US figure: the median annual wage of $83,680 for accountants and auditors, BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics, May 2025, divided by 12. It is salary only: payroll taxes, benefits and recruiting come on top. $2,000 is an example salary. We do not publish a property accountant band yet because fewer than 3 placements sit behind it.
