Every fully remote US accounting and finance opening on the boards we track, including the question nobody else measures: does remote actually pay less? Comparing advertised medians for the same role, the remote premium grows with seniority and fades at the analyst level.
Every number is measured from real job postings tracked across the US, Canada, and remote markets. Thin samples are suppressed rather than estimated, and Canadian pay stays in Canadian dollars.
Advertised medians for the same canonical role, remote against office, both sides gated at 25 priced postings. Remote postings skew toward larger employers and pay-transparency states; advertised pay is what postings offer, not what people accept.
