Here’s a little backstory to my career thus far… Small firm in the Chicago suburbs (7 full time).. I am the only one under the age of 45 and the only one that isn’t partner/manager status. I started at $52k and while I’ve gotten a $3k bonus each year there have been no raises thus far due to buying out 2 retiring partners (that’s what they tell me at least). I got my CPA in December and still haven’t gotten a raise which I totally understand. We had our individual tax manager leave with no notice right at the start of January so we’ve been playing catch-up all season with the owner picking up most of that work.
I know the raise is coming but I’m trying to figure out what is reasonable/fair.. my thought has been maybe $5/h raise so $10,400 in total? I do everything here. Bookkeeping, payroll/corp/indiv/sales tax, some audit/review, and anything else that falls down from everyone else (not to mention most tech related things). I think at this point I’m pretty valuable to the company and handle a few of our more profitable clients basically independently.
Does anyone have any thoughts? It’s been disappointing to not get a raise 2 years in a row but the benefits are insane so I deal with it (no health ins payment and 13% 401k match).
