4. New Zealand
Average yearly salary: $64-85K
Position: Financial Accountant
Years of experience: 5+
Overview of the trends: Middle of our list of the highest paying countries for accountants is reserved for New Zealand with its still strong demand for qualified professionals from many different areas. Companies in New Zealand are usually very inclined to find and retain professionals who could act as true partners, add value to their business and enrich their corporate culture. Particularly those who can offer essential improvements in decision-making and provide sound analytical and financial reasoning are most welcomed. As a result, demand for chartered accountants continued to grow in 2015.
Available workforce is not an appropriate response to the existing demand, especially for candidates who have had experience of working in a corporate environment, whether within New Zealand or overseas. You can also count on generous remuneration packages since base salary rises alone are not treated as satisfying offers in New Zealand labor market.
