For a company of more than 20 staff, the average wages paid were $50,000 - $80,000. A larger company with 20 or more staff requires 5-10 years experience or more.

Mya Borgman, CEO of The People Link, stated “This analysis gives guidelines you can use when planning for expansion or budgeting for new hires or looking for a new job. This is important for job seekers, to know what they can expect. And it’s important for employers too, so they can offer the prevailing wage, not paying too much or risking losing a valuable hire.”

For a Controller in a company of 5 - 20 staff, who has 1 - 3 years experience, the average wages paid were $40,000 - $60,000. With 5 - 10 years experience the average wages paid were $50,000 - $70,000. For a company of more than 20 staff, the average wages paid were $50,000 - $100,000. The Controller position would involve financial management and analysis. For the small company the Controller was also doing the Full Charge Bookkeeper duties. For a Treasury clerk handling Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Payroll and Banking, the average wages paid were $12.00 - $15.00 per hour. To hire an independent contractor doing these Treasury functions, the average rate was $20 - $40 per hour. For a Full Charge Bookkeeper handling all of Treasury but no management duties, the average wages paid were $35,000 - $55,000.
