Starting Salaries:

Salaries earned in public accounting differ from those earned in corporate accounting.
Typically, public accounting pays more. The size of your company also affects your starting salary.

First-year accountant going to work in the tax department at a large public accounting firm can expect to earn between $49,000 and $59,750 per year.

For a similar position at a small accounting firm, the salary range is $41,250 to $49,000.

If you work at a midsize corporation doing cost accounting, your first-year salary would range from $37,750 to $45,500.
