FP&A vs Tax Specialist: which pays more?
The median for FP&A is $130,400 per year (typically $100,000–$157,500), versus $144,600 for Tax Specialist ($115,750–$170,000). That puts Tax Specialist about 11% ahead at the median.
Both figures are computed live from active listings on JobsRadar and normalized to annualized USD, so FP&A and Tax Specialist are compared on equal terms regardless of the currency each role was originally posted in. Only roles that publish a salary range feed the medians; numbers refresh every few hours as new roles post and older ones close, so this comparison reflects the market right now rather than a fixed survey. Use it as a directional benchmark when weighing one path against the other.
