3 From the Chairman Dear colleague: Offering competitive compensation is crucial for both attracting top talent to your organization and encouraging your best people to stay. And periodically benchmarking your salaries is key to ensuring you remain on the mark. To assist our clients with this effort, Robert Half has published a Salary Guide every year since 1950 with the latest information on starting salaries and hiring, retention and staff management trends. We are pleased to present our 2014 Salary Guide, which includes compensation projections for a comprehensive set of positions in the accounting and finance fields, based on our research and experience. I hope you find the guide helpful as you continue building a workforce capable of meeting your most important business priorities. For additional compensation and staffing insights, please visit our Salary Center at roberthalf.com/salary-center. Sincerely, Max Messmer Chairman and CEO 1

4 Understanding the Salary Guide The 2014 Salary Guide from Robert Half is the most comprehensive and authoritative resource on starting compensation and hiring trends in the accounting and finance fields. Included are salary ranges for more than 350 positions in corporate and public accounting, finance, banking, and financial services. The figures contained in the guide are based on the thousands of full-time, interim and project placements made each year by our staffing and recruiting professionals. Our experts work with hiring managers and job seekers every day, which gives them unique insight into compensation trends. The salary range listed for each position reflects starting pay only. Bonuses and other forms of compensation, such as retirement packages, are not taken into account. In addition, the ranges represent national averages. You can adjust them for your market by using the local variances found immediately after the salary tables. Information from the Salary Guide is so well-regarded that the U.S. Department of Labor s Bureau of Labor Statistics has used it when compiling the Occupational Outlook Handbook.

5 The Hiring Environment The market for experienced accounting and finance professionals has tightened dramatically in many areas. Hiring managers often are operating under the misperception there is a large, highly qualified candidate pool to draw from. Though general unemployment levels remain high, unemployment rates for a number of accounting and finance occupations are below the national average. Degreed financial professionals with specialized skills frequently receive multiple offers and counteroffers. Top performers are feeling more confident about their professional prospects, and companies are growing more concerned about both recruiting and retaining highly skilled individuals. Employers may lose out if they wait too long to make an offer once they identify a strong candidate. Another significant trend is the steady demand for interim professionals. Many companies, realizing they need additional staff but concerned about finding suitable hires in a timely manner, are turning to temporary and project workers. Interim professionals allow businesses to relieve overworked core staff, and they can be evaluated for possible hire. In addition, companies are working with project consultants to manage complex initiatives, such as finance transformations and systems upgrades, from beginning to end. CFOs were asked, How beneficial do you consider the following uses of temporary professionals? Their responses: To fill in during employee absences 76% To access specialized skills on an as-needed basis 72% To maintain productivity when not ready to hire full time 72% To evaluate prospective full-time employees firsthand 64% To alleviate the workloads of full-time staff 62% Somewhat beneficial Very beneficial Source: Robert Half survey of more than 450 CFOs from U.S. companies that have 20 or more employees and use temporary professionals. Only CFOs who rated items somewhat beneficial or very beneficial are shown. 3

6 The Hiring Environment A long-anticipated upturn in baby-boomer retirements also is likely to have an impact on hiring patterns in the years to come as firms look to replace these experienced workers. Companies will need to prepare now for upcoming retirements, such as by stepping up succession-planning efforts and offering a more gradual path to retirement for employees who desire one. Retention Worries Reappear Concerns about morale and retention are rising. Employees may feel modest salary gains in recent years have not kept pace with the increased value of their responsibilities. In addition, as workloads have expanded, many workers are expressing the desire for greater work/life balance. Voluntary turnover is starting to rise, and some of those who are changing jobs are receiving sizable salary increases. To attract and retain top performers, employers need to not only offer new hires and current employees competitive compensation but also present them with possible career paths within the organization. Other attractive enticements include bonuses, paid expenses for continuing professional education, relocation assistance, additional time off, flexible work options and community involvement. CFOs were asked, Which one of the following is your greatest staffing concern in the next 12 months? Their responses: Maintaining staff productivity Recruiting new top performers 27% 38% 13% 13% 9% Retaining valuable staff members Don t know/no answer Improving staff morale and engagement Source: Robert Half survey of more than 2,100 CFOs in more than 20 of the largest U.S. markets 4

