Methodology: medians reconcile live advertised UK salaries for this role and region; 25th–75th percentiles are shown only where at least 5 live salaried listings back them. They are measured or omitted, never interpolated. Rows marked indicative are anchored to our curated 2026 baseline ranges until enough live data accrues. Listings advertising an implausible annual figure (a mislabelled hourly or daily rate) are excluded rather than converted, because converting one means guessing the hours behind it.

Market view. Accounts assistants and bookkeepers sit well below the band (£24,000–£32,000); part-qualified roles anchor its bottom and newly qualified ACCA/ACA/CIMA accountants its middle. Practice pays less than industry at qualification but more later; audit seniors and tax specialists sit at the top.
