Qualified people remain hard to find
Demand for qualified accountants has run ahead of supply for three years in a row. Strong financial controllers now expect to hear back within days, not weeks.
Current salary bands
Financial controllers in Leeds are landing between £58,000 and £70,000. Management accountants sit between £40,000 and £47,000, and exam support is now expected rather than offered.
What this means for you
Move quickly on the shortlist, publish the band and be clear about the path to finance director.
