Accountant Jobs in Georgia: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become an accountant in Georgia?

To work as a licensed CPA in Georgia, you must meet the education and experience requirements set by the Georgia State Board of Accountancy and pass the Uniform CPA Examination. Georgia requires a bachelor's degree with specific accounting and business coursework, and candidates pursuing licensure must complete supervised work experience under a licensed CPA. Staff and senior accountant roles that do not require a CPA license are open to candidates with a relevant bachelor's degree and may use CPA candidacy as a competitive differentiator.

How much do accountants make in Georgia?

Accountants in Georgia earn a median of about $81,900 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $51,830 for the lowest 10% to over $145,960 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire accountants in Georgia?

Employers hiring accountants in Georgia right now include State of Georgia, Aprio, and AT&T, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Georgia's mix of Fortune 500 headquarters, major healthcare systems, and one of the largest port complexes in the country creates consistent demand for accountants with corporate, government, and logistics industry experience.

Which Georgia cities have the most accountant jobs?

Atlanta, Alpharetta, and Marietta have the most accountant openings in Georgia. Atlanta dominates because it is home to numerous corporate headquarters, Big Four and regional CPA firm offices, and a large healthcare and technology sector, while Savannah and Augusta generate steady demand through port-related logistics firms, military bases such as Fort Eisenhower, and regional medical centers.

Are there remote accountant jobs in Georgia?

Yes, and more than most fields. Accounting is primarily analytical and document-driven, which makes it well-suited to remote and hybrid arrangements. About 65% of accountant openings tied to Georgia are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, making it one of the more flexible professional roles in the state. Tax preparation, financial reporting, and audit support functions tend to have the highest share of remote availability.

How can I get hired as an accountant in Georgia with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is applying for staff accountant or accounting associate roles at large Georgia employers or regional CPA firms that run structured new-graduate programs. Firms such as Aprio and Bennett Thrasher, headquartered in metro Atlanta, recruit directly from Georgia universities and offer rotational training for candidates without prior corporate experience. Internships completed during a degree program are the single strongest differentiator. Candidates moving laterally from bookkeeping, accounts payable, or payroll roles also find entry-level accounting positions accessible, particularly at mid-size Georgia businesses and healthcare organizations.

Where can I find and apply to accountant jobs in Georgia?

You can find and apply to accountant jobs in Georgia on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers actively hiring in the state. Search the listings, find roles that match your experience and location, and apply directly to the ones that fit.
