This individual bonus increase amounts to a 38% rise from last year, according to Marks Sattin.<\/p>\n<p>Around 81% of accountants expect to receive a bonus this year \u2013 considerably higher than last year\u2019s where 55% were in a similar position. Graduates considering the financial or accounting sectors should therefore take note of the fact they are currently thriving.<\/p>\n<p>A survey of accountancy professionals revealed the average bonus estimated in 2016 now stands at 22% of an accountant\u2019s basic salary. This is the largest bonus to be offered in monetary terms since 2010\/2011 and signifies an upsurge of \u00a34,025.<\/p>\n<p>The \u00a34 billion bonus pot is based on the latest figures from the Financial Reporting Council relating to the number of accountants working in the UK. It provides a welcome boost for those in the industry but also acts to encourage graduates to consider accountancy in the long term.<\/p>\n<p>So why such an upsurge? The answer to this question is a very simple one. Today\u2019s bonuses have been sustained by a number of general developments in the UK\u2019s financial position during the past 12 months. The International Monetary Fund states the UK budget will grow by 2.5% in 2015, as the economy continues to recovery from the recession.<\/p>\n<p>This suggests accountancy roles to be a safe bet for the future and those considering studying such a subject at university may be on to a winner! Many firms offer additional training in house as well, enabling people to upskill very quickly.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for your next graduate role, speak to Discovery Graduates today<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UK accountants anticipate \u00a34 billion bonus in 2016 UK accountants should be extremely happy at present, as they can expect a share of \u00a34 billion in bonuses in 2015 and 2016 \u2013 a massive increase of \u00a32 billion annually.
