"Top Remote Jobs: 100 Companies Offering $100,000+ Salaries in 2024"

Remote roles are in high demand, with accountants now topping the charts as the most sought-after remote workers, earning over $100,000 a year. The demand for accountants has been driven by retiring baby boomers and a declining number of students enrolling in accounting programs, leading to a shrinking pool of professionals. Companies are offering generous pay packets and remote work to entice accountants, with job openings in the sector expected to grow by 4% over the decade. There are currently around 865 remote accountant roles listed on FlexJobs, with top companies like Kforce and Supporting Strategies hiring, and most positions requiring a bachelor's degree or CPA license.