7 The Hiring Environment Where the Jobs Are Some employers are engaged in catch-up hiring after years of staffing freezes and cutbacks. In particular, they re seeking to add team members in core senior and managerial accounting roles. Experienced professionals with analytical skills are key to their plans. Financial, business and business systems analysts are all in strong demand, even more so than in recent years. Firms are relying on these professionals for guidance as they seek to upgrade and expand their operations. The market for entry-level accounting professionals also has strengthened. Degreed candidates, even those in the earliest stages of their careers, are sought in public accounting and private industry. Positions in Demand u Anti-money laundering (AML) specialists u Bookkeepers u Business analysts u Business systems analysts u Financial analysts u Internal auditors u Payroll clerks u Risk and compliance professionals u Senior accountants u Staff accountants In-Demand Credentials and Skills When presented with the choice, employers are giving preference and higher salaries to professionals who have obtained a specialized credential. The certified public accountant (CPA) remains the most sought-after designation, and a master s degree in business administration (MBA) is commonly preferred for senior-level corporate accounting and finance positions. 5

8 The Hiring Environment Other valued certifications include the certified information systems auditor (CISA), certified internal auditor (CIA), certified management accountant (CMA), chartered financial analyst (CFA), chartered global management accountant (CGMA) and project management professional (PMP). Expanding companies looking to hire payroll professionals are increasingly seeking those with credentials such as the certified payroll professional (CPP) and fundamental payroll certification (FPC). As accounting and finance professionals continue to expand their responsibilities well beyond crunching numbers, they are informing key decisions and serving as business partners across multiple departments. Companies have access to unprecedented amounts of data and are turning to their finance teams to analyze it and provide the story behind the numbers. Financial professionals are using the information to provide strategic recommendations throughout the organization, from identifying ways to manage costs and grow profits to assisting with human resources and operations decisions. As they collaborate more frequently across the business, there is a greater demand for professionals who possess excellent soft skills, especially verbal and written communication abilities. Firms also seek staff with strong business acumen and the ability to apply a broader view of the organization. Once considered nice-to-haves, these nontechnical skills are now indispensable elements of successful finance teams and functions. Technology Experience Needed Throughout the Finance Function Building accounting and finance teams with strong technology skills is essential as companies migrate to more sophisticated systems and analytical tools. Candidates with knowledge of large enterprise resource planning systems are always in demand. Analyst and financial reporting roles frequently require aptitude with software packages such as Hyperion and Cognos, as well. Advanced Excel skills are needed for many positions, and proficiency with QuickBooks and Microsoft Dynamics GP remains important for positions with small and midsize firms. Financial professionals also must be familiar with emerging technologies and how they can leverage them. For example, some companies are now using Software as a Service (SaaS) as their primary financial system, and more businesses are working with cloud-computing solutions to store and retrieve financial data, such as budgets. In addition, accounting and finance staff need to be able to collaborate effectively with their information technology (IT) colleagues on issues such as mitigating risks around data, privacy and security breaches. Senior-level financial employees also are contributing to project teams focused on IT processes and investments. Where once these decisions rested solely with the technology department, finance specialists are now weighing in on the financial and operational aspects of IT initiatives. 6

9 The Hiring Environment Public Accounting Overview The hiring dip during and immediately following the recession has led to a shortage of talent at the senior and managerial levels at public accounting firms. Businesses seek candidates with at least three years of experience to move into these higher-level roles. The enhanced focus on hiring experienced workers also is driven by a greater emphasis on succession planning as firms realize their most tenured employees are closer to retirement. Firms are adding professionals in their core audit and tax businesses. Those with expertise in high-demand industries, such as insurance and real estate, are sought as well. Public accounting firms are again focusing heavily on campus recruiting and hiring accounting graduates. Big Four firms are increasingly targeting top students in their sophomore year, having found the most promising candidates commonly have accepted job offers by their junior year. Firms are improving compensation in an effort to better compete with private industry to recruit and retain accounting talent. Signing bonuses have become more common as a result, and top performers are seeing meaningful raises from firms trying hard to retain their best people. 7

