Accounting Analyst Jobs in Ohio: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a accounting analyst in Ohio?
Most accounting analyst roles in Ohio require a bachelor's degree in accounting or finance from an accredited institution. Ohio does not require a state license to work as an accounting analyst, but earning or pursuing CPA licensure through the Accountancy Board of Ohio significantly strengthens your candidacy. Many employers in Columbus, Cleveland, and Cincinnati prioritize candidates with general ledger experience or internship history at regional firms or large corporate finance departments.
How much do accounting analysts make in Ohio?
Accounting analysts in Ohio earn a median of about $89,840 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $60,570 for the lowest 10% to over $135,370 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire accounting analysts in Ohio?
Employers hiring accounting analysts in Ohio right now include Victoria's Secret, Citi, and Fire-Dex, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Ohio's concentration of insurance carriers, healthcare systems, and manufacturing headquarters means accounting analyst demand is spread across several stable, high-volume industries rather than relying on a single sector.
Which Ohio cities have the most accounting analyst jobs?
Columbus, Reynoldsburg, and Akron have the most accounting analyst openings in Ohio. Columbus leads due to its dense cluster of insurance, financial services, and state government employers, while Cleveland draws volume from its large healthcare systems and manufacturing firms, and Cincinnati benefits from the regional headquarters of major consumer goods and retail companies anchored along the Ohio-Kentucky border.
Are there remote accounting analyst jobs in Ohio?
Yes, and more than most fields, since accounting analyst work is desk-based and output-driven rather than hands-on. About 75% of accounting analyst openings tied to Ohio are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the role's strong fit for distributed work arrangements. Financial reporting, variance analysis, and reconciliation tasks are the functions most commonly performed fully remote.
How can I get hired as a accounting analyst in Ohio with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying for staff accountant or accounting associate roles at Ohio-based healthcare systems, insurance carriers, or manufacturing companies that run structured new-graduate hiring programs. Employers like large Columbus-area insurance firms and Cleveland-based hospital networks regularly hire recent graduates into rotational finance programs. Completing an internship at a regional public accounting firm and passing the first sections of the CPA exam through the Accountancy Board of Ohio both give candidates a measurable edge over the competition.
Where can I find and apply to accounting analyst jobs in Ohio?
You can find and apply to accounting analyst jobs in Ohio on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers actively hiring in the state. Find roles that fit your experience and location and apply directly to the ones that match.
