What management accountant skills affect salaries?

Management accountants are responsible for handling, organising, assessing and making decisions based on financial information. They work closely with a company’s management to improve its decision-making and guide the business’s future growth, stability and profitability. In short, they make sure that the organisation makes a profit, not a loss.
