In fact, CPA is only a necessary professional certificate for intermediate accountants. In terms of employment, large state-owned enterprises, foreign-funded companies and a few private companies will have better employment opportunities. As a migrant worker, CPA is not the strongest profession even in the financial field, because there are ACCA, AIA, CGA and CFA, among which the annual salary of ACCA and CFA is usually not less than 250,000, and the annual salary of the undergraduate who is the first in the global ACCA exam is150,000, plus LAWRANCE and BONUS, which is more than 200,000 a year. This is a relatively hard professional certificate.
Simply speaking, CPA, the employment situation in different cities is different, it is mainly dependent on your job position, FS,FM,FD,FC, and wages at different levels are of course different. Generally speaking, CPA is competitive in first-tier cities, but it is quite competitive in second-and third-tier cities.
For example, the financial director of Shenyang Coca-Cola (equivalent to FM) earns about 5K-8K a month, and the annual PACKAGE is about120,000 RMB. The FM of Shanghai Pepsi Cola has a monthly salary of about 25K－30K and an annual salary of about 450,000.
Friends downstairs, hehe, everyone has a different starting point. If you think CPA is your destination, it's good. Be content with Changle. PS, intermediate title is basically an invalid certificate for foreign-funded companies. Ha ha.
By the way, I am not a CPA, but I know them very well, and I am exposed to at least this level every day. I am not a panda, but I know pandas. Hehe, you don't have to be this identity to understand everything, otherwise, the knowledge will grow too slowly.
On the whole, as a CPA, if you have higher aspirations, there is still a lot of room for improvement. If you are satisfied, OK, enough to eat.
To add, of course, there are many senior financial personnel who only have CPA and no other certificates. This is because of their age. Many junior college students who came out of Lixin have now achieved the same high position in China and even Greater China FC, and they have CICPA. But this is related to their age, and most of them have graduated in the early 1990s. Have a wealth of experience. It is understood that at present, the China Institute of Certified Public Accountants has about140,000 members. If Chinese accountants are to meet the future needs, they need at least 300,000 certified public accountants.
Mr. Liao Zhongmin, president of the Beijing Committee of the Australian Institute of Accountants, said that there are three main reasons for the shortage of certified public accountants in China. First, in recent years, the vigorous development of enterprises, the increasing number of registered merchants in China and the frequent business activities of enterprises have increased their demand for accounting and auditing services, thus increasing the market demand for certified public accountants; Second, the convergence of China's accounting standards with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) has raised the requirements of enterprises for internal audit and corporategovernance, which has also become the second reason for the increase in the demand for certified public accountants; The increase in the number of listed companies is the third reason for the increase in the demand for certified public accountants.
The new accounting system implemented in China this year 1 month is further in line with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). This will not only increase the transparency of China companies and attract foreign investment, but also help China companies to expand into overseas markets. In the transitional period of implementing the new accounting system, a large number of international accounting talents will undoubtedly assist the smooth completion of this transition.
With the acceleration of economic globalization in China, the demand for international accounting talents in China will be increasingly strong.
Beijing has the largest number of certified public accountants in China.
In an interview with the Accounting Learning Department, the reporter learned that registered accountants in Beijing have four obvious characteristics.
First, the number of accountants ranks first in the country. By the end of September, 2006, there were 404 accounting firms affiliated to the Beijing Institute of Certified Public Accountants, of which 47 had set up branches in other places 188; CPA 10655, of which 62.4% have bachelor degree or above, and 63.6% are under 40. Secondly, the industry income ranks first in the country year after year. In 2005, the business income of accounting firms was 3.85 billion yuan, an increase of 23.28% over the previous year. The third is the concentration of large and medium-sized firms. Among the 100 accounting firms' information published by AICPA in 2005, Beijing occupied 4 1 company, among which 7 entered the top1company. Of the 72 firms with securities and futures business qualifications in China, 26 are in Beijing. Finally, the business scope continues to expand, and the position of market economy is becoming increasingly prominent. The depth and breadth of CPA's participation in economic construction have been continuously expanded, and its business scope has expanded from capital verification, accounting statement audit and asset evaluation to tax agency, listed company audit, judicial audit, outgoing audit, assets verification of large and medium-sized state-owned enterprises, enterprise bankruptcy liquidation authentication service, management consulting service and many other economic activities, which has become a new force to promote the prosperity and development of the capital economy.
International certified public accountants need four abilities.
Liao Zhongmin, president of the Beijing Committee of the Australian Institute of Accountants, said that in addition to the basic professional skills, an international certified public accountant should also have the ability to communicate in English, analyze affairs, solve problems and continue to learn.
Skilled professional knowledge is a must for an international certified public accountant. Employers with international vision need to hire international accountants who are proficient in professional knowledge, familiar with local and international accounting standards, understand foreign market operation rules and relevant laws and regulations, master the latest industry knowledge, and always stand at the forefront of the profession and industry to join their accounting team.
In the face of fierce international competition, foreign languages are becoming more and more important as a business tool. Mastering professional and accurate financial English and proficient English communication skills have long been the basic requirements for international accountants.
It is indispensable for an excellent international accountant to have clear thinking and strong logical ability, be able to find connections from various complicated financial and non-financial information for inductive analysis, effectively supervise the economic operation of enterprises and solve various financial problems.
In the era of increasingly updated knowledge, professional accountants need to have a strong thirst for knowledge and strong learning ability, update their professional knowledge at any time, and strive to broaden their knowledge structure and professional vision. This is an important skill to ensure that it does not lag behind the times, can always grasp the development trend of the industry, and stand at the forefront of the industry development.
Three ways to meet market demand
At present, the situation of talents in the domestic accounting industry is that high-end certified public accountants and other financial talents are extremely scarce.
"The Australian Institute of Accountants has provided various services and resources for training professional accounting talents." Liao Zhongmin said that the CPA Program professional examination and MentorProgram work experience program provided by the Australian Institute of Accountants can not only help accountants to obtain the qualification of certified public accountants in Australia, but also enhance their technical knowledge, business skills, analytical and problem-solving skills, and at the same time enable them to gain more development opportunities in different industries around the world, so that they can display their strengths.
In addition, the Australian Institute of Accountants has previously launched the "2006 Asian Student Internship Program". In the "2006 Asian Student Internship Program" held in Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia, on the one hand, the Australian Association hopes that employers can get in touch with some potential accounting students through the internship program, so as to explore the talents needed by the company; On the other hand, it is hoped that these accounting students will accumulate relevant professional work experience through this internship, exercise and improve in the real working environment, and lay the foundation for their future career development.
The salary of certified public accountants
The salary of accountants (the salary of accountants in 2008) is a sensitive topic, not only because of the different nature of enterprises, the salary given to accountants will be different, but also because enterprises think that the salary belongs to both business secrets and personal privacy, and they are often reluctant to disclose it.
In general, newcomers can be promoted to senior auditors after entering the enterprise for 2-3 years. After about 2 years, he was promoted to manager; After 3 years or so, he was promoted to senior manager; After 3-4 years, you can be promoted to partner.
The monthly salary of students who have just graduated and entered the four major international accounting firms is about 5000 yuan; The monthly salary of managers is about 20 thousand to 40 thousand yuan; The higher you go, the higher your monthly salary will be. The salary is generally composed of monthly salary of 13 to 14 months per year, plus dividends, benefits and bonuses.
