RK Accountancy Salary Survey 2009

1. RK Accountancy Salary Survey 2009 The RK Accountancy salary survey forms part of our service to clients to help deliver profitable partnerships. The importance of getting the right accounts staff is more critical than ever before. With unrivalled local knowledge, RK Accountancy can deliver a salary survey that adds real value to clients. The salaries in this survey indicate those being paid to finance staff in the respective areas throughout the first quarter of 2009 and April. They are only focused on those working within the commerce and industry related industries, in companies with turnovers between £1m -£100m. These have been compiled using a scientific approach to accurately depict the current market situation. We have analysed all locally published vacancies (both online and in printed media) in addition to evaluating our own database. The accuracy of these figures has been strengthened by our local knowledge built up over many years, along with our policy of constantly monitoring the local economy. South Yorkshire, West Yorkshire, North-West, West Midlands
