Financial Accounting Jobs Overview

Financial accounting jobs let you use your mathematical, organizational, and analytical skills to help a company maintain its records. You'll handle tasks like tracking income, writing balance sheets, and presenting income reports. This role is vital for government agencies, financial institutions, nonprofits, and any corporation that requires meticulous financial oversight.

There can be some variety in what financial accountants do. Here are some examples of related jobs that fall within the financial accountant field:

  • accounting analyst: You work to collect documentation and prepare reports that help companies make smart decisions about budget, cash flow, and other issues.
  • accounting assistant: You process invoices, keep records of transactions, and perform other administrative duties to help an accounting department run smoothly.
  • accounting associate: You perform a variety of bookkeeping tasks such as processing payroll and managing an accounts payable sector.
  • accounting clerk: You are responsible for keeping track of records, filing documents, updating ledgers, and other data entry tasks.
  • accounting director: You oversee an accounting department and assign various accounting duties to specific members of your team.
  • accounting specialist: You hunt down discrepancies, identify compliance issues, and work with complex accounting fields like healthcare or insurance.
     

The majority of these careers are full-time jobs in an office setting, where you primarily work with computers and documentation. You can also find positions that allow part-time or remote work opportunities.

Financial Accounting Jobs Salaries

There's a fairly broad range of potential salaries for financial accountants. While the median annual wage is $79,880, the type of position you have makes a huge difference to your salary.

If you have a position with a lot of responsibility, such as that of an accounting director, you might earn more, but an entry-level position, like an accounting assistant, will pay less. Some people with financial accounting jobs make as much as $137,280 while others make as little as $50,440 a year.

Your location also makes a big difference. A few high-demand cities for financial accounting jobs include Los Angeles, CA, New York, NY, and Washington, DC.

For a more detailed estimate of how much you can make in financial accounting, try our Monster salary calculator. We'll let you know all the details of how much financial accounting jobs pay in your region.

How to Find Financial Accounting Jobs

The first step of any job hunt is looking for a position that suits you. Since the financial accounting field is so broad, it's important to think about your goals and preferences and narrow down the list.

Of course, one of the main things is selecting a job with duties you feel comfortable performing. Look at the job description and see which qualifications and skills the employer is requesting. Try to picture yourself in the position and see whether you'd enjoy specifically mentioned responsibilities such as filing compliance reports or discussing your findings with other managers.

It's also useful to think about how the job will fit into your lifestyle. Some things you might want to ask yourself include:

  • Does the company have a reputation for providing employees with a good work-life balance?
  • Does the company work in a specific industry, like real estate or manufacturing, that you're particularly interested in?
  • Will the size of the company and the department you're in suit your personal preferences?
  • Are there any opportunities for growth, such as internal promotion programs or mentorship initiatives?
  • Will the position put you in a good spot for achieving your long-term career goals?

Applying for Financial Accounting Jobs

After finding some interesting job listings, it's time to apply. Here are some tips to help your application shine.

Design an Effective Resume

Your resume is your chance to leave a positive first impression. Financial accounting resumes should be single-page documents that clearly list your education, workplace history, and skills. You should carefully arrange all this information with headers and bullet points so that you can emphasize your organizational skills.

If you'd like help with wording things persuasively, turn to our Monster Professional Resume Writing Service. Our certified resume writers can help you format things correctly and present your accomplishments in the best possible light.

Include Keywords and Job Posting References

Take a little time to customize your basic resume to suit each job posting. Look at specific skills and abilities the company wants, such as Excel or QuickBooks knowledge, and make sure you mention them. If they ask for certain certifications, such as a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) certification, highlight those qualifications as well.

Another useful way to create a targeted resume is by including keywords. Edit your resume to make sure it has phrasing that any applicant tracking software will be looking for. Common keywords for financial accounting jobs include:

  • accounts payable

Write a Great Cover Letter

Cover letters are a useful way of showing your passion and professionalism. The typical cover letter should be a single-page document with a professional header and closing. It should explain who you are and why you're interested in the job.

As these cover letter tips for finance professionals show, it's important to list your accomplishments. Provide numbers and figures that demonstrate your financial reporting and budgeting skills. Show how you fulfill the employer's needs, and emphasize that you are the right person for the job.

