Barden & CASSI | The definitive guide on Salaries and CVs for Newly Qualified Accountants in Ireland

As a newly qualified accountant coming out of training contract now or in 2026, there are lots of things you’ll be thinking and wondering about.

For many people, just like you, money is usually high on the agenda. You have, after all, worked hard and sacrificed a lot, so it’s only fair to be compensated correctly for the value of your time.  You’ll also want to be sure that your CV is competitive as it’s the document that will represent you when you are not in the room.

  • What’s the going salary for a newly qualified accountant?
  • What information is accurate and what can I rely on?
  • I heard Mary got 58K and Laura got 65K – what does that mean?
  • How do I benchmark my salary against the going ‘rate’ out there?
  • What should my CV contain and how should it be formatted now that I am qualified?

Join us for the next instalment of the Barden and CASSI (The Chartered Accountants Ireland Student Society) webinar series where we answer all your salary questions & Newly qualified CVs and share the latest insights from the recently published Salary Survey 2025 by Barden and Chartered Accountants Leinster Society.
