Re: accountants wage
Hays, Michael Page, Robert Walters, Hudson etc all have salary surveys on their websites 
Expect to start on 25% less for your first job though while they test you out. I recommend contracting for that reason as your first job will be fairly short. It has taken me 5 weeks to get the rave reviews I need to ask for proper money.
