Accountant Jobs in Pennsylvania: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a accountant in Pennsylvania?
To become a licensed CPA in Pennsylvania, you must earn a bachelor's degree with sufficient accounting credits, pass all four sections of the Uniform CPA Exam, and complete the required hours of supervised work experience before applying to the Pennsylvania State Board of Accountancy for licensure. For non-CPA accounting roles, employers typically require a bachelor's degree in accounting or finance. Public accounting firms in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh often recruit directly from Pennsylvania's accredited university programs.
How much do accountants make in Pennsylvania?
Accountants in Pennsylvania earn a median of about $79,000 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $50,680 for the lowest 10% to over $130,270 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire accountants in Pennsylvania?
Employers hiring accountants in Pennsylvania right now include Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Bell & Evans, and Transamerica, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Pennsylvania's concentration of large health systems, financial institutions, and manufacturing corporations means steady, year-round demand for both public and private-sector accountants.
Which Pennsylvania cities have the most accountant jobs?
Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and York account for the largest share of accountant openings in Pennsylvania. Philadelphia dominates due to its dense concentration of corporate headquarters, regional banks, and major health systems, while Pittsburgh's finance and technology sectors drive consistent demand, and mid-sized markets like Allentown attract openings from manufacturing and logistics employers anchored in the Lehigh Valley.
Are there remote accountant jobs in Pennsylvania?
Yes, and more than most fields, since accounting work is largely desk-based and document-driven. About 45% of accountant openings tied to Pennsylvania are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting how well the role translates to off-site work. Tax preparation, financial reporting, and management accounting functions are the areas most commonly offered as fully remote or flexible-schedule positions.
How can I get hired as a accountant in Pennsylvania with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a staff accountant or accounting associate role, which Pennsylvania's large health systems, public accounting firms, and regional manufacturers regularly fill with recent graduates. Philadelphia and Pittsburgh firms in the Big Four and regional mid-tier networks run structured new-graduate programs with rotational assignments. Completing your CPA exam sections while still in school gives you a measurable edge, and internships at Pennsylvania community banks or regional CPA firms convert to full-time offers at a high rate.
Where can I find and apply to accountant jobs in Pennsylvania?
You can find and apply to accountant jobs in Pennsylvania on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings tied to Pennsylvania employers. Find roles that match your experience and specialization, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
