New Jersey CPAs Survey Accounting Firm Compensation

The New Jersey Society of CPAs has released an accounting compensation survey to help accounting firms determine compensation of employees and partners.

The 2012 NJSCPA Compensation & Benefits Survey of Public Accounting Firms in New Jersey covers salary, incentive plans, health insurance, paid time off and more. The study breaks down results from entry-level staff up through the partner level, as well as by the northern, central and southern regions of the Garden State – including the New York City and Philadelphia metropolitan areas.

“It’s very helpful to have a comprehensive salary survey that is specifically dedicated to public accountants in the state of New Jersey,” says WithumSmith+Brown director of human resources Joan Kampo in a statement. “New Jersey may be small geographically, but we have many accounting firms of all different sizes located throughout the state. The NJSCPA’s Compensation and Benefits Survey did a nice job of capturing not only the differences in benefits and compensation based on firm size, but also on geographical location,”

The study was performed in conjunction with Merces Consulting. A total of 79 firms participated in the survey, which ran from December 2011 through February 2012.
