Accountant / Finance
Accountants, financial analysts, and finance officers in Canadian public sector organizations.
Disclosed compensation is not typical base pay. Provincial disclosure thresholds, coverage, reporting years and overtime differ. Figures below count matching records, not unique employees. Each province shows its selected imported reporting year. Manitoba years follow the period end and may combine fiscal and calendar disclosures.
Average disclosed pay by province
Province comparison
These are total earnings disclosed above each province's publication threshold, including overtime, premiums and retroactive pay where reported. They are not typical base salaries, and different thresholds and reporting years limit direct comparison.

Public-sector financial officer — base pay grid
A working-level government Financial Officer classification (entry step to top step). The series has several levels — a different level shifts the band materially. Alberta omitted (no cleanly-named finance classification). Effective dates differ, so this is not a same-year comparison.
