Certified Public Accountant Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a certified public accountant in Texas?

To become a certified public accountant in Texas, you must meet the education, examination, and experience requirements set by the Texas State Board of Public Accountancy. Candidates need a bachelor's degree with qualifying accounting and business coursework, must pass all four sections of the Uniform CPA Examination, and complete qualifying work experience under a licensed CPA before the board issues a Texas CPA certificate.

How much do certified public accountants make in Texas?

Certified public accountants in Texas earn a median of about $80,920 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $53,380 for the lowest 10% to over $132,040 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire certified public accountants in Texas?

Employers hiring certified public accountants in Texas right now include UWorld, Paychex, and Sage, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Texas's concentration of energy companies, financial institutions, and Big Four accounting firms means consistent demand for CPAs across both public practice and corporate industry roles.

Which Texas cities have the most certified public accountant jobs?

Houston, Austin, and Dallas have the most certified public accountant openings in Texas. Houston's energy and petrochemical sector drives heavy demand for CPAs with industry and tax expertise, Dallas attracts large corporate headquarters and regional Big Four offices, and Austin's fast-growing technology and venture-backed company ecosystem has expanded its need for experienced accounting professionals.

Are there remote certified public accountant jobs in Texas?

Yes, and more than most fields. About 50% of certified public accountant openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting how well analytical and advisory accounting work translates to distributed teams. Tax preparation, financial reporting, and advisory roles tend to be the most remote-friendly, while audit and client-site engagements typically require in-person presence.

How can I get hired as a certified public accountant in Texas with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is a staff accountant or audit associate role at a regional or Big Four firm with Texas offices, where structured new-graduate programs provide supervised experience that counts toward CPA licensure. Large Texas employers such as major public accounting firms, energy companies, and healthcare systems regularly hire candidates who have completed their accounting degree and are actively sitting for the CPA exam. Holding an active exam score report or a CPA exam conditional credit letter gives applicants a clear edge over unlicensed candidates at the same level.

Where can I find and apply to certified public accountant jobs in Texas?

You can find and apply to certified public accountant jobs in Texas on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers hiring across the state right now. Search the listings to find roles that match your experience level and specialty, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
