Corporate Accountant Jobs in Virginia: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a corporate accountant in Virginia?
Most Virginia corporate accountant roles require a bachelor's degree in accounting or finance, and many employers expect or prefer CPA licensure through the Virginia Board of Accountancy. To sit for the CPA exam in Virginia, candidates must complete the required accounting and business credit hours and pass all four sections of the Uniform CPA Examination. Unlicensed graduates can still enter corporate accounting in staff or junior roles while pursuing licensure.
How much do corporate accountants make in Virginia?
Corporate accountants in Virginia earn a median of about $93,290 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $60,000 for the lowest 10% to over $156,730 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire corporate accountants in Virginia?
Virginia corporate accountant roles are posted by HII, McKesson, and Merit Restorations and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Virginia's concentration of defense contractors, federal agencies, financial institutions, and large technology companies means demand is spread across both the private and government-contracting sectors.
Which Virginia cities have the most corporate accountant jobs?
Newport News, Richmond, and Chesapeake have the most corporate accountant openings in Virginia. Northern Virginia dominates because of the dense cluster of federal contractors and technology firms headquartered there, while Richmond draws demand from regional banks, insurance companies, and corporate headquarters, and Hampton Roads adds volume through its large defense and logistics employers.
Are there remote corporate accountant jobs in Virginia?
Yes, and more than most fields. About 0% of corporate accountant openings tied to Virginia are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting how well the analytical and reporting work of the role translates to distributed teams. Financial reporting, budgeting, and reconciliation tasks are the most commonly offered in fully remote arrangements, while roles requiring direct collaboration with local finance leadership tend to be hybrid.
How can I get hired as a corporate accountant in Virginia with little or no experience?
The most realistic path is applying for staff accountant or accounting associate roles, which Virginia employers such as large defense contractors, regional banks, and government agencies routinely open to recent graduates. Finance rotational programs at firms like Leidos or Capital One give new graduates structured exposure across accounting functions. Pursuing or sitting for the CPA exam while in an entry role signals commitment and accelerates advancement. Lateral entry from adjacent roles such as accounts payable specialist, payroll coordinator, or audit associate is also a well-traveled route.
Where can I find and apply to corporate accountant jobs in Virginia?
