READY
FOR A
PAY RISE?
Want more cash in your pay packet? You are not
alone. Data from the 2022-2023 Hays Accountancy &
Finance Salary Guide reveals almost half of Australia’s
accountants believe a pay rise above 6 per cent will
reflect their performance.
While 91 per cent of accountancy employers say they
will increase salaries in their next review, up from 74 per
cent last year, 84 per cent of businesses plan to offer
an increase of 6 per cent or less, and the majority are
scheduling rises below 3 per cent.
“Intense competition for skilled professionals will translate
into gradual salary increases this financial year,” says Nick
Deligiannis, managing director of Hays in Australia and
New Zealand.
“Moving away from the salary stability stance of recent
years, employers say the skills shortage is the reason
increases are higher than planned,” adds Deligiannis.
“Already, 91 per cent are experiencing a skills shortage and
83 per cent say it will impact the effective operation or
growth plans of their organisation, up from 64 per cent
last year. This is fuelling a once-in-a-career market.”
