Unless you plan to climb the ladder to become the CFO or Director of Audit at a major company, or as another poster noted, build your own accounting firm, you are unlikely to make much more than $100k working as a staff accountant. While thats a good parnassah by national standards, it doesn’t go that far if you live in NYC or one of the other major metro areas and/or have a large family with several kids going to yeshiva or facing $50k/yr college tuition.
