Well, I'm a decent amount above the top ten percent and I have less than ten years of accounting experience. You have to remember accountants can include bookkeepers, cost accountants, even auditors. Tax accountants make more on average than anyone in the profession.

A first year tax associate in the big four starts close to 60, usuallywith a signing and annual bonus. And accounting is a pyramid structure. A five year tax accountant in the big 4 90k plus if they make manager. The same irs person is not that close and falling further behind every year.

I think I am starting to see the problem. If we simplify the Tax code with drastic and necessary changes like a Flat or Fair Tax and the high flying tax accountants' government backed annuity would wither away.

Or, we can keep "fixing" it with new deductions, credits, incentives, subsidies, and social engineering. The new health care enhancements ought to keep tax accountants in the money - IRS and Private.
