    Hi guys just looking for a little information here.

    I recently started on a training contract and have all my CAP 1 exams and passed SFMA at CAP 2. Unfortunately I failed Financial Reporting.
    Now the question is when I pass the remaining CAP 2 exams what sort of salary increase would be normal ?
    I've been looking around lately and cant seem to find any info relating to this at all. I know every employer would be slightly different but I'm just interested in getting some rough figures.

    Thanks
    Emmet

    Depends on the firm size, first of all. I know people starting on between 16K all the way to 22K. Mostly in around 18-18.5K. These would be people with some or all of CAP1 exemptions(ACA)/F paper exemptions (ACCA).

    After you've all your exams done, I've heard salaries being around 30K... Again, just what I've heard. So don't take this figure as what you'll be earning, could be lower, could be higher - it will depend on the firm.

    Thanks for that. I'm working in a top 20 practice with all my 1st stage exams and started on €20k. I'm just trying to see what the normal rise would be after each stage of exams.
    I was thinking something like €20k with CAP 1, €25k with CAP 2 and €30-€35k when qualified.
