Accounting Technicians can work at all levels, often starting out in junior roles providing crucial support to management and other senior staff. They can progress to the highest levels of business and can be found at every level in between.

Careers in accounting and finance can be very rewarding and those with lots of experience often receive very high salaries. Indeed, studies show that many accounting graduates often end up in senior management positions.

Salaries can vary depending on the experience and role held by individuals, on the size of the organisation and whether this is in industry or practice. Entry level salaries for trainee Accounting Technicians can start at €20k to €25k and climb to €40k to €50k for more senior accounts staff. Highly experienced accounts professionals in senior finance positions can command salaries in excess of €100k.

Accounting Technicians are employed in all types of organisations. Having some work experience in this area is very helpful in getting a job. For students, internships, part-time work, or summer jobs can provide a foot in the door.

Voluntary work is also useful if you can do this. Even working a few hours per week on a voluntary basis can help you build up the necessary experience. Jobs are advertised on a variety of job search websites and networking is also a useful tool for finding employment.
