An accounting salary will vary on a few factors, such as location, workload and the actual job description. Many accountants also earn overtime wages during the tax season by helping individuals or businesses to complete the annual tax returns.  The salaries will also vary based upon the type of business that the accounting is being done for. Smaller non-profit accountants typically earn less per year than for-profit agencies. There are a wide variety of different types of accountants as well. The job description of each type of accountant will also impact the accountant’s earnings. A general rule of thumb states that the more money a company makes; the more money the accountants will make that work for or with the company.  Another thing to consider are the perks that the company has to offer. Many businesses offer percentage bonuses throughout the year that can really boost an accountant’s income.