10 The Hiring Environment Financial Services Trends Improving economic conditions, along with continued regulatory demands, are prompting businesses to pursue professionals with expertise in risk management, compliance and regulatory reporting. The ongoing implementation of directives such as the Dodd-Frank Act and Basel III is fueling demand for professionals who can ensure compliance with industry regulations. Institutions need professionals who can audit AML and Bank Secrecy Act processes and help them maintain compliance with the associated mandates. In particular, businesses seek individuals with the certified anti-money laundering specialist (CAMS) credential. Staff who can assist with capital planning requirements also are in demand among banks. Buy-side firms, including hedge funds, asset managers and private equity firms, seek hires with risk and compliance backgrounds, as well as tradesupport and operations professionals, to handle increased business activity. Firms also need expertise in accounting and finance for fund accounting and investment and valuation analyses. Buoyed by an increase in commercial lending, hiring within the commercial banking sector is gaining steam. Mortgage bankers and loan processing personnel also remain in demand as low interest rates contribute to increased home buying and refinancing activity. The need to keep a prudent eye on escalating costs is driving the demand for accounting and finance professionals. Firms seek individuals with excellent technical accounting and reporting expertise, as well as strong commercial skills that can help the business identify growth opportunities. More robust operational risk programs require increased internal controls, fueling the hiring of more internal auditors. Salaries in the financial sector are gradually rising, especially for professionals with the most sought-after skills, such as those tied to risk and compliance. Counteroffers and multiple offers also are becoming more common for those with in-demand skills. 8

11 The Hiring Environment Spotlight on Healthcare 2014: A Pivotal Year for Healthcare, Financial Fields It s clear 2014 will be a transition year for healthcare in the United States as most of the provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) take effect Jan. 1. And in 2015, employers with 50 or more full-time and fulltime equivalent (FTE) employees must offer healthcare coverage to full-time employees and their eligible dependents under an employer-sponsored plan that meets ACA standards or face a possible penalty. Accounting and finance departments in all industries are sure to be affected as businesses begin implementing the act. Although penalties and reporting requirements for the employer mandate component of the act have been delayed until 2015, forward-looking companies are taking advantage of the extra time to get a head start on their compliance efforts. As companies make decisions about the ACA s provisions, they will need business analysts and other financial specialists to help them weigh their options. The tax implications could be significant with respect to areas such as flexible spending accounts, W-2 form reporting, the act s tax credit for small businesses and additional taxes on high-cost health plans. There are many other considerations. If a company is subject to ACA stipulations, for example, is it better for the bottom line to offer health insurance coverage to employees or pay the penalty? Does a business need to offer coverage to just its employees or provide family coverage as well? How can a firm determine whether it qualifies for the small business tax credit? And should a company consider controlling healthcare costs by flexibly managing its workforce through the use of temporary workers, who do not count toward the 50-employee threshold if they are retained for legitimate business reasons? For insight into these and other questions that are likely to come up for businesses, download a free copy of Robert Half s What Every Business Needs to Know About the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act at roberthalf.com/affordable-care-act. The ACA will not be the only healthcare-driven factor affecting accounting and finance employment in Healthcare organizations continue to look for seniorlevel finance professionals for help in completing operational assessments and determining financing for the implementation and upgrade of electronic medical records systems. Also spurring hiring is the adoption of the 10th Revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10), the standard diagnostic tool for epidemiology, health management and clinical purposes maintained by the World Health Organization. Finance specialists in areas such as charge capture, revenue analysis, and billing and coding compliance are all sought. Medicare and Medicaid also are changing, and organizations, both within and outside the healthcare sector, will require analysts and financial specialists to help them interpret laws and data alike. 9

28 The Benefits of a Flexible Staffing Plan Businesses today move at lightning speed. Advances in technology and communications, coupled with increased competition from all corners of the globe, mean companies must be agile in responding to change, including identifying the right personnel resources for projects. A flexible staffing plan that uses a combination of full-time employees and highly skilled interim professionals can help your firm staff up or down in response to business demand. This approach also introduces a variable-cost component into an otherwise fixed-cost labor structure and can help you guard against overstaffing and layoffs. Contingent workers are available at all experience levels and can supplement a company s core team whenever and for as long as necessary. These professionals can be engaged to fill staffing gaps, manage projects and serve as technical experts. The percentage of people in today s labor force working on a temporary or project basis is rising. This is a boon for companies, which can take advantage of the in-depth knowledge and experience these individuals possess. Here are some of the advantages of making temporary and project professionals a permanent part of your staffing mix: u You can adjust staffing levels to the ebb and flow of business cycles, keeping overhead costs under control. u You can ease the work burden on employees who may already be spread too thin because of rising business demands or additional duties. u You can handle projects outside the expertise of current staff members. u You can engage high-level specialists with skills not available in-house. u You can increase job stability for full-time employees. u You can reduce recruiting time if you identify a longer-term need. 26
