The median for Bookkeeper is $33,280 per year (typically $18,000–$58,600), versus $135,000 for FP&A ($107,000–$160,000). That puts FP&A about 306% ahead at the median.
Both figures are computed live from active listings on JobsRadar and normalized to annualized USD, so Bookkeeper and FP&A are compared on equal terms regardless of the currency each role was originally posted in.
