Accountant Jobs in Michigan: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a accountant in Michigan?
To work as a licensed CPA in Michigan, candidates must meet the requirements set by the Michigan Board of Accountancy, which oversees CPA licensure in the state. You need a bachelor's degree with specific accounting coursework, passage of the Uniform CPA Examination, and relevant work experience under a licensed CPA. Many staff-level accountant roles that do not require a CPA license are accessible with a bachelor's degree alone.
How much do accountants make in Michigan?
Accountants in Michigan earn a median of about $78,820 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $52,620 for the lowest 10% to over $131,080 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire accountants in Michigan?
Employers hiring accountants in Michigan right now include Nienhuis Financial, SpartanNash, and Ally Financial, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Michigan's deep manufacturing base, large hospital networks, and regional public accounting firms generate consistent accounting demand across the state.
Which Michigan cities have the most accountant jobs?
Grand Rapids, Detroit, and Holland have the most accountant openings in Michigan. Detroit leads because of the automotive industry headquarters and large professional services firms clustered there, Grand Rapids draws on its expanding healthcare and manufacturing sectors, and Ann Arbor's concentration of university-affiliated institutions and technology companies supports steady accounting hiring.
Are there remote accountant jobs in Michigan?
Yes, and more than most fields. About 27% of accountant openings tied to Michigan are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting how well general ledger, tax preparation, and financial analysis work translates to remote settings. Roles that involve hands-on audit fieldwork or on-site payroll operations tend to remain in-person.
How can I get hired as a accountant in Michigan with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying to staff accountant or accounting associate positions at Michigan's large employers while pursuing or completing a bachelor's degree in accounting. Hospital systems such as Beaumont Health and manufacturers such as Stellantis hire new graduates into rotational finance programs. Internships through Michigan's public accounting firms also convert regularly to full-time offers. Earning your CPA exam eligibility early, even before full licensure, strengthens your application considerably against candidates with similar work histories.
Where can I find and apply to accountant jobs in Michigan?
You can find and apply to accountant jobs in Michigan on Migrate Mate, which lists current Michigan openings updated regularly. Search the listings to find roles that match your experience and credentials, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
