Business growth, ongoing compliance-related issues and a shrinking labor pool are fueling demand for accounting and finance professionals, according to the 2007 Salary Guide from Robert Half International. Salaries are on the rise, with a national average increase in base compensation of 3.8 percent projected for 2007.

Due to the competitive hiring market, companies will pay at the high end of their salary ranges for professionals possessing the right mix of skills. Firms also are expediting the hiring process and offering signing bonuses to secure top candidates. Options such as flexible scheduling, telecommuting and part- time work are becoming increasingly common.

The 2007 Salary Guide also indicates certain specialists are in particular demand. Many organizations seek professionals with knowledge of U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission reporting requirements to help maintain compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and other regulations. In addition, public accounting firms of all sizes are making recruiting a year-round priority in areas such as audit, corporate governance, tax and risk management.

With regard to professional certifications, the certified public accountant (CPA) designation remains the most in-demand accreditation for many positions. However, employers also seek candidates with designations such as the certified management accountant (CMA), certified internal auditor (CIA), and certified information systems auditor (CISA).

Other key findings reported in the 2007 Salary Guide include:

• Corporate finance analysts are projected to see base compensation of $48,000 to $63,250 annually, a 7 percent increase over 2006.
• Risk managers can expect a 6.7 percent increase in starting salary in 2007, to between $54,500 and $72,250.
• Bookkeepers can anticipate a 6.7 percent increase in base compensation, to the range of $30,250 to $37,000 annually.
• Entry-level cost accountants at small companies (up to $25 million in sales) will see starting salaries rise 5.8 percent, to between $33,250 and $39,250 annually.
• Information technology audit managers at large companies will see average starting salaries of $85,500 to $114,500, up 5 percent from 2006 levels.
