What affects an Accountant’s salary in Spain

Across every market we cover, the same forces set the Accountant range: chartered/CPA qualification and a move into finance leadership are the main step-changes in pay. Against the 32.000 € Spain median that means a spread wide enough to matter more than the 27.4% the tax system takes.
