The South West`s first dedicated salary survey for finance professionals

Every year salary surveys are produced by recruitment agencies purporting to accurately cover the whole of the UK, but until now no-one has produced a salary survey specifically for the accountancy sectors in only Devon, Cornwall & Somerset.

Lloyd Barnes Accountancy Recruitment is one of the leading specialist accountancy recruitment firms in the South West and they undertook a 12 month campaign to ascertain the true level of salaries being offered throughout the region.

Managing Director, Mark Lloyd said ‘For many years nationwide accountancy salary surveys have proved to be decidedly inaccurate as agencies have sought to cluster Devon, Cornwall, Somerset and Avon as one homogenised area. There is a considerable salary differential across this 300 mile corridor, with Avon and Bristol being markedly different from the rest of the region. This leaves many employers still guessing at what salary levels really are’.

The survey uses data collated over the last year from Lloyd Barnes extensive database of placements, market and competitor analysis to produce a comprehensive list of salaries for all levels of accountancy positions from Group Finance Director to Accounts Administrator. This report is an essential reference tool for any business that wants to attract the best candidates by ensuring they are offering a competitive salary package.

Rob Norman, Finance Director, Flybe commented ‘Ensuring that we remain competitive with salaries in the local area is essential to Flybe so that we retain key staff and develop a high quality and professional finance team. Lloyd Barnes’ salary survey has always been invaluable in helping us achieve this goal, along with their willingness to help and their understanding of the local market, which is second to none’.
