For a comprehensive overview of 2026 salaries for finance and accounting professionals and the sector’s current labour market trends, explore our latest publication.
The publication was developed through the collaboration of two Gi Group Holding brands: Grafton and Gi Next Student Cooperative. Alongside finance specialists’ labour market conditions and expectations, this year we also explore students’ career aspirations and work preferences, providing insight into both current recruitment needs and the future talent pipeline.
Our research examines both employee and employer perspectives across corporate finance and financial institutions. The findings offer practical insights to support workforce planning and the development of recruitment and retention strategies for the coming year.
The publication covers:
• 2026 finance and accounting salary ranges, by experience level

• Job changes and salary expectations: finance specialists’ motivations for changing jobs and priorities when choosing an employer

We particularly recommend this publication to:
