Introducing What The Buck!

We’re stoked to bring you the first edition of What The Buck – New Zealand’s most comprehensive Accounting & Finance salary report.
Over the years we’ve seen a lot of frustration with the lack of quality, New Zealand-specific, dynamic accounting and finance salary data. Too often, accounting and finance gets lumped in with marketing, HR, IT and so on. The data pool is usually small, unrepresentative and often out of date.
We were so convinced you deserve better, that we built a real-time, user-driven online salary comparison tool just for you: www.whatsmyworth.co.nz. Over 5,000 New Zealand accounting and finance professionals have used it so far, making it the largest pool of robust, up-to-the-minute salary data in the country.
The result is the first edition of What The Buck (and the editions yet to come). Who’s earning what, where, working for who. Plus a few juicy stats that surprised our team and we’re sure will leave you thinking “What The Buck?”
If you’re based in Auckland and you manage accounting and finance staff, this report is a must-have.
