WHAT IS THE AVERAGE SALARY OF A GROUP ACCOUNTANT?

The salary of a group accountant can vary depending on the industry, location and experience. In Germany, the average gross annual salary for this position (with a permanent position) is between 60,000 and 80,000 euros, whereby a junior group accountant naturally earns less than a senior group accountant. Additional factors such as bonuses also influence the accountant's salary, sometimes considerably.
