Accountant salary in Uzbekistan (2026)
Accountant is one of the most-advertised jobs in Uzbekistan — about 4.5–4.9% of all vacancies. The median offered salary is about 6.8 million som a month (Jan–Jul 2026), and the most common offer is 5 million. Separately, hh.uz put the median at about 9.8 million across its own database (Jan–Feb 2026) — the figures differ not because one is wrong but because they sample different employers. The realistic band for an accountant at an ordinary company is roughly 5–10 million, with the middle nearer 7 million. Chief accountants are offered considerably more. The official banking & finance sector average of 19.1 million (H1 2026) is pulled up by banks and is not what a company accountant earns.
What accountants are offered
The median salary in accountant vacancies is about 6.8 million som a month (Jan–Jul 2026), and the most common offer is 5 million. That means half of all listings on the market offer less than 6.8 million, and it is the sensible number to anchor on when changing jobs — not the top of the range.
A second reference point: hh.uz put the median at about 9.8 million across its own database (Jan–Feb 2026). The roughly 3 million gap is a sampling difference rather than an error — hh.uz is mostly formal Tashkent employers advertising in Russian, while aggregators pull vacancies from a hundred-plus sources including small and regional companies. The practical read: at a large Tashkent employer expect the upper end, in the regions and in small business the lower one.
Do not confuse any of this with the official banking & finance sector average (19.1 million som, H1 2026): that figure is dominated by banks and insurance, not by accountants at trading and services companies.
What a chief accountant earns
Nobody publishes a reliable separate median for chief accountants, which is worth knowing because a search will almost certainly surface a figure around 16.8 million som. That is an arithmetic mean across vacancies matched on the words "chief accountant", and it is inflated for two reasons at once: the sample catches finance-director-level roles and large-company listings, and a mean is dragged upward by a long tail — the same pages state a range running from 3 to 25 million.
A more honest approach is to work from the accountant median. Chief accountants are consistently offered around one and a half to two times a regular accountant: from a 6.8 million median that puts them near 10–14 million, which matches current Tashkent listings where chief-accountant offers run roughly 8 to 17 million. Position within that band is set by company size, the number of legal entities on the books, and whether IFRS is involved.
What moves an accountant’s pay
- scope — chief accountant with reporting and tax responsibility pays roughly double
- sector and company size — banks, large companies and international reporting pay more
- software and standards — 1C fluency is the baseline; IFRS/ACCA adds a premium
- Tashkent vs regions — the capital pays noticeably more
