Accountant Jobs in Kansas: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a accountant in Kansas?

To work as a licensed CPA in Kansas, you must meet the education requirements set by the Kansas Board of Accountancy, pass all four sections of the Uniform CPA Examination, and satisfy the required hours of supervised work experience before applying for licensure. A bachelor's degree with a concentration in accounting is the standard starting point. Accountants who do not pursue the CPA license can enter the field with a relevant degree and build credentials through employer experience and certifications such as the CMA.

How much do accountants make in Kansas?

Accountants in Kansas earn a median of about $79,000 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $52,960 for the lowest 10% to over $129,800 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire accountants in Kansas?

Companies currently hiring accountants in Kansas include Black & Veatch, State of Kansas, and Newman Regional Health, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Kansas's mix of agribusiness headquarters, regional banks, large insurance carriers, and state government agencies keeps accountant hiring active across both the private and public sectors.

Which Kansas cities have the most accountant jobs?

Overland Park, Wichita, and Olathe have the most accountant openings in Kansas. Wichita's aerospace and manufacturing base drives demand in the south, Overland Park and Kansas City metro employers in the northeast generate a high volume of corporate accounting roles, and Topeka's concentration of state government agencies and insurance companies sustains consistent public-sector and regulatory accounting openings.

Are there remote accountant jobs in Kansas?

Yes, and more than most fields. About 56% of accountant openings tied to Kansas are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting how well the work translates to off-site environments. Tax preparation, financial reporting, and management accounting functions are the sub-areas most frequently offered on a fully remote or hybrid basis by Kansas employers.

How can I get hired as a accountant in Kansas with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is an accounting internship or staff accountant role at a regional Kansas employer while completing or just after finishing a bachelor's degree. Large Kansas organizations such as the State of Kansas and regional banking institutions regularly bring on entry-level accountants and accounting technicians. Roles like accounts payable clerk, billing specialist, or payroll coordinator are common stepping stones. Passing even one section of the CPA exam or holding a bookkeeping certification gives an early-career candidate a clear edge over other applicants at the same level.

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

You can find and apply to accountant jobs in Kansas on Migrate Mate, which lists current Kansas openings across industries and experience levels. Search the roles that match your background and apply directly to the ones that fit.
