Is accounting a really well paid job, how much does an accountant get paid?

It varies between £15K and £100K for salaried staff. You can earn more with your own partnership ( but that applies to any profession )

Depends on the type of accountant and your level in the company or firm. If you are a CPA for a private firm it can be just like being a lawyer where you can be an associate, partner, et cetera. In that case it depends on the type of clients and the load the company carries. You can make a very god living (6 figures plus) depending on what you do in the field.

mine gets far tooooooooo much money. i even have to pay his flamin petrol bill when he comes to see me. and his lunch expenses. sadly he is very good tho, so you get what you pay for i guess!!

depending on qualifications and experience up to £45k a year. thats a big chunk of change and one of the reasons im training to be one.

It depends where you work. Some of the accountants in the large London firms get paid very well. You could work your way all the way up to Head of Finance and find your self on £100,000 per year.

dont know much about the job but used to work in an accounts dept & the accountant there was rushed off her feet all day every day. She had to plan hols months upon months in advance & sometimes have to cancel. If you want stress - thats your job. Very good pay though

An accountant gets paid fairly well. Depending on where you are working the salary will vary!

Think it's ok, but not great, try being a Lawyer, they get paid loads!!

It depends upon how many clients you have. My accountant earns a blummin' fortune because he has lots of clients for whom he works.
