ll enjoy greater

success and greater job satisfaction. Investing

in experience will pay greater dividends

throughout your career.

We hope you find the latest edition of Century

Group’s Compensation Report for Financial

Professions useful in salary decisions. We also

invite you to view the details about current

career opportunities, networking events and

career research at century-group.com. We

look forward to working together.

Sincerely,

Ron Proul

Chief Executive Officer

Century Group

Even with economic improvement

over the last several years, our

research continues to show that

numerous variables remain more

important than compensation

when it comes to career selection.

Accounting and finance departments are

organized in pyramids; this pyramid serves as

the framework for compensating individuals by

title and size of company. Our report includes

the salary ranges for 34 core accounting, finance,

tax and audit positions – from professional level

to senior executive – covering the 25th to 75th

percentile, based on company size.

Along with the salaries, you will find other

data in this guide to help you evaluate current

and prospective opportunities, including why

individuals choose opportunities, and the

bonuses and benefits companies are currently

providing. Other qualitative considerations,

such as service time, work ethic, qualifications,

skills and the quality of employers, will impact

individual compensation decisions, as will other

factors not included in this report, such as

years of experience, size of the organization

and complexity of the work.

We’ve provided a separate section covering

cash bonus compensation for various

professional levels in the accounting and

finance function. Other forms of compensation –

stock options, benefits and retirement programs –

are not considered in this report.

USING THE

REPORT

Our report was compiled

using data collected from

our constituents and other

data sources available to

our wage and compensation

analyst. Our methodology

thereby gives the most

current evaluation of the

data available.

OUR REPORT WAS

DEVELOPED BY

Tapping the depth of industry knowledge of

our team of Executive Recruiters and Interim

Staffing professionals who are experts

in accounting and finance, and who’ve

executed nearly 20,000 recruiting and

interim assignments over the last decade

Century Group’s analysis of workplace

trends and hiring forecasts

Proprietary research and surveys of

CFOs and accounting, finance, tax and

audit professionals and executives from

HIGH-DEMAND

PROFESSIONALS & QUALIFICATIONS

Since 2010, we’ve witnessed

a significant increase in

the hiring of professional-

level and management-level

employees across multiple

disciplines in accounting,

finance, tax and audit.

HIGH-DEMAND ROLES

IN ACCOUNTING & FINANCE

We see these trends in our daily work with

clients as they seek in-demand qualified

professionals for their teams to execute

growth strategies and take advantage of new

opportunities. We also continue to see a

demand for advanced degrees and credentials,

as well as Big 4 and Fortune 500 experience.

The surge in hiring for professionals

continues to drive down the unemployment

rate nationwide. The 2015 unemployment

rate for college graduates continued to

decline to 2.5%, down from 2.9% in 2014.

This represents a nearly 14% decline in

unemployment for college graduates in

12 months. According to some economists,

we’ve essentially reached full-employment

for those with college degrees and, in

some regions, for those with in-demand

advanced credentials – CPAs and MBAs –

unemployment is estimated at 2.1%.ACCOUNTANTS

We are seeing the highest demand for

accountants at the senior level. Demand is

especially high for professionals with a CPA

license and 2+ years of experience.

CONTROLLERS AND

ACCOUNTING MANAGERS

These continue to be the crucial roles for

expanding companies. The increase in scrutiny

and compliance requirements make these key

management roles.

AUDITORS

Demand for internal auditors remains strong

in private industry as companies deal with

increased regulatory and compliance

requirements. The demand for auditors at CPA

firms has expanded dramatically as these firms

respond to increased client activity. The CPA

designation remains the most in-demand in the

audit profession.

Page 7: 2016 Compensation Report for Financial ProfessionsReport for Financial Professions – a comprehensive resource with the latest data on salaries, bonus compensation and the differences

10 11

FINANCIAL ANALYSTS

As with the other roles on this list, the demand for

senior financial analysts is greater than the supply

at present. The most in-demand position is the

Senior Financial Analyst with an MBA and 5+

years experience in private industry or leading

management consultancies.

FINANCE MANAGEMENT

As the economy has improved, we’ve noted an

increase in demand for financial management.

Emerging and growing companies are seeking

experienced managers to build out the finance

function and develop the corporate infrastructure.

