PwC has the slowest promotion path. It is the only B4 that has a standard 3 years as an associate before promotion.

The example you gave is for the cheapest COL cities. Even so, if you move up the promotion raises a year I guess you are in the 85k range after 5 years. In a more expensive area of the country, 100k is definitely attainable. Starting salary of 56-58 and then run those same numbers.

Then again, the link is an optimistic view for tax/audit for someone who is on the partner track, so it won't apply to the masses.

At the end of the day, most accountants chose the career path for the security of the job rather than the earning potential.
