Corporate Accountant Jobs in Pennsylvania: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a corporate accountant in Pennsylvania?
Most corporate accountant roles in Pennsylvania require a bachelor's degree in accounting or finance, and competitive candidates hold or are pursuing CPA licensure through the Pennsylvania State Board of Accountancy. The CPA path requires completing the required credit hours, passing all four sections of the Uniform CPA Exam, and fulfilling the experience requirement before the license is issued. Many employers will consider candidates actively working toward licensure.
How much do corporate accountants make in Pennsylvania?
Corporate 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 corporate accountants in Pennsylvania?
Employers hiring corporate accountants in Pennsylvania right now include Jobot, Wabtec, and MSS, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Pennsylvania's concentration of large healthcare systems, manufacturing headquarters, and financial services firms means corporate accounting roles appear consistently across multiple industries throughout the state.
Which Pennsylvania cities have the most corporate accountant jobs?
Bethlehem, Philadelphia, and Hershey have the most corporate accountant openings in Pennsylvania. Philadelphia dominates due to its dense cluster of financial services firms, Fortune 500 headquarters, and major health systems, while Pittsburgh's healthcare and technology sectors drive demand there, and Allentown draws openings from the region's manufacturing and distribution employers.

The most realistic entry path is an accounts payable, accounts receivable, or staff accountant role at a Pennsylvania employer willing to develop early-career talent. Large regional health systems such as UPMC and Jefferson Health, along with manufacturing companies in the Lehigh Valley and Greater Philadelphia, regularly bring on junior accounting staff through new-graduate programs and rotational finance tracks.