Following Up on Financial Accounting Applications

Once you apply for financial accounting jobs, you don't have to sit around and wait until you get an interview request. A follow-up is usually a good idea if you haven't heard back from the employer a week after applying, and it's a great opportunity to help your application stand out.

Start the follow-up process by checking the job application to see if it has contact information. If the listing doesn't tell you directly who to contact, check the company's website or give them a call to see if you can find contact information for a hiring manager or HR director. It's acceptable to follow up for financial accounting positions via phone or email, so choose whichever you are more comfortable with.

A good follow-up message will include your name, the position you're applying for, and why you're a good fit for the job. Keep the message positive, and politely ask for updates on the hiring process. For best results, make sure to emphasize that you're interested in the job and hope to have a chance to speak with the hiring manager in person.

Interviewing for Financial Accounting Jobs

Your interview is a great opportunity to have a face-to-face conversation with your potential coworkers. You'll want to put your best foot forward and show that you would be a great asset to their financial department. Here are some tips for having the best interview possible.

Research the Company

Make sure to learn about the company before the interview. Research the industry and get an idea of how their accounting processes work.

During the interview, you can use this information to highlight why you're the perfect fit for the job. For example, if it's a healthcare company, you'll want to mention that you have past experience working with insurance billing codes.

Be Prepared to Answer Questions

Interviews for financial accounting jobs usually consist of a 30-minute session where one or more people will ask you questions. A great way to reduce the stress of an interview is to look up questions ahead of time. You don't need to have rehearsed answers, but simply gathering your thoughts before the interview will make it much easier to answer promptly.

One part of financial accounting questions is assessing your personal characteristics and your practical skills. Some common questions include:

  • Why are you interested in the field of accounting?
  • What are some of the techniques you use to ensure your accounting is accurate?
  • What's your favorite part of the day-to-day responsibilities of a financial accountant?
  • Can you please describe past experiences you've had with handling financial accounts?
  • How would you handle a financial error that you discovered?
  • Which accounting software programs do you prefer to work with?

Refer to Your Past Experiences

Whenever possible, use an interview question as a chance to provide a concrete example of how you've succeeded in the past. To keep your responses as clear as possible, try using the STAR technique for behavioral interview questions. STAR stands for situation, task, action, and result, and it's a convenient way of organizing your answer without rambling.

Follow Up After the Interview

Just like the job application, it's a good idea to follow up after the interview. Make sure to send a thank-you note to the interviewer within 24 hours of the interview. This can be a great way to remind them of an interview highlight or clarify a point you made in the interview.

If you don't hear back after the interview, a longer follow-up is also a good idea. Send this follow-up after seven to 10 days. In the follow-up message, ask for updates on the interview process and request feedback on how the interview went.

Responding to Your Job Offer

If everything goes according to plan, you'll end up getting an offer for the financial accounting job. Seeing all your hard work pay off is certainly one of the most exciting parts of the job hunt. However, before you enjoy your new job, there are still a few more things you need to do.

Respond Politely to the Job Offer

It's important to reply to any job offer promptly. Thank the company for their interest, express your enthusiasm for the position, and ask how long you have to go over the offer.

Typically, you'll receive a formal document via email. You'll have a day or two to look it over and decide if you want to accept the financial accounting job. If the document is unclear, you can also reach out to the company to ask for clarification on things like what your job title will be or how many employees you'll oversee.

Review the Official Offer

When you look at the job offer, pay close attention to the listed job duties. Not only do you need to ensure you're capable of completing them, but you also need to see if the listed compensation makes sense for the level of responsibility the position entails.

Negotiate the Details

Once you've collected your thoughts, reach out to the company to ask if they are willing to negotiate. Most financial accountants will focus on salary and try to encourage the company to pay them a higher rate by pointing out how the current salary compares to other offers. You might also want to ask for other benefits like remote work opportunities or free certification courses.

Career Paths

Once you're working as a financial accountant, you have many careers in the financial industry to consider. You may work your way up to a managerial position such as a financial reporting manager or finance administrator.

For these jobs, it's essential to gain experience and credentials. Look for positions of responsibility where you oversee other employees and try to seek out courses for certifications like Certified Finance Manager.

Another option is to use your financial expertise to become an executive. Some chief financial officers (CFOs) began their careers as financial accountants.

If you want to become a C-suite executive, education and networking are essential. In addition to getting a degree such as a Master of Business Administration (MBA), it's important to build industry contacts and get to know people in your desired field.
