Financial Accountant Jobs - FAQs

What do you do as a Financial Accountant?

Financial Accountants play a vital role in the world of finance and accounting. They are responsible for overseeing, analysing and reporting a company's financial data while ensuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

By providing financial assistance, accountants must adhere to generally accepted accounting principles when completing their tasks. This involves creating reports that reflect cash flows, profits and losses, as well as consistent analysis of past performance to suggest areas for improvement. As highly trained professionals, a qualified accountant plays an integral role in helping businesses make sound fiscal decisions.

What is the highest-paying job in accounting?

The highest-paying job in accounting in Australia is typically a Chief Financial Officer. The average annual salary for such a role typically falls between $150,000-$300,000 depending on the size and nature of the company. These positions typically require a great deal of experience and expertise to fill them, so it’s not surprising that they often come with lucrative wages attached.

The minimum qualifications to hold a CFO position depend on the particular business, though you’ll generally need at least a bachelor’s degree in accounting or finance, preferably with CPA or ACCA certification.

What is the difference between an accountant and a Financial Accountant?

Accountants and Financial Accountants both provide important expertise when it comes to interpreting and managing financial documents.

The key difference between an Accountant and a Financial Accountant is the scope of their tasks. An accountant typically performs audits, maintains financial records and prepares reports, while a Financial Accountant takes those services a step further by providing detailed strategic advice regarding budgeting, investments, taxation and other essential decisions. A Financial Accountant specialises in analysing real-world data to better understand the current markets and make informed predictions about the future economic landscape.

How do I get senior financial accountant jobs?

Becoming a senior financial accountant requires the attainment of both technical knowledge and professional experience. To build the knowledge base necessary to become successful in this profession, a bachelor's degree in accounting or finance is recommended when searching for senior financial accountant jobs.

Potential accountants can pursue further education such as a master's degree or become a certified public accountant (CPA). Professional certifications like Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) are often preferred by employers and can give aspiring accountants an edge as they work toward more senior-level roles. For other finance positions, you can browse related jobs like financial controller, finance manager, finance director, assistant accountant, senior management accountant, and more.
