Present situation of accounting industry

There is a serious shortage of certified public accountants.

Even in recent years, the number of certified public accountants has increased substantially every year, but few people have actually passed the general examination to become certified public accountants.

The salary of certified public accountants

First, the treatment of certified public accountants in different cities.

1. First-tier cities have higher demand for certified public accountants and higher wages.
