Accounting Analyst Jobs in Washington: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a accounting analyst in Washington?
The standard path starts with a bachelor's degree in accounting or finance, which satisfies the educational baseline most Washington employers require. Candidates who pursue CPA licensure must apply through the Washington State Board of Accountancy, which administers the Uniform CPA Examination and sets the credit-hour and experience requirements. Many Washington employers in technology and aerospace specifically look for candidates with ERP system exposure alongside their degree, treating it as a practical differentiator.
How much do accounting analysts make in Washington?
Accounting analysts in Washington earn a median of about $96,640 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $61,240 for the lowest 10% to over $147,640 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire accounting analysts in Washington?
Employers hiring accounting analysts in Washington right now include Axon, Starbucks, and Zensa, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Washington's concentration of major corporate headquarters and large-scale defense contractors means demand for accounting analysts tends to be especially consistent in the greater Seattle area and the Puget Sound corridor.
Which Washington cities have the most accounting analyst jobs?
Seattle, Everett, and Richland account for the largest share of accounting analyst openings in Washington. Seattle anchors the market because of its density of corporate headquarters in technology and retail, while Bellevue and Redmond draw significant volume from major tech campuses that maintain large finance and accounting teams locally.
Are there remote accounting analyst jobs in Washington?
Yes, and more than most fields. Accounting analyst work is desk-based and output-driven, making it well suited to remote and hybrid arrangements. About 33% of accounting analyst openings tied to Washington are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting how broadly Washington's technology-sector employers have adopted flexible work policies. Financial reporting and variance analysis roles tend to carry the highest share of remote options.
How can I get hired as a accounting analyst in Washington with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is an accounts payable, accounts receivable, or junior staff accountant role with a mid-size Washington employer, which provides the general ledger and reconciliation exposure that accounting analyst postings require. Large Washington companies in technology and retail frequently recruit new graduates into rotational finance programs or entry-level accounting operations roles. Completing the first two sections of the CPA exam, or earning an Excel or ERP associate certification, gives candidates a measurable edge when competing against others who share the same degree.
Where can I find and apply to accounting analyst jobs in Washington?
