Ally’s Answer

average starting pay is about $55,000 to $60,000 salaried in public accounting. This doesn't include bonus or other benefits. Salary range can go up to $150,000 mid-career. It depends on what area of accounting you go into. Salary websites like glassdoor.com are also helpful to give you a better range and the types of positions available. Hope this helps!