HIGH-DEMAND

CREDENTIALS

CPA

We are seeing particularly high demand for

accounting professionals that are also Certified

Public Accountants (CPAs). Achieving a CPA

credential is critical for career advancement in

the accounting, finance, tax and audit functions.

The CPA designation is the most frequently required

credential. CPAs with Big 4 accounting firm experience

are seeing even higher demand.

MBA

A master’s degree in business administration (MBA)

continues to be the credential most sought after for

senior-level executive and mid-management roles

in corporate finance.

TOP REASONS FOR

CHOOSING A NEW POSITION

The hiring environment

for accounting and finance

professionals has continued

to improve over the past

few years, and this change

is no longer a surprise

to most companies.

The general public is largely unaware

of the talent shortage facing certain

professions. The national unemployment

rate fell below 5.0% at the beginning of

2016, and as noted earlier, the national

unemployment rate for college graduates

stood at 2.5% at the end of 2015.

The low unemployment rate for accounting

and finance professionals has left companies

struggling to find the right talent with the

credentials and experience to meet the

challenges of an expanding economy.

Companies often turn to us for insights on

how top talent makes career decisions.

As companies compete for highly sought

after accounting and finance talent, they are

revisiting how they attract key professionals

(see page 15).

As in previous reports, compensation came in

third, which is not surprising. Growth / Challenge /

Role is largely the number one priority in today’s

economy, followed by Culture / Fit. More and

more, candidates must consider competitive

offers, and we continue to see that they will

make decisions based on these factors.

That said, top professionals often have multiple

offers providing growth and challenge, where they

fit with the culture and management. Competitive

compensation still remains a powerful tool for

attracting and rewarding top performers.

Page 9: 2016 Compensation Report for Financial ProfessionsReport for Financial Professions – a comprehensive resource with the latest data on salaries, bonus compensation and the differences

In addition to offering competitive compensation,

the most effective tools for attracting top

accounting and finance talent are:

Promotion opportunities and clearly

defined career paths

Continuing professional development

and training

Performance bonuses

Flexible schedules

Location / commute

Not only are these tools effective in attracting top

talent, they also help companies guard against

the departure of high performers.

TOP REASONS FOR

CHOOSING A NEW POSITION

accounting and finance professionals give for

BONUS

REPORT

Bonuses have become an

increasing part of the

overall compensation offer.

Positioned as incentives

for performance, they also

include other factors such

as company performance,

individual performance and

overall market conditions.

In our independent research, we noted that:

PERCENT

76

of the companies surveyed had a bonus

compensation program

PERCENT

80

of those surveyed at these companies were

awarded bonuses

PERCENT

68

of the bonus target was awarded on average

Our research shows that bonus compensation

is currently the second most common form of

non-salary compensation, behind only Medical,

Dental, Life and Vision Insurance.

Once again, company size played a significant

role in bonus structures, as the more aggressive

bonus rates were used by mid-market companies

to beat out Fortune 1000 companies in the

competition for top talent.

CENTURY GROUP:

IDENTIFY. EVALUATE. DELIVER.TM

Century Group connects top

tier finance and accounting

professionals to the

companies that need them.

directors or marketing VPs

or CIOs. Just finance and

accounting, professional to

executive level, on a project,

interim or direct placement

basis. It’s what we know.

And what we’re known for.

Our clients are leading private and public

organizations – ranging from start-up to

emerging mid-market to global Fortune

1000 enterprises.

evaluate and deliver professional and executive

talent that no one else can. Over the years, we

have developed extensive functional and industry

expertise and an unrivaled external network.

EXECUTIVE SEARCH

& PROFESSIONAL RECRUITMENT

Unlike other recruitment firms, we don’t

specialize in finance and accounting.

We’re experts in it. So we have an intimate

understanding of the level of insight, expertise

and finely honed talent companies need to

mitigate risk, boost performance and drive

growth. We’ve been developing relationships

with candidates who bring precisely that

for more than 25 years. With our dedicated

focus and insider access to prime candidates,

Century Group delivers the best of the best.

More swiftly and surely than the rest.

new project demands more expertise than you

have in-house, our senior-level professionals

are ready and able to bridge the gap. Using

our proven executive search methodology,

we’ve hired some of the field’s leading talent

as our own. Their sophisticated skill sets and

seasoned business acumen make these Big 4
