How much does a Acountant make a year?

How many years of experience, are they are CPA, is it a big city or a small town, is it a large company or a small company.

20,000 a year to 200,000 a year in a general answer.

Heck, if you become the CFO, CEO of a major company, you could make upwards to $350,000/yr.

Chuck is right. Definitely not enough information. In California, with 25 years experience, for a large CPA firm, $300,000 or more. In the Southwest, same circumstances, $100,000. CA, 2 yrs. Exp. $40,000. SW, 2 yrs. Exp. $22,000.

For example I live in a little town that would remind you of "Mayberry" off the old TV show. It is about a town of 4000 to 5000 people, with almost all of the industry except for some saw mills and pallet factories closed.

Walmart is our largest employor in town. A person finding a 8 dollar a hour job in our town is considered lucky, and people drive 90 miles one way to work at places paying 10 dollars a hour.
