Frequently Asked Questions

What does it mean for a company to be accredited by the Better Business Bureau (BBB)?

For a business to receive accreditation from the Better Business Bureau (BBB), it must meet their accreditation standards which are derived from a Code of Business Practices. The code is based upon eight principles that summarize critical elements of creating and maintaining trust in business. BBB accreditation does not include an endorsement of the business’ products or services, or any claims about the quality or competency of the business. Accredited businesses pay a fee for the consideration process, ongoing monitoring for compliance and for support of BBB services to the public, but there is no obligation by a business to pursue accreditation.

What does a BBB rating mean?

The Better Business Bureau (BBB) rates companies based upon their opinion of how a business will interact with its customers. The rating is derived from information obtained from public data sources and the business itself. The ratings range from A+ (highest) to F (lowest), but in some cases the BBB will not give out a rating (NR) for reasons such as insufficient information or an ongoing review. Ratings have no credence towards a company’s reliability or performance, and the BBB suggests that consumers consider the BBB rating along with other information before choosing to engage in business.

What is the average salary for accountants?

The average yearly salary for accountants is $61,696 based upon over 37,000 reviews on Glassdoor.com. While this number can provide job seekers with a general idea, actual salaries will vary depending on credentials, experience, employer, job tasks, location and performance.

What level of education do I need to get a job at one of the best accounting firms?

Required education levels will vary depending on the position, but there are jobs available in the industry for all levels of education. For example, entry-level accounting positions for individuals who are in the process of earning a bachelor’s degree or have recently completed a degree include accounting clerks or junior accountants.

Accounting clerks earn on average $38,241 per year, and junior accountants earn on average $52,268 per year. Accounting managers earn on average $97,000 annually, and accounting directors are reported to earn around $147,000. Managers and directors often hold not only higher degrees, but also have extensive related work history.
