Our report looks solely at the salaries that have been used to successfully recruit new candidates in the past 12 months. With the wage growth we have seen at some levels, our report will show figures that are higher than the levels of pay of existing staff in many businesses. It will show the most accurate and up-to-date data on the cost of attracting and engaging new staff.

We had concluded our analysis in January but made the decision to extend the period of analysis a further three months – our thoughts were that some of trends were continuing to evolve as we remained in lockdown and before we could assess the immediate impact of the IR35 changes.

Our guide looks at the key levels across finance;

• CFO / Finance Director
• Financial Controller & middle management
• Interims
• Newly Qualified
• Part Qualified
• Credit Control
• Accounts Payable & Accounts receivable
• Payroll
• Professional Practice

We look at each level from the perspective of an employer and an employee.

We also provide a section looking at the non-salary benefits for each level.

In a market where the demand for staff is often out pacing the supply, it is even more critical to assess the candidate pool before starting a recruitment process. Our Traffic Light Report on the 31 different levels of a finance department is a simple way of looking at the depth of the candidate pool for each job. With over three quarters of roles in finance having a shallow or moderate pool of candidates, it shows how important effective planning for your proposition, reward and recruitment is.

Our guide is designed to be easy-to-use and accessible for all. Extra benefit and tailored filtering can always be achieved through a conversation with any of our team. Please download a copy and contact us if you would like to discuss in any more detail.
